new york

Have you ever thought you were so close to a city .. .
you just had to pop in?

Coming from Canada..
we feel that four hours driving is not out of our way.
We were.  ..and so we set our GPS . .
and drove into New York on a very rainy day.

One thing about a GPS. .
if you ommit the E before the 51st. . .it will not take you to E 51st Street.
Upon entering the city ..
we found ourselves close to a large santitation department in an area where we didn't want to stay ..
we think somewhere under the Brooklyn bridge.

If you are looking for cheap cheaper accomodation ..
you might want to consider staying in a Pod.

It felt quite homey ..
not unlike  a cruise cabin . .
or travel trailer.

As long as you have a map ..
you will never truly be lost.
As long as you have locals hurrying about. .
you can always ask.

As long as there are NYPD riding their bikes. .
you can be rest assured ..
there will be no feet standing on ledges tiny signs say they shouldn't.
and. .
you will feel quite safe.

With limited time. .
it made sense to take a harbour cruise. .
and see the area from a distance.

 

Some pictures. .
require no explanation. .
and. .

speak for themselves.

all for now. .
