Hi everyone and welcome to my Let'sTravel series!
Today it will all be about New York! Well what is there to say about New York, everyone probably knows quite a lot about NY, even if you haven't been to NY yourself! Why is that so? A lot of movies are being shot in NY, so you see a lot of its places, without even going there. When you get there though, the feeling of it gets quite lost, at least in my easy... Don't get me wrong, it still is a fascinating city, the skyscrapers and just the complete city, but not the same... Also I think it's really dirty there, I would rather go to Tokyo, Lisbon, San Diego and many others, this could get a very long list.
Nevertheless I will show you some photos with some tips of NYC!
Skyscrapers everywhere you go, but you know that already... I would say NYC is worth a visit, but I don't need to go there again. Definitely go up the Empire State building and have a look over the city, really fascinating up there!
You should really walk around Brooklyn bridge, Manhattan bridge and go over to Vinegar Hill, around these places there is some pretty cool stuff to see.
Some facts about NYC:
- Around 15000 forms of life have been found in the NYC Subway system ...
- There is a skyscraper with no windows in NYC
- New Yorkers bite 10 times more people per year than sharks do (This is jsut crazy!)
- It can cost nearly $300,000 to operate a hot dog stand around Central Park
What else, but Hot Dogs! I mean it's quick and good! But there are of course many other places I would just wander around, you will find a lot of places...
Flatiron Building is worth a visit if you are interested in architecture, also many other buildings of course! Since I am studying interior architecture, I am interested in everything in and around buildings...
These taxi drivers are just crazy drivers in NYC :D Either you tell them you got time and they won't race if you are lucky, but most probably not....
If you feel like being watched, most probably it's because you are being watched!
...some more impressions of NYC...
If you happen to go to NYC, try not to do the mainstream things... Best would be to stay with airbnb and maybe the locals can give you some advice! We did all the mainstream things + some offgrid, today I wouldn't do the mainstream things anymore, at least not all of it...
Do you have any more questions? Or need tips? Feel free to share your questions or your own tips, I will read all of them and reply as soon as possible.
I hope you enjoyed my "Let's Travel" series. Let me know what you think, so I get the chance to improve! We finally made it to the US, are there any cities you would prefer?
