Hadn't been in New York since 2014. So many new buildings have been built since then. Skyline is way different. I brought my sony a6400 with Tamron 17-70 lens. Took these pics 2-25-24
Empire State building is so iconic and still looks huge. The fact that it has 100 floors because of low ceilings makes it look taller than it is
Crazy sensation being in the canyons of buildings
First time seeing One Vanderbilt up close. Was walking there to go up to the top. Was absolutely freezing while walking around. Hands numb from taking photos and carrying my energy drink. Was only 35 degrees and all the buildings made me be in the shade. I'm used to living in Florida. The cold really ruined the whole experience. Hard to enjoy walking around and looking at the views. Was looking forward to getting into the heated building of One Vanderbilt.
Pigeons were everywhere
Could see the new 270 Park JP Morgan Chase building! So awesome! Huge!
Not so tall anymore but wow the Chrysler building is so awesome looking! One of my favorites!
We were told that we would have to wait 6 hrs to go to the top of One Vanderbilt. So annoying. So we didn't do it. At this point I almost just wanted to head back to the Brooklyn house we were staying at. Seriously hard to enjoy walking around down there with the cold.
One of my favorite pics from the trip
Crazy how much different Times Square looks now that Central Park Tower is there. Very cool. Enhances the view so much. Central Park Tower is huge!
This building is SO awesome! Cooler to see it in person than I expected it to look. Do wish it was slightly taller just so it'd stick out. It's one of my favorite buildings in the city for sure.
Central Park Tower is huge!!
Walked all the way to Central Park. So cold lol View from the park is really awesome though. So different than when I visited in 2014
This is where I took my drone off from! Turns out i broke many laws and rules with this but I didn't get caught so it was so worth it! Here's the video. I think yall will love this! New York is absolutely beautiful from up in the air. Wish I couldve made it to the top of One Vanderbilt but at least I got this awesome footage! Just dense city for miles and miles, so unique to see. So many super talls!
Then we took the subway back to the 3.3 million dollar house we were staying at in central Brooklyn.
Only 1.5 blocks away from this super expensive house I took these photos. Brooklyn is disgusting. Concrete, no green, no nature. Just old concrete and metal. It's dirty, and cold. So depressing. No open spaces, so crammed it's claustrophobic. Blows my mind people live their lives in this. I feel sad for them lol
Stayed at the house in Brooklyn for 5 days. Constant horns honking outside. People literally honk all the time for no reason in New York it's insane. Sirens were blasting by all day every few minutes. Was hard to sleep. The traffic was horrendous. The 3.3 million dollar house was built in 1905 and kept none of the loud street noise out of the house. All the floors creaked so loud every step. Traveling by subways seems gross and depressing.
I'm so glad I live in St. Petersburg Florida. Coming home felt like the real vacation. To warm sunshine with palm trees and wide open, non crowded spaces.
