New York City

Staten Island 911 memorialMy two favorite cities to visit in the U.S. are without a doubt New York and San Francisco. This week I returned from a trip to NY and what a fabulous trip it was. Each time I go I find something new to marvel at in that city. On this particular trip I was able to do some things I had not previously done. I walked the Brooklyn Bridge and strolled through Brooklyn Heights and along the Brooklyn Promenade. I walked Central Park during a driving rain storm which offered a totally unique perspective on many things I had seen before. Visited a new park called the HighLine, an amazing feat of urban  planning built on an old, elevated train line that runs through the west side of the city. Took a ride on the Staten Island Ferry which offered amazing views of the city. And, saw an amazing musical based one of my favorite movies, Once. The pictures below capture some of these things.
