We had a little over an hour to check out the Metropolitan Museum of Art. (Twitter) I recommend much longer than that! A half day at the very least. Also, when paying the entrance fee, it says in large letters “$25”, and then in smaller letters “Recommended”. We paid about a dollar or fifty cents (I can’t remember) each to get in. And no-one looked at us as though we were horrible people.
Due to the fact that we weren’t allowed to go into the Statue of Liberty, the closest we got to it was the Staten Island Ferry. This is an excellent (free!) vantage point from which to get pictures, although perspective shots don’t really work!
Here’s a zoomed in photo of her:
The old NYC police headquarters used to be at 240 Centre St in lower Manhattan. They have since relocated, and the building, now a New York City landmark, has been renovated into apartments. Pretty cool place to live! You can go here to find out more.
The other side of Times Square, where the seats are. Did you know that underneath those risers is the TKTS booth? This is where you can get discounted Broadway show tickets. Guess which show I went to see!
This view of Times Square has the New Year’s Eve ball on display. It changed colours every few minutes, and was very distracting to watch, although maybe that’s just me!
I am going to alternate NYC and Pop Expo pictures for the next couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy!
When we walked past Carnegie Hall, I was very excited, but not for the reason that the tour guide thought. She asked who we knew that had performed there, and I said, with high enthusiasm, “John and Hank Green!!!!” Everyone looked at me with a blank expression on their faces. “Who?” *sigh*
The first picture taken in New York with the TARDIS was at Columbus Circle. I wish I could have gotten a closer shot.
I spy with my little eye, something that is blue! Can you spot the TARDIS? This picture also hints at what is to come over the next few days.
From New York (Wednesday’s photo) to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge (today). And I only took about ten steps. How did I do it? That’s the magic of Disney!
