Hi guys! As I mentioned, I have a couple of tips for the ones going to visit New York. I know these are nothing new, but still, a pick of my favourite things to do & see in the city that never sleeps! I also have more posts coming up, so stay tuned.
1. New York Public Library & Bryants Park
This was our first place to go see! The library itself is known from so many movies (such as The Breakfast at Tiffany's) and the park is such an oasis in the midst of all those skyscrapers. There was a nice deli next to the park, and we got a delicious ice coffee for to cool off.
2. The High Line
The High Line, an elevated park built on an old railroad and running from the Meatpacking District up to the 30th street, was one one of my must-see places. It proved out to be worth waiting for! We had such a relaxing afternoon there, so relaxing that I actually fell asleep in the grass (well I might have been a bit jet lagged also)! It also reminded me of the Promenade plantée, which is one of my favourite spots in Paris, so that was nice.
One super hot day we opted for a cooling ride on the East River Ferry. It was a perfect choice. A nice breeze and the views on both Manhattan and Brooklyn, what can one ask more for. We took the East River Ferry all the way untill the Governor's Island and spent some time walking and resting in the island. It was really a perfect summer day activity to do in the NYC, at least in my humble opinion!
+ EXTRA TIP: Shakespeare in the Park
Hah, as it seems that there's almost nothing but parks on my list I couldn't leave out the Central Park! But while it's a great park to visit at any time, I just have to tell you all: go see Shakespeare in the Park! We went to see the Comedy of Errors and it was unforgettable. It even included Lindy Hop! Come on, is there anything better than a free play that includes my favourite dance style? Luckily we had a local friend who took us there! Unfortunately there's no pictures of this as it was getting dark and anyway, photographing was not allowed. So go there and see by yourself!
So, I hope you liked my tips! More coming soon :) Is there anybody going to NYC any time soon? Or if you've already been there, what are your favourite places?
