New York, New York!

NYC for the 27th time! Arrived late Wednesday evening and were tired. Had a bit of a slow start this morning therefore, and, first thing we did after breakfast (provided by our hosts) was to walk around the corner to get some groceries at Foodtown, a well-sorted supermarket in our neighborhood, Sugar Hill/Harlem (left pic). Fortunately, we have a little kitchen with fridge etc. and don't depend on expensive restaurants.

Afterwards, we took the subway - a 1-week-ticket for unlimited rides still goes for $ 34! - all the way down to Manhattan's southern tip, to the Battery, which took us over an hour. We walked along the East River Promenade to South Street Seaport and through the historic harbor district, on to the new Arches Park and City Hall to the World Trade Center Site

Essex Street Market

From there by subway to Stuy Town and the new East River Park - not really worth the walk yet, since it's still under construction. On to the Lower East Side and Bowery - with Essex Street Market and the ICP (museum & school of photography), the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, the New Museum (closed for expansion) - to Nolita and Prince Street, Broadway and West Broadway (paradise for shoppers!) to Union Square and 14th Street,,, and, of course, we stopped at our fav book store, Strands, just "to look and see",,,

Too much to write about, just can tell you that we walked 12 mi/20 km. Since NYC is self-explanatory (and crazy - have seen more "characters" on the subways and streets today in a single day than all year at home!), just photos below:
