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.

Hi Carrie.

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 28^th 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

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

Day five, half of our trip has already passed and it has truly been an amazing trip so far.

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.

Beautiful Central Park

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

Early mornings. Our feet hurted very much after our first day of walking but we decided to walk a whole day anyways.

Todays plan were to see the Empire State Building, Times Square and of course do some shopping.

The fanstatic Empire State Building.

We found a great Mexican street food joint. We sat outside and ate but it was quite cold.

The majestic Times Square. It was very cool to be there, looked even cooler in the evenings.

Beautiful sunset.

We ended our evening at the restaurant B.A.R with a tender new york strip steak and a good glass of red wine.

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.

We started to walk from 6th St between avenue B and C.

In New York City the streets are like a gridsystem whick makes it very easy to navigate.

Of course we had to make a stop at Starbucks.

Starbucks is the largest coffeehouse company in the world, with 20 891 stores in 64 countries.

We walked through Chinatown.

On our way we made a stop to look at the American Stock Exchange building. I was sad that we could not go inside.

Finally at Ground Zero. Beautiful and very emotional.

The memorial is a tribute of remembrance and honor to the nearly 3000 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center site. The pools sit within the footprints where the Twin Towers once stood.

It took a while for us to walk to Midtown but we made a lot of stops on the way.

Around the fountain they have engraved the names of everyone who past away at 9/11. Relatives put flowers on the victims names on their birthdays.

A picture of NY when it started to get darker and you can also see the Empire State Building. We started to walk home. After 14 hours of walking it is a understatement that we were tired.

Day 1

Hi.

I haven´t been able to blog because of the internet connection. Anyways we are back from New York and finally I have a functional Wi-Fi. We had an amazing time in NYC.

We rented an apartment in East Village which is a very nice neighborhood that I would warmly recommend. The cosy environment, all the different food places and the close distance to the turist attractions and shopping, makes East Village a perfect destination.

We arrived at the 21st of April in New York. We landed about 4 pm at JFK and went by cab directly to our apartment. Everyone was very tired, we just went for some grossery shopping and bought some take away and went to sleep. Busy days was coming up.

The view from the backseat on the ride from JFK was truly magical since it was the first time I saw the NY skyline irl
