New York - part 3

 Hello again!  😊


What's up? I hope you had a happy Christmas time ;) It was very difficult to find some time to post something new but now, after Christmas, I am ready to continue. 😊 So, let's go!

Grand Central

An amazing railway station, one of the most impressive I think. Mostly, it is the first you will see when you will arrive to New York City. There you can feel like you're participating in some movie. Moreover, on this railway station a lot of movies were recorded. But it's not just a railway station, there is also a shopping centre and it's a perfect place for some meetings.

New York - Roosevelt Island Tram

 It's a very untypical tram on Roosevelt Island - a small island on East River. We can get there by "airtram" which is an attraction for tourists as well, biggest than this island, with a great view form the window of this hanging gondola, especially at night.

Wall Street

A very popular business quarter in New York City with impressive skyscrapers. The heart of economic system of all the world. A stock exchange on Wall Street with a giant american flag became one of the most recognisable symbol of New York City. This place is incessantly crowded by tourists and elegant businessmen.

That's all for today. See you next time!

New York - part 2

Hello again!

How are you? Hope you're doing well. Today is a time for New York City's attractions. I think everyone knows most of them, but maybe you will learn something new 😊

Museums of Art

There are a few museum of art, just like Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art or Guggenheim Museum. The first one is the most significant museum in the world, often called "Met". This museum has about 2 millions of exhibits documenting the history, culture and art of all the world. We can admire many works created by Rembrandt, Rafael, van Gogh or Monet. Museum of Modern Art, known as MoMA, is one of the most prestigious collection of modern art. Guggenheim Museum has many works from XX century and, of course, modern art.  The building of this museum is very impressive - it's a work of art designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Guggenheim Museum

High Line

Oasis situated on the west side of Manhattan. This elevated linear public park is an exciting attraction in NYC. There is a variety of plants and trees with glass railings what gives a natural feel. Moreover, there's a great view at the city and Hudson River.

St Patrick's Cathedral

I couldn't miss this cathedral because I really like cathedrals like this one - impressive, high, big, in general - Gothic ones. In New York City it's a great example of Gothic Revival. The building was erected in 1879 and renovated in 2016

This is the end of this part but I will continue next time. Hope it's not boring and maybe you can learn something new about New York!

See you!

New York

Hi!

This time I'm writing about the most populous and the greatest city in USA - New York City. A global power city, cultural, financial and media capital of the world, with a significant impact upon entertainment, technology, commerce, education, politics, sports and research. That's a lot of "the most" I think. New York city is also famous of many great places, just like Empire State Building, Central Park, Brooklyn, Rockefeller Center, Metropolitan Museum of Art, High Line, Wall Street or, of course, a Statue of Liberty.

But what is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think "New York"? For me the answer is obvious but it doesn't have to be the same things for everyone. So, New York brings to my mind, first of all, yellow taxis in the crowded street, traffic jams between very modern skyscrapers, people who are always in a hurry, running to work with a cup of coffee in their hand, additionally very well-dressed and stylish. New York brings to my mind also Central Park with people jogging or doing some different sport, as we can see in many movies shooted in New York. I can't forget about billboards which we can see anywhere in New York City, I think, and which gives a lot of light, especially when it comes to Times Square.
What is interesting, at Times Square was the first solar powered billboard which you can see below:

And what New York City brings to your mind up first? I'm waiting for your comments :)

Next time I will describe some of the biggest New York City's attractions 😊

See you soon,
