Middle days of NY
hi all,
it was really cold yesterday, like just above freezing and really windy. i love thermal layers
so, i have seen quite a lot of NY by bus now, definateley worth it.
we walked through central park in the afternoon, quite spectacular
then yesterday...
went to go to 'late show' but got there too late, bummer. caught staten island ferry and saw statue of liberty - statue is smaller than in thought.
had a mexican lunch in lower east side. walked to the aircraft carrier museum' but they would let you go on deck as it was too windy, so we didn't bother. then walked to time square and bought tickets to the broardway show, 'dirty rotten scoundrels' for 50% off (still 60 though). that was amazing! had a blast
so thats it so far. btw, i missed gospel tour as my watch was out by an hour. NY york has been pretty much like i thought it would be (i had high expectations). what has impressed me is that i have not yet met one local who hasn't been very friendly and helpful, not one. i have felt very safe the whole time unlike LA. in fact i'm actually staying in Harlem which i have been told is one of the safest places in NY (dont believe the movies). today i am going to brooklyn bridge and maybe a museum. we'll see
bye for now.

and then up the empire state building, it was a really clear day (and was pretty warm compared to yesterday). the view was spectacular!

New York, New York, its a wonderful town. Glad to hear that you are enjoying the place. It is fun, but you definitely should explore more on foot (than bus) if you have a chance. And the area around Harlem on the west side (head to Broadway, near Columbia Uni) is a nice area too - and more of a neighborhood, so more "real" than midtown in a sense.
Have fun!

Saw a post about Soup Nazi. He is now a chain around the place called "Original Soup Man". There is one on the Upper West Side (walkable from the Harlem area, actually) on Broadway near West 112th Street. And if you're into Seinfeld stuff then in fact on the opposite corner of that intersection is the famous "Tom's Restaurant" (on the north-east cnr B'way/112th Street). You'll know it when you see it. Eat there - the food is pretty good (for a diner). I like it at least.
