Day seven. Over the city?

After shopping at TJMax and Marshalls we had to rest in a park .... But not in an ordinary park! In the park called High Line, i.e. a park at heights. Once again, we are delighted with this brilliant idea of replacing old railway viaducts with a park of several kilometres above the streets of the ...

Ferry to Staten Island

Some travel guides tell you how to explore New York and at the smae time spend the least money. It is not easy because the prices are high. In our opinion, they increased by about 25% in 5 years. The subway went up the least. 2.75 - one trip, 33.00 – a metro card for 7 days! To see Manhattan at ni...

Facebook reminded us that we were in the same place exactly five years ago! I have read that post and found that no...

Day four. Shopping?

Friday. Time for shopping or at least window shopping. First, we chose the Macy’s department store. “Macy's (originally R. H. Macy & Co., Stylized as Macy's) is an American department store chain founded in 1858 by Rowland Hussey Macy. (…) The flagship store covers almost an entire New York Cit...

Central Park

Everyone visiting New York can be found in the Central Park. This is an important place on the tourist list. We were inspired by Woody Allen with his movie "A Rainy Day in New York".
