Vodafone 360 - Website Capture

Went through most of Manhattan today. Was surprised by the slow progress that has been made at Ground Zero. Somehow I expected more. Left out Harlem and the west side. Tomorrow will continue with Macy’s, the American Museum of National History and the Hayden Planetarium.

Just arrived in New York for 5 days. I went to visit the Times Square as I arrived late in the evening. Tomorrow there will be more pictures!

My vacation is coming to an end…

The last night of NYC was the presidential election night which I spent at the Election Plaza, which normally is the Rockefeller Plaza right at the Rockefeller Center.

The crowd was amazing and so was the whole event. New York strongly supported Obama as you can see in the video. I managed to see some McCain voters and also got insulted for wearing an Obama t-shirt.

Check out the pictures and also the video which was captured while the Virginia and California votes were announced and made Obama the 44th president of the United States of America.

I completely forgot to post the Central Park and Harlem pics so I am doing this right now. Enjoy!

Not much to update about today. Just a small trip to Liberty Island to view the statue of Liberty and that’s it.

Another exhausting day that started in the East Village, which is the home to eastern Europeans. Today, there was a small market with quite a few small stands offering foods, art, clothing and various other stuff.

The tour went on through the Flatiron District where a herd of squirrels were waiting to be fed with Skittles.

Some of the rather unusual things I experienced in my life as a fast food supporter. At first, I thought this was a racist joke, but then I learned that White Castle is the oldest fast food burger chain in the United States.

The burgers did not taste at all and pictures on the wall make one feel even more uncomfortable.

On the other hand we have a strip club right across the street from our hotel and a nice Afghan restaurant called Bahar.

Today lead us through SoHo & Tribeca and the Lower East Side including Little Italy and China Town. We also managed to walk ourselves into an area looking and feeling like a ghetto, but somehow managed to get out safely as well.

The Chinese have all sorts of strange foods and I was also able to see pirated copies of movies, games and music being sold openly which I found quite interesting.

Today the tour started in Brooklyn with a good breakfast on this beautiful, but really cold and windy (4° Celsius, but due to the wind it felt like -5) and lead through Seaport and ended in Lower Manhattan.

Highlights were the stylish appartments in Brooklyn, the Brooklyn Bridge (which is a must see), Pier 17 at Seaport, Wall Street and of course the World Trade Center site.

Lunch was served at Burger Shoppe. Thanks to Jan H. for the good hint!
