New York City Day Two – The Upper West Side

We spend most of our time today on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. Should you get to New York, this is definitely a very nice part of town and gives you a great idea of what New York also is – a city of neighborhoods. We had breakfast at Cafe Lalo which is on 83rd Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam, closer to Amsterdam, though. Also, Riverside Park and the adjacent boat basin are worth a visit. If you go, leave a comment and let me know how you liked the area.

Travelling in New York City – Day One


We headed to New York City over the weekend to mainly do tourist-y sightseeing. We definitely accomplished that goal. In this, the first of three parts, we’re taking the Staten Island Ferry as a cheap alternative to going to the Statue of Liberty directly. Also, we check out the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, Central Park, and Times Square (Ali was excited about that). Carlos could barely hide his disappointment when he saw that the Statue of Liberty is not nearly as big as it appears in TV or in the movies. All video is done with the Nokia N93, for some pictures of the trip -taken with the N93 as well, scroll down.
