The Big Big Apple

New York City....
It's one of the nicest cities in the world me thinks... I'm describing my second visit here...

Chicago in New York
I managed to catch a broadway musical - Chicago. It was definitely good and highly recommended. Long though. One interesting thing about New York are the number of tourists that dominate - they're almost at every street corner!!

Sky scrapers
I even like the fact that tall buildings dominate the landscape here and that you almost always have to keep your head in the sky as you pass them to get a look at them!!

Big Apple
New York is called the Big Apple because it has five boroughs - just like one of the best apples in the United States that is shaped into five parts.

Times Square
Oh God, NEVER go there in the month of December - it is crazy the number of tourists that are there. But worse than the tourists is the weather. It was 23F today!! And that really means something!!

The Strand
A nice bookshop - with literally almost all the books under the sun (English ofcourse) and one of the nicest arts sections I've ever come across. You really have to control yourself!!

Museum of Natural History
The T-Rex Exhibit is AWESOME!! So is the Space exhibit. Do see it - don't miss any opportunity!!

Central Park
What can I say? No visit is complete without it. And at Christmas, Columbus Plaza has these little shops set up which are quite quaint.

Soho Road, Noho Road and Greenwich Village along with Chinatown
All four deserve a separate blog I think - after a bit of research. Since right now I'm at Radisson Hotel at Lexington Avenue (I know - it is an awesome location!!) I don't want to write too much, but all I can say is that I had a great time even though I was here only for two nights!!
