New York Day 1 : Rockefeller, St. Patrick Cathedral, Public Library, Grand Central, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Times Square
10:20:00 PM
Recently, I was sent to Arizona to do some project-related stuff. I stayed there for two weeks and I was able to go see the Grand Canyons on my first weekend. On my second weekend, before going home to the Philippines, I got to go to New York!
 |
| New Yooork, concrete jungle where something something |
 |
| No snow in sight. Thank goodness because I cannot stand the cold |
 |
| A lot of people in line for the skating rink |
 |
| That is the biggest real Christmas tree I have seen |
 |
| The rink still being prepared. I hear admission fee here is really pricey |
 |
| Dundler Mifflin! |
 |
| I still remember which episodes from FRIENDS these lines were from |
 |
| That is a lot of MnMs |
 |
| I wonder if it's real. Such a waste to put all these candy just for display |
 |
| I feel like a... uh... a tourist. Yeh. |
 |
| A cathedral in the middle of the city |
 |
| Get your souvenir medals |
 |
| and light a candle and pray |
 |
| A lot of it was under construction |
 |
| Mmm... Pepperoni pizza |
Our next stop was the public library.
 |
| So pretty |
 |
| I was surprised to see people who were really studying |
 |
| This is where the avengers fought with the aliens right? |
 |
| It's... a train station |
 |
| There was a fair! |
 |
| I love fairs |
When we exited the building, a ticket agent approached us and offered us a hop-on, hop-off kind of tour for $29/pax. My aunt haggled and we got it for $25. She is a haggling queen, yes, and I admire here for it. I do not have that kind of guts.
We waited for the bus and got on. It was good to be able to sit after hours of walking.
 |
| I can't remember what store this is but there were two performers up there |
 |
| Guggenheim Museum is beautiful! |
 |
| We didnt' get down at Grand Central park because it didn't seem very inviting at the time. It was really cold |
The museum was huge but I couldn't really explore everything because of depleting energy levels and the time. Sigh. I am definitely going back here.
 |
| Some food stalls in front of the museum |
When the bus finally came, we stayed for a while and toured the city. I got to photograph awesome lights and stuff!
 |
| If I dived right in there, I would not touch the ground |
 |
| New York has an abundance of MnMs |
 |
| wow |
 |
| ooooh |
 |
| ahhh |
 |
| so many... ads. |
After marveling at all that, my aunt and I head back home to get some rest for the next day. Goodbye Times Square!
Check out my second (and last day) at NY here.
