Here's a slideshow of our visit to Times Square, Broadway, Madame tussaud's etc etc..actually of the entire trip. We loved being the tourist this time around.
Times Square as usual was super crowded, the place seems to be a little less crowded only when it rains or perhaps 4 in the morning, although I am not sure about the latter. Still its a fun place, too many people, bright lights etc etc...had a good time.
We watched our first broadway show "Spiderman: Turn of the Dark" or something, I know, I know, the critics had crushed it in their reviews, we were just super curious to see the acrobatics than anything else. But I must admit, being our first broadway show, it was not that bad...!!
Madame Tussaud's was quite expensive, but our new york pass was quite good in getting us a reasonable deal, if you intend to see as much as possible, and have no issues walking or riding a cab here and there, New York Pass is the way to go. Google it!!!
Musuem of Natural History was just too huge to be completed in one day. Great Dinosaurs!!
Museum of Sex was fun, although I didn't post much of the pictures here. NY public library had a good architecture, forgot my wide angle lens and couldn't capture the complete grandeur of the grand central.
One of the interesting visits was the Highline, a train track that was long abandoned was transformed into this nice long walk amidst flowers etc..beautiful, wall street was crowded, the bull was too crowded to take a picture.
The ride on the "Beast", one of circle line cruises faster offerings was fun, right across it was the Intrepid museum (a naval museum) and the museum of modern art though not completely breathtaking was good enough for novice art lovers like us. Installation arts, picasso, matisse etc were on display..I guess one of the classes I took for gen eds, intro to visual arts did pay some returns here.
Did go to "The daily show" studio couldn't get a standby ticket but it was great to see it finally, Jackson heights was fun with the yummiest aaloo paranthas I ever ate in my life. We visited the corona park for a bit, saw the citi field, US open field...and all the meanwhile we also came across Miss Tibet one evening.
Great Trip!!!
The MMA and the MoMA were epic misses - if modern art concerned you; and so were "Wicked," and "the Lion King."
