Top of the Rock


Today I walked the streets some more, and ended up at Times Square. NBC/Universal has studios with large windows to the side walk there, and I wanted to watch how they film stuff. Turns out that they pulled the curtains. Oh, well. And here I was again next Rockefeller Center. I bit the bullet, and paid my $21 to get to the observation deck. The view is truly impressive. The pictures don't do it justice.



Looking south over Manhattan, and New York harbor . I really like the commanding presence of the Empire State Building in the sky line.


Me and Central Park. ... Sorry, I'm in the way ...


Yeah, that's better.





The lower level of the Observation deck. Notice the interesting variations in roof architecture with the buildings below.


6th Avenue was closed for traffic today, in favor of a long street fair with arts & crafts, and pretty good food.

New York (oder korrekter: Manhattan, weil den Rest habe ich ja noch nicht besucht) ist eben einfach eine cool Stadt!

Bin neidisch!
