Mobile library

This mobile library was at Bryant Park. Saw a lot of people reading those books while having lunch at the park. Remarkable!Besides, its such a good cause.

The NY water taxi

Some things are so typical to each city!

Path train

The Transit from New York to New Jersey. I like this logo!

Lost and found

I was in New York yea, and one of the things you do when you go there is watch a play! So I set out to buy a cheap ticket for a matinee show with my precious map, happily walking around thinking I had finally mastered my way around the streets of New York! Just as I looked up from my map I realized that I WAS WALKING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION for more than half an hour! What's more! My scarf wasn't on me anymore! Whatt.....it was my favvourite scarf from London which was bought during my college days from H & M. I realized it when I was just outside an H & M store here. So, in I went, all grumpy, coz now I'd need a new one and guess what! I found the same old scarf which I had bought 2 years ago! Thankfully they don't change their stock too often! I paid some dollars for it, but it was required. SENTIMENTAL VALUE has no price tag!!

hmrmfff!!

Why are people always scowling in New York?

Battery Park

Wanna be statues at Battery Park. $5 for a picture, or a frown instead!

Over-hyped

Like millions of tourists who visit New York, I had the Statue of Liberty on my tick-list too. I lined up at Battery Park for a ticket to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty. It was really dark and cloudy, not to forget windy (extremely windy) and there was super tight security. I nearly fell off the ferry (courtesy the wind).The skyline looked so beautiful. I walked around the statue (I didn't have the upgraded ticket to go upto the pedestal). It was nice, but it wasn't absolutely mind blowing...probably coz we've seen and heard about it everywhere. What was interesting was the fact about the statue being blue (or green). Ellis Island was alrite, you wouldnt miss much if you didn't go). Overall, it was a good trip. It's one of these things you see once in your life.

mad about donuts!

more mexican food

Honestly, i thought this was a 'ditto' of Chipotle. Although the tacos I had were so delicious, I had all the mayo trickling down my face!
Good food, but naa...Chipotle is the definite winner!

Fung Wah bus

We were driving from Boston to New Jersey when I first spotted one of these. Had a good laugh! (By the way I took one of the very same buses for a day trip to Washington).

A funny signboard on the way back to New York

Don't forget to have Auntie Anne's pretzels! mmm....

One of the 'must do things' my dad has asked me to do before I left for the USA was to have 'pretzels'. I had them once in London, and somehow, I didn't fancy them. My cousin from New Jersey said I must have an Auntie Anne's pretzel. Since there was an outlet at the Newport shopping centre, Hetal took me there to have the pretzel. We had an 'original'. This time I really liked it. It has this nice salty taste which is left behind, just like popcorn although I dunno why the bread has a twisted heart shape. Anyways, I wouldn't mind having it again!
