The Big Apple !
Hello guys ! I'm in NY ! It's a waking dream ! I arrived last night by bus from Boston. The bus dropped me at the bus station at 9.50pm just next to the Empire State Bulding. But I had to find my hotel and rest to go there today! I admit that all these jet lags begin to be tiring.
I took the subway next to the bus stop. Perfect ! My hotel is in the Upper West Side beside Central Park ! On the way I found a small and very nice restaurant "Hot & Crusty" where I ate a good salad! It's good for my weight !
Today I was so excited to discover all these places. So I woke up at 8am and I went to a good restaurant/bakery "Le pain quotidien" to take a breakfast (rather a brunch : with toast and ham) to spend all the day.
Central Park
After I went quikly to CENTRAL PARC ! It is really like a forest in the city. I think it is one of the only quiet places in the city at this time ! It is a relaxing place. Calm and nature allowed me to empty my mind a few minutes. The atmosphere at this period of the year is very nice and I liked the ice rink so much !
Time Square
Then I took the subway to go to TIME SQUARE ! It was one of my dreams ! I thought that I was in a movie. The Christmas decorations are amazing! I've chosen the good month to go to NY.
I almost did everything on foot ! I went to Rockefeller Center and to the famous Empire State Building. I hesitated to climb to the top but it was expensive. The budget was downsized and the time too.
Brooklyn Bridge
I wanted to discover the Memorial of the World Trade Center. So I went to another part of NY.
To end this beautiful day I went to Brooklyn Bridge. It is one another big symbol of American movies. It reminds me the poster of « I am Legend » with Will Smith (even if it is totally broken on it). It is my favorite movie !
I love this city already! :) But one day is too short, there are too many things to do and see. It's incredible !
PS : you must take warm clothes because it's very cold in New York in December :p
This evening I am heading to Canada! See you later my friends! If you have any question don’t hesitate. J!
