Trip to Zion: New York City

the third and last part of my new york city photo diary.

on our last day in new york we went to harlem. we intended to go to church but a gazillion other tourists had the same plan. ^^ at least we got some free books! :D i took this one for me: be not afraid: overcoming the fear of death. haha, i just found it on amazon: click me. it seems the book is not that unknown...

i really enjoyed being in harlem. i remember back in 2007 i was way too scared to go there with my friend. complete nonsense. it's not the harlem it used to be.

chelsea market. once a factory this place is now a great shopping mall with cafés, bistros and small shops. a definite must-see!

everything blends in perfectly at chelsea market. the old, the creative and the new.

we had the perfect weather for visiting the highline park. it's so different from other parks.

it originally was an elevated railroad spur. but these days various plants grow there.

you can still see the old rails.

the green in the city. this is how it should be.

view from the elevated park.

i wish vienna had a park like this.

2012 was my year of flower photography. ^^

welcoming.

how it looked like back then. just my picture of an old picture to show you a piece of history.

highline park today.

new york.

the united states of america.

trump tower.

in front of the rockefeller center. in summer there's a café, in winter there's a skating rink.

even the sky is cooler in new york city. :D

looking up the rockefeller center.

we never saw the whole thing...

going to the observation deck of the rockefeller center.

looking at central park.

view from top of the rocks.

my favorite building.

bestest travel buddy.

urban jungle.

i miss you new york. :(

this is how my new york city diary ends... with a sunny day in september.

finally! this is the second part of my nyc photo diary. there will be a third and last part soon. if you like my pictures part one can be found here. enjoy!

going to liberty island! yeah!

on the boat.

taking animal pictures and looking at animal pictures is kind of fulfilling.

this is her. and she is so tall.

lady liberty.

my second time in ny. i love this city!

oh!

say does that star-spangled banner yet wave...

... o'er the land of the free...

... and the home of the brave?

me taking a gazillion pictures of a seagull.

beautiful birdie!

i'm so glad i went to liberty island this time.

reminiscence.

battery park.

better than any broadway musical! :D haha.

next time i visit the big apple the one world trade center will be finished.

new and old.

at the world trade center memorial.

i didn't snap any pictures of the memorial itself. i can only recommend going there! it's so far the most breathtaking memorial i've seen: two pools with the largest manmade waterfalls in north america. they were constructed on the exact places where the two world trade center towers once stood. i was moved to tears.

i would have liked to see a basketball match but basketball season's not in september. D:

it was a little bit boring but nice. haha.

the baseball game goes on for hours and hours. therefore: don't go there when the game starts. most of the people arrive around 9 pm.

go yankeeeeeeeeeeees!

kapow!

brooklyn wall.

yellow cabs are awesome!

would you like to have a fire escape staircase?

little italy.

chinatown.

fdny.

they have a weakness for yellow.

flowers in greenwich village.

houses in greenwich village.

the sweetest bakery in greenwich village.

the magnolia bakery.

i had to try a cupcake!

omnomnom!

so cute!

real coffee and a cupcake. made my day.

some of the things i bought in ny. fresh lipgloss for my dearest a. i should have bought one for me too... ^^ and a diptyque candle. this one: baies/berries. the scent will now always remind me of a warm autumn day in the big apple.

i like small cafés and bakeries.

our little babies! lol. when i ate mine i din't really like it... sugar frosting on top. all i'll say. but now that i see the picture... i want one so badly! it's the same with hungarian langos: you want to try it with cheese and ketchup. then you hate it. next time you see it: you'll buy it again. xD

empire state of mind.

the lobby.

brooklyn.

flushing avenue.

the subway.

subway train.

williamsburg bridge and flat iron building.

230 fifth. best decision ever!

what it looks like inside.

on the rooftop terrace of 230 fifth.

my precious, my darling, my sweetheart, my honey, my pumpkin, my love.

sunny and hot in autumn. we were so damn lucky that day.

champagne and mimosa.

i. want. to. go. back. SO BADLY!

'one hand in the air for the big city.'

food food food. i love food.

veggie foodporn!

the mister is getting his burger of the day.

i ain't leavin' without a friggin' dessert!

he loves this city. he doesn't know it yet. xP

good times.

i was kind of fascinated by the fire escapes, it seems. haha.

solomon r. guggenheim museum.

this time i made it inside! but then the ramps were closed. ^^

i love ny. i love ny. i love ny. i don't care that the subway stations are filthy. i can overlook the fact that the food is less yummy. it's ok that it's scorching hot in summer. this is my city. ethnically diverse. vibrant. glamorous yet down-to-earth.
