Our Trip to New York City: Part 2 Photos - (1)

We had a fabulous trip, as you can see, from the photos we took, that  represent what New York City is like for a tourist. 

This photo essay is in two parts. The second part of the photo essay is here.

The text part of this journey Our Trip to New York City: Part I.

Thanks to Jessie Voigts for putting these photos inline for me!  Much appreciated, Jessie !





The New York City skyline, as seen from the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, on a typically hazy day.







The Chrysler Building, as seen from the Empire State Building.








A gold-topped building, as seen from the top of the Empire State Building. I Googled "gold-topped building, NYC,"but could not find anything on this building.









Looking down 86 floors from the Empire State Building, onto the street below. Often, you can see 8 city buses, 6 taxis, 2 passenger cars and a bicyclist jockeying for space at the intersection.












Macy's flagship store on 34th street, Herald Square.  Eight floors of merchandise, and several restaurants, including Starbucks. The eighth floor also has an exhibit of hand-made goods from Rwanda, with all profits donated to Rwandan relief efforts.











Times Square at night. Times Square is actually quite big and includes the Theatre District, as well as the famous building from which the Ball on New Year's Eve is dropped.









New York, New York, 'the city that never sleeps.'  Times Square, again, at night. You'll never be lonely in a crowd.

This photo is interesting. 6 young woman on a bicycle. The photographer was the guy who rode this bicycle-contraption around Times Square, stopping only to pose for photographs.

Anything for a buck, eh?
