The Big Apple

So as part of my blur of a week, I spent 3 days in the Big Apple. New York City!!!

I began my trip to the states with 4 days in New Jersey, then taking New Jersey transit into New York City where I meet my Sister in Law Jennifer who has lived and worked in New York City and the surrounding area. This was my first trip to anyone of the Major Cites on the East coast besides Washington DC. 

Sight from the High Line, an old elevated train line, now converted into a beautiful Garden/walk

In Front of Madison Square Gardens!!

I saw a number of sites in the three days that I was there.  A lot of walking, and beautiful weather.  We were very lucky, and were inside every time it began to rain.  Took in some sites my first day out to include the High Line, beautiful park area that takes you away from the busy city.  Continued through the center by Madison Square Garden.

 A short walk takes us to Times Square, seen above is one of the many pictures I took that looked at all the advertisements seen in the area.  You can see above where the ball sits until New Years Eve.

Our final stop was walking by the New York Public Library and Grand Central Station.  Here you can see Grand Central Station and the Chrysler Building.

Second day in the city we started off going through a Flea Market in Brooklyn where I found a cute dress.  We then walked over the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan Financial District.  From the picture below you can see the bridge and some of the high rise buildings.

Freedom Tower, stands where the World Trade Centers stood

 In order to see the Statue of Liberty, we took the free Staten Island Ferry, which took us by the statue.  At the time the Statue is undergoing renovation inside, and prices of tickets were quite high.  Great way to see such a historic piece!!

One of many pictures I took from the Staten Island Ferry.  Here you can see a large part of Manhattan and just off of center the Freedom Tower.

Saturday evening we also went and saw a Comedy show, near Times Square.  This was my first ever Comedy show, I was kinda skeptical, but two of the comedians were great and very entertaining.  

 

 

Sunday Morning, Tiffany's

 Sunday Morning we began out in Central Park and continued our way through down 5th Avenue, checking out a number of the window displays and also stopping in the Museum of Modern Art.  We took the above picture in Tiffany's.

 Throughout the afternoon we walked through Rockefeller Plaza and also saw Radio City Music Hall.

One of the Highlights of the trip was getting the opportunity to see the Musical Chicago just off of Broadway at the Ambassador Theater.  I truly can say that I do enjoy Musical's!!

I had a great time having Jennifer as more so my  tour guide through the center.  Had some amazing tasting food and saw some sites I never thought I would have the opportunity too. 

It was a great experience to spend a few days in the City that Never Sleeps
