New York City, June '07
We had a conference for work in New York City and I had an opportunity to spend a weekend here before some more meetings, so I grabbed my camera and walked. And walked. And walked.

NYC Day 1
Central Park from Rockefeller Center looking North. Central Park is just an amazing place. From here it looks "pretty" big, but when you realise that it's 4 kilometres long, this view takes on a whole lot of new meaning. 4 kays of highrise apartments and offices, and that's just looking on one direction. I couldn't help but wonder what the value of this land was - I checked the wikipedia entry and they estimate it to be $528 billion.

The Chrysler building from the footpath. Our hotel wasn't too far from here.Grand Central Terminal building out the front. Apparently because everything stops here, you can't call it a Station, it has to be a Terminal!Inside Grand Central. When I first walked in I felt like I'd been here before, I'd seen it so many times on TV and in movies.
It's such a large space, but the acoustics mean that you can hear pretty much everyone talking.Just another street corner. I have no idea which one.I decided to brave it up the top of the Rockefeller Centre, and I'm really glad I did.

You can see the Empire State Building above everything else.
Way out there on one of the islands you can almost see the Statue of Liberty. It's a long way away!I really was there!40th Street looking West on dusk.
Another shot of the Chrysler building. And I jagged a plane flying overhead!Little Italy! There are more Italian restaurants in Little Italy than there are in Italy! Not true, but it makes a nice sentence.Bleecker Street subway station.
