NewYork city

New York? New York city? Great!! the city of my childhood dream, my teenage' dream. Just can't wait to see it so when our plane turned its last time to touch down I took Manhattan from the sky !!

Manhattan


The great old lady ( Statue of Liberty) view from our plane


Empire State Building's entrance

Of course no visit to NYC will be completed without a visit to Empire State Building.

We bought the tickets online before we left land of OZ and glad we did when we saw the loooonnnng queu !! Still queued to the lifts though :). If you ever go to NYC and go to the top of ESB, do it at dusk to see the city start to light up, what's a sight!!

Chrysler building, from ESB



New York' architecture


The golden Bull, Wall street's symbol
We also went to Ground Zero, stood there, looked at the vast empty site once was NewYorker' pride, my spine felt tingling, my eye was wet. In silent I said a prayer to the victims.

May they rest in peace.
Amen

New York is too big, and our stay was just for few days so what we saw just its surface. Hope that one day we will come back, and yes, so far NYC and Tokyo are my favorite places.
