Man it's just the same year and almost same month that I visited NYC in May 2011.
Man I wish I stayed at that killer view hotel room but I ain't that rich on budget. Man why didn't I meet that naked cowgirl while strolling in Manhattan, I really liked her outfit...I would tip her $20-$30 to take photos with her...I love real-life naked women. Klaus is a rich man and beyond middle class no matter how many times he denies it. The overall quality and aesthetic of photos stand on top on ssp forum. |
One of the most important sights in the city is of course the 102-story Empire State Building from 1931.

I loved visiting the completed observation deck in 2018. :yes: https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema26.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema14.jpg Jersey City across Hudson River has also seen new skyscrapers go up since our visit. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema13.jpg Liberty Island in the distance. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema15.jpg Busy Midtown streets below. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema28.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...g_maisema9.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema25.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema10.jpg Looking north, all recent supertall buildings were still plans ten years ago. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...rroksessa1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...rroksessa3.jpg 30 Rockefeller Plaza observation deck is another epic place to visit high above Manhattan. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema22.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema30.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema29.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema23.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema12.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema21.jpg Chrysler Building is a New York City icon. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema11.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema19.jpg View towards Brooklyn. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._maisema27.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...g_maisema3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...g_maisema5.jpg View from the upper observatory on the 102nd floor.

i'm kinda picky about times square shots and i have to say yours are really great -- they do capture the traditional feel of the place well.
can't believe i am missing crowds like that. well not really, lol, wellll ... really. ugh. |
Great collection of photos! I especially liked your photos from the ESB of the Flatiron Building and the close-up of Chelsea rooftops with all the water towers. Next time I visit NYC, I’ll also have to visit the lobby of The New Yorker. Beautiful lobby & mural.
|
Thanks for your comments. The New Yorker is a fairly inexpensive hotel for its beautiful architecture and the lobby alone is worth checking out. Location is also great nearby many transit options.
Yeah, I bet Times Square looks quite different these days, which is a shame, as there is normally so much life in that area! |
After visiting the iconic Empire State Building, we enjoyed a nice stroll up Broadway all the way to Times Square. It was lunch time and as tourists we decided to try out the Planet Hollywood restaurant. :rolleyes:
https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...squarella3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...hollywood5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...hollywood1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...hollywood2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...hollywood4.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...hollywood3.jpg After a mediocre lunch we wanted to enjoy afternoon drinks and decided to check out the city's only rooftop revolving restaurant on top of the Marriott Marquis hotel. I am surprised by the absence of more revolving restaurants as the views were really nice. :shrug: https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view7.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view6.jpg Even though the restaurant is located on the 48th floor, the views are still obstructed by tall buildings around it. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view4.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._the_view8.jpg To complete our day of doing touristy things, we visited Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. It was our first time and still the only time to one, even though one opened also back in Berlin later on. It was actually a nice visit and writing this makes me now wonder why we haven't visited another one? :shrug: https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...tussauds15.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds8.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...tussauds10.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds9.jpg The visit was certainly worth it as the was figures are very life-like and their posture allows for fun photos to take home. :) https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds6.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds4.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds7.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._tussauds2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...tussauds13.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...tussauds12.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...tussauds11.jpg Next day we would visit many key sights on the Lower Manhattan, so more to come... :) |
Beautiful photos. It is amazing how the skylines of Manhattan, Long Island City and Jersey City have changed since your visit. You'll have to come back! :cheers:
|
Terrific photos! There's an interesting distant view of downtown Manhattan early in the thread, and I was thinking "what part of the city is that"? I had forgotten One World Trade Center hadn't gone up yet, so I didn't recognize it as downtown. Also, the Wax Museum photos are a hoot :haha:
|
holy toledo — wax museum pics for the win! :haha:
you are due for a return. honestly i would wait until 2022 tho, but do come back for an update! |
Thanks guys. We have been back once more in 2018 when we were in town to celebrate the NYE at Times Square. It was interesting to see One World Trade Center completed and see all the new supertall buildings of Midtown.
One day I will perhaps get to posting photos from that trip! :) |
Our next day started off cloudy as we made our way to Lower Manhattan or "Downtown". Riding on the New York City Subway is somewhat of an experience as the system is just so vast with long trains departing every few minutes. To tourists like us it seems like an impressive and efficient mass transit system. :yes:
https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...etrokartta.jpg We boarded a train at Pennsylvania Station which is located below the world-renowned Madison Square Garden. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...are_garden.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...a_station1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...ter_asema4.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...a_station3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...ter_asema5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...a_station2.jpg We rode a train down to City Hall Station which is surrounded by the beautiful Woolworth Building. Standing 241 metres (792 ft) tall, it was the world's tallest building between 1910 and 1930 and is still an impressive sight! I was hoping to visit the lobby but it didn't seem accessible at that time, so we only marveled at the architecture from outside. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building4.jpg As the station's name suggests, New York City Hall is located at the middle of the park with other city buildings around it. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...city_hall3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...city_hall1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...city_hall2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._new_york4.jpg Frank Gehry's 8 Spruce Street had just opened to residents few months earlier and was one of the tallest residential building in the city. This modern building has 76 floors and stands 265 metres (870 ft) tall. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._new_york3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._new_york1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._new_york2.jpg This are is also where Brooklyn Bridge connects Manhattan with the borough of Brooklyn. It is possible to walk across the bridge and we would do that on another day. :) https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...yn_bridge3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...yn_bridge1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...yn_bridge2.jpg Pier 17 is an interesting quick stop nearby with historic ships docked. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...6_maisema2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...6_maisema1.jpg It being June, we were a bit surprised to find a store specialized in Christmas decorations being open for business. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...oulukauppa.jpg Time to venture deeper into Downtown. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut15.jpg Being a first-time tourist in New York, one can't help but constantly look up to marvel all these skyscrapers. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...piirtajia8.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...piirtajia1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...piirtajia7.jpg Not too far from Pier 17 is where a fairly narrow street named Wall Street is located. It is the pulsating heart of the financial world with its famous stock exchange. There is no visiting the building but it looks nice from the outside. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_porssi1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_porssi2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_porssi5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_porssi3.jpg From there we would continue our walk towards the southern tip of Manhattan with many more photos coming soon. I hope you are enjoying this blast from the past! :) |
old times
Good "old" times... when NY taxis were still mostly crown victorias.. and not jap hybrids. Doesnt fit NY at all... maybe fits Tokyo but not NY..

Exploring the area beyond Wall Street.

These photos are great. Looking forward to the rest, and hopefully the 2018 ones as well!
|
Great photos! I haven’t been to NYC in ages. So many places I need to get back to...
|
Thank you for the stroll down memory lane, before all those butt ugly supertall towers insulted the skyline!
|
Alright, time to explore NYC some more!
https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut22.jpg It was going to be a beautiful day and so we walked to Madison Square Park to start our day. The park is located where the Fifth Avenue and Broadway meet each other. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...dison_park.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...fh_avenue1.jpg Standing by the park is the famous Flatiron Building from 1902.When it was constructed, people were convinced that it would tip over in strong winds, which hasn't happened to this day. :rolleyes: https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building7.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building6.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...ing_hi-res.jpg View towards and from the Empire State Building. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut20.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog..._building6.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...g_maisema8.jpg We continued our walk south, walking across Union Square. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut21.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut23.jpg Washington Square Park a bit further south is a green oasis in the middle of a busy university campus. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park7.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park6.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park3.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park4.jpg There was a science fair in the park on that day which was fun to watch. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...uare_park2.jpg Our main destination was Greenwich Village which we absolutely loved as this picturesque area is an quintessential part of the New York City vibe. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village1.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village5.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village4.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village2.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...in_kadut24.jpg https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village6.jpg The Magnolia Bakery became famous after being featured on the Sex and the City series and has since become a bakery chain. https://cdn.vuosiamaailmalla.fi/blog...h_village3.jpg There are several movie and television set buildings in the area, although most of the productions themselves were shot in studio.

To end our busy day exploring Manhattan, we spent the afternoon visiting the excellent Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum.
