More sightseeing in New York: Crazy City

After relaxing on the 1st we put our walking boots on and discovered a little bit more of New York. I think you can walk around in this town for your whole life and you still would find new corners and places to check out.

St. Patrick's Cathedral

inside

 

find the flag: there are 5 in this pictures, can you find them

 

the Rockefeller Centre

 

Ground Zero, pretty big site compared to Vancouver sites

 

 

 

The winter garden of the Financial Centre

 

Next to Ground zero

 

The new construction: "The freedom tower".
They bend all their reinforcement on site...

 

 

Memory from the World Trade Centre

 

Car parking garage with elevators for the cars.

 

South Street Seaport, from the 19th century

 

also called the "street of sails".

 

Brooklyn bridge

 

Kerstin at Pier 17.

 

You know that street? Where does it go to?

 

We walked from downtown to Brooklyn via Brooklyn bridge and took the subway back via Manhattan bridge.

Sunset - view to the statue of liberty, Battery Park!

 

Skyscraper museum: The highest building will be soon in Dubai - too high!!!

 

We went out for dinner on our last night in New York. Dessert: Tiramisu :)

 

 

Later on we went into a pub with 80 different, international beers. But it didn't taste good at all.
They had two German beers: Schöfferhofer and a non alcoholic one - not really representatives of our country!

 

Next morning we went for a run in Central Park. It was freezing cold but also nice and sunny.

 

We planned to go ice skating after the run but we were too cold - Vancouver is much warmer!

 

Skyscrapers

 

 

Last picture in midtown...

 

On the way back to the airport (JFK).

Thanks a lot Werner and Laurene!
We had a great time.
