New York City part 1


After Washington we finally had two days to explore New York City. After a must deserved sleep-in we started by visiting the United Nations building which was only a few blocks from our hotel. The tour was fairly interesting and we were able to see the general assembly. From there we ventured to Grand Central station and then Time Square. The thing about New York is that there are simply too many interesting things to see and they all take longer than you anticipate. So after several hours in Times Square we decided to go check out the Knicks game.


Thanks to Mr. Tischelman and his unreliable daughter we were able to get some great tickets for only 40$. Lucky for us the Suns were in town and we got to see Shaq and Nash. It was my first NBA game and seeing Madison Square Garden was pretty awesome.



After the game we checked out the Empire State Building since it's open until 2am. It was super cold at the 89th floor observation deck but I grabbed a few shot of Manhattan. The above shot is of downtown, the Brooklyn bridge is on the left side and the Statue of Liberty on the right. The other looks out over Queens with the Chrysler Building on the left side.
