Enter the Dragon

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

Took the ferry from the Pier close to Battery Park for the Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty tour on a windy day. After going through some security checks,

Poland Spring

Like we say ‘mineral water’ for bottled water in India, they call it ‘spring water’ around here. Everyone drinks ‘Poland Spring’. It's equivalent of our ‘Bisleri’ in India.

Apples in New York

I visited the most talked-about Apple Flagship store on 5th Avenue in New York. The store has a spiral glass staircase, which leads to the basement. It looks like a big glass cube. Very very fancy. There are waterfalls outside the store and it is permanently mobbed with tourists and Mac lovers. We tried to get a solo picture of me, but ultimately I gave up and said I'll manage with the crowd in the background.  I say what's the big deal in having a fancy store that doesn't even have its own products? I was looking for a normal, regular, adaptor plug for my macbook,  coz mine decided to die a sudden death and they didn't even have it! Whattttttttttt! Just imagine- the NEW YORK APPLE STORE doesn't even have a basic adaptor! 'sPity! Tch Tch! And I still prefer you over the PC!!

Pronounciations

I had fun communicating with people in New York. I wanted to take the train to a station called 'Fulton'. So I asked the lady at the ticket counter for directions. I said, "Can you tell me how I can get to 'Fulllton' station?" She wouldn't understand. I said 'Fullltonn'. Naaa...I then pulled out a map and pointed out the station to her. She exclaimed, "Oh...Foolton! Cross the street, take a left and its two blocks away".
At another time, I wanted to take one of these 'Path' trains that go from New Jersey to Manhattan and I randomly asked a few passer-bys where the nearest 'Paaaath' station was and nobody would know. Then it struck me that these guys just cannot interpret. I said 'Patttttth' and Bingo! Suddenly, everyone knew where it was! Magic! Now this one is completely insane. There is a place called 'Houston' in America, which is pronounces as 'Hue-stunn'. But there is a small part in New York, which is also called 'Houston'. But, guess what this one's called...'House-stunn'. Beats me! The next time i wanted to know something, I knew how to 'aesssssssssk' them!!  ;)

Diwali in New York

Red Mango

I went to the‘Village’ in New York, which is supposed to be a happenin’ place for food and partying at night. It was a weekday, so it wasn’t at its best, but it was quite alive. We were walking down Madison Square Park, NYU, through Bleeker Street,and we stopped by for some yogurt at Red Mango. I was wondering what toppings to opt for, when my friend Jill recommended some ‘mochi’ and strawberry along with yogurt. I gave her a look which said, what??? Mochi!!! (mochi means ‘cobbler’ in India).‘Mochi’ is an Asian something made up of rice crisps. Now,I didn’t know that. The yogurt was delicious. Tasted like a better version of ice-cream. Anyway, I asked for the smallest serving, and I wasn’t even able to finish it. Sometimes I think things are unnecessarily huge in the USA. I had to ask Jill to eat up all the ‘mochi’ while I enjoyed the strawberries and the yogurt. But, a thumbs up for this place. Interesting stuff!
