Some pictures from a travel to NYC, to spend some days in New York City over New Years eve.

These shots were all take recently in December / January – it was cold but the sky was clear all the time.

Here you can see the squirrels all around the different parks in Manhattan.

The famous FlatIron Building from front. Down the blog, you’ll see it from the the top as well.

And a short visit in Chinatown. It is really different compared to the rest of Manhattan.

Any smokers?

This is the well know Grand Central Station – it was used often in movies as backround scenery.

Some nice architecture in the very south of Manhattan, Financial district and Wall Street is close.

This is Ground Zero.

The graveyards close to the Trinity church.

And here the Trinity church from inside, really beautiful church, always worth to visit.

The Wall Street

You have different options to get close to the Statue of Liberty – the easiest and cheapest is to take the ferry to Staten Island, which is free of charge. You pass the Statue of Liberty quite close, close enough to see it and take a nice photo.

South Manhattan during Sunset

And here some views from the top of the Empire State Building. They charge you 29 USD and you have to wait up to 5 hours. Or you take the express ticket without any waiting time for 49 USD – you are on the top in max 10 min. But don’t buy any tickets on the street, they are much to expensive, buy it directly at the lobby of the Empire State Building

Pretty cool hairdresser in Manhattan

Madison Square Garden

The highline park, an old railway track, now usable for pedestrians

Construction of a new skyscraper

Nice artwork
