Some other sights of Manhattan in NY

New york is a big city with a dirty subway that links the 5 boroughs.....our 7 day trip was focused on the major attractions and some other places we could cover in the manhattan area....yes we truly believe that New York is a big MUST SEE city with many things to do....but somehow it lacked a little soul.....many places in Europe and London seem to have a little more magic about it.....maybe it is due to its big tall buildings....


Chrysler Building
New York's third tallest building.....its regarded as one of Americas finest and favourite looking building in the city/USA.....the only reason why the Empire state building is more famous is because it is now the tallest building in NY and hsa an observation deck for the public to go up to....
Brooklyn Bridge
The bridge links manhattan to brooklyn borough.....when we go New York again we will explore Brooklyn borough....

Grand Central Station
Our hotel was very near grand central which made it really easy to get around manhattan.....this iconic station has always been a place to visit. Don't forget to try some of the NY cheesecakes offered in bakeries located inside the station.


Trump Tower
Another tall tower with a famous name.....Mr Trump wasn't aound while we were there :)


United Nations
No visit to NY should go without visiting the United Nations....this is where all the important UN forums and events happen.......but try not go visit NY when a major event is happening....

Wall Street
Apart from the statue of liberty, there is one iconic icon that symbolise the consumerism culture and greed of society.......you can't not take a picture with the ICONIC bull...



Central Park
Its pretty weird to see this big park right in the center of all these tall buildings....but houses around Central Park are extremely expensive!!! This place holds concerts and is a place where New Yorkers love to go to just chill out....
