Day 10
The last day.
So sad that we have to go home but I will see you soon New York.
We had our final shopping at fifth avenue and after we dragged our luggage through the streets of the rainy New york.
Day 9
Today we had a girl/boy day. The guys had a football game they just had to see and we girls had to do some shopping. So we went to the Woodbury outlet by bus, and oh my, there is a lot of stores, so make sure you have already decided which stores to visit. You can find a lot of different brands there, from the very expensive ones to the cheap ones. It was great because I found a lovely bag and some Nike trainers.
The Woodbury outlet has 220 stores.
We came back quite late so we went directly to the apartment to get some sleep.
Day 8
Today we went to my sweetest little brother’s favourite place, the American Museum of Natural History. It was a lot to see and my brother wanted to see every little piece, so it took us the whole day. But we all had a great time. In the afternoon me and my sister went to visit Carrie Bradshaw in West Village.
American museum of Natural History was founded in 1869 and is one of the world’s preeminent scientific and cultural institutions.
One tip – try to plan your visit so you do not need to eat at the restaurant in the building. The food is very expensive and is not worth the money.
In the evening we youngsters finally got out to see New York by night, we had tried for some nights but we were just too tired then. We first went to a jazz club in the East village to have some drinks and after that we went to a small and very cosy place with live music.
Day 7
Finally we went to the spot that my mother always dreamed of going, Statue of Liberty.
The Statue of Liberty is located on the Liberty Island and was a gift from the French people as a memory for the American Revolution that was supported by France.
The statue´s total length is 93 metres including the pedestal. The opening ceremony was 28th of October 1886.
After we came back on land we said goodbye to our relatives who had a long drive back to Toronto. We took the subway to Brooklyn, Williamsburg to visit some markets and just to get to see what Brooklyn had to offer. We found a lot of beautiful jewellery that was made by locals. Afterwards we had our favourite dinner at our favourite spot, a Japanese restaurant with amazing food, and also spicy which suits us Indians very good.
Day 6
Day 6
Today our relatives from Toronto finally came. We went out quite late, we had a lot of catching up to do.
First we went to the Grand Central Terminal, which was absolutely gorgeous; you would never believe it´s a metro station. Afterwards we took the subway to Rockefeller Center to see the buildings but especially for “The Top of the Rock”.
Our cousins really wanted to see the Times Square during the evening so we went there when it got dark. It is SO COOL!
The Grand Central Station is a metro station, which opened in 1871.
The Rockefeller Center is located in Midtown Manhattan and consists 21 buildings. The Rockefeller family have built everything.
Top of the rock is an observation deck where locals and New York visitors can enjoy the view over Manhattan.
Day 5
To-do list:
- Walk over the Brooklyn Bridge
- Coney Island
- Empire State Building, FINALLY
Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. The bridge opened in 1883 (131 years ago) and it´s build over East River and connects the civic centres of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge is 1825 metres long.
Coney Island is mostly famous for its amusement park and seaside resort. We went there to see the aquarium (which I do not recommend) and to eat the famous corn dogs.
Today we finally went up to see New York from above in the Empire State Building. The building has 102 levels and it´s 381 metres high and with it´s antenna spire included the building is 443 m.
Day 4
The plans for today was to visit two of New Yorks most famous museums. We went to the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Since we were close to Central Park we had lunch there. It was so cozy.
We started to walk to the Moma but ended up in a cab. Later on we actually bought metrocards for a whole week.
Moma was founded in 1929. The Museum of Modern Art is said to be the foremost museum of modern art in the world.
MET is one of the most important and significant museums in the world. It was founded in 1870 by a group of American citizens and opened 1872. MET has more than 2 million works of art.
Day 3
Day 2
We woke up very early our first morning in NYC. We all got ready for an exciting day. The plan for the day was to walk down to Midtown and see Ground Zero. It was a beautiful day. I think it is a good start to walk the first days so you will get to know the city and the streets and of course because it is very much to see.
