New York in Black and White ...









From the Rockafeller

It was definitely a highlight to be at the top of the Rockafeller Center at dusk. There are far too many pictures of the same thing here but I like them all!!

Looking out of Central Park

The rivers and bridges ...

The Statue of Liberty (good zoom on the camera!)

Lots of tall buildings ...



The Empire State building (there are a few pics!)

The Village ...



Hop-On Hop-Off Walk ...

We walked a HUGE chunk of the bus tour due to a small misreading of the street names (and wondering why we couldn't see the bus!) but managed to tie in some shopping as we wandered. We got the bus at the tip of Manhattan and headed back to Mid-town.



Brooklyn Bridge





Battery Park

Battery Park is right down on the southern tip of Manhattan. Surounded by people flogging fake watches, handbags and all sorts (saw a cool Celtic picture inamongst!), we ate an ice cream and looked at our Lady Liberty ...
