Ahhhhhhhh New York, a place I want to go to some day.
Great Series Chris.
That Ship is a beauty!
I just love that portrait of the little girl in your final post in this series.
The expression on her tiny face is just so natural.
Thanks for sharing your trip with us

must say New York is a great place to visit... and I agree about the little girl - she looked so cute and the picture is one of my favourites of all my candid type pics ever
thanks Chris

Well firstly I have been to the USA 5 times with the New York trip, and pretty much love visiting the 'former' 'Colonies'
checking on our subjects
any way we stayed at 94th street in a Hotel that was expensive and quite frankly not great (forgotten the name) and it was extremly expensive
next time will stay in Brooklyn get a cheaper hotel and hopefully better
I found the subway system to be very easy to navigate round and very cheap 1 week for about 25 bucks (or so)
so dont waste your hard earned money on taxi's
our trip was a 10 day one and pretty much went round all the tourist stuff.. and the Bronx zoo was a paticularly good day visit and in the process found a great cheap Italian diner serving real nice food, which we ended up getting the train back to on a couple of occasions just for the great chat with the owner and obviously great food
also took a trip out to the Shea stadium to have a look round, unfortunatly at the time one of the players was flying his plane and it crashed into a Manhattan skyscraper causing a heck of a lot of speculation about what was going on (as you can imagine) and sadly he was killed.
we found a little area near brooklyn bridge with a lot of buskers etc which was a real nice area and also had some nice picture taking ops
shot the ship one from there
I was amazed at the amount of Parades going on... there seemed to one every other day for some reason or another
the pic of the Little girl was at a Korean festival
must add that the Police officers were pretty rude all the time and really did not want bothering from eating there Donuts, to answer questions from tourists
The place as a whole was a great experience - must add that I have travelled the USA quite extensivley and found NY to be different from most other places
hard to explain how, but there seems to be many different cultures living in the same city but all seem to be in there own communitys
San Fransisco is similar but I think is a more tourist friendly city... I actually like SF a little better for the friendliness - but my wife likes NY better, so take your pic
one thing for sure I would not hesitate in going back... one downer was that B&H was closed for some holiday or another the whole time we were there grr
sorry not much of a review as such but thats a basic run down of the trip
regards Chris
Have fun in NY!! Come and visit again soon!
I am Mine!
