New York Trip I

From Maryland, Airene, Jamie and I went for a short trip to New York City. It only took us 4 hours by bus. I was an intense trip, we reached Manhattan around noon and we had to leave on the next day evening. To make sure we make good use of the time and visit all the tourist places, we planned it out like the places we wanted to visit and the transportation subway/walk/bus.

The 'well-planned' plan. =p

From our hotel, we walked all the way from Broadway to ex-World Trade Center. Basically you can't see anything in there because they are rebuilding the new WTC.

But.. there were a few small holes that allowed you to have a peek inside.

Nearby WTC, there is this Century 21 Department Store which have a lot of big brands that selling for low prices. You need to spend like 24 hours in there to look for whatever you want.

Then we walked to Trinity Church.

When you are in New York, don't forget to get yourself a hot dog. It smells extra good at night. haha.

In New York, there are a lot of small parks that allow you to have lunch in there/read a book/walk your dog and so on. I guess this statue is showing us how busy a NewYorker can be.

Wall Street. The Charging Bull. The symbol of aggressive financial optimism and prosperity.

From there, we walked to Battery Park. This is The Sphere. It once stood in the area between WTC towers and it was relocated to Battery Park 6 months after 9-11. The eternal flame is as a memorial to the victims of 9-11.

There were so many 'fake' statue in the park. You have to pay them to get a picture with them.

Street performance.

When we told this uncle we were form Malaysia, he played us Negaraku.

From Battery Park, we went to the ferry terminal nearby to take a free ferry ride to Staten Island. The purpose was to take pictures of Statue of Liberty (We cheapo la, didn't want to pay for the ferry to the Statue of Liberty Island. This was the picture taken we were on the way back to Manhattan. The sunset view.

Took a bus from the ferry terminal to South Street Seaport.

The night scene near South Street Seaport.

Brooklyn Bridge behind me.

Took subway to Rockefeller Center. The Christmas Tree and many of them were ice-skating in front of the tower.

The Top of the Rock which is located on top of the building of Rockefeller Center.

The whole point was to look at the view of whole Manhattan. The tall building is Empire State Building.

The Grand Central Terminal. Crowded. People are rushing to everywhere.

On the way to Broadway, we saw the shooting of new series Lipstick Jungle. =p So, I assumed she is Lindsay Price la, taking the role of Victory Ford in Lipstick Jungle.

Ta-Daaaa... Broadway.

At Time Square area in Broadway with the policemen and horses.

Met up with WeeJie who has been working in New York for a while. It was really gooooood to see him again. =)

Ate ice cream at Tasti D-Lite. The shop was in shows such as Sex & the City and The Apprentice before. The ice cream is really nice, because it was not super sweet!
