First of 4 days and 3 nights of NY

I have more than 300 pictures of my New York trip from my digital camera. I’ll be sharing the first half, but I won’t be posting here every single image. Just most from the set. Hrhr~ Hopefully you get to enjoy these. May these inspire you to go see New York for yourself or maybe somehow make you feel as if you’re there. 🙂

Outside the hotel we stayed at

On the first night after eating in a Pinoy restaurant and settling in the hotel, I looked for a nearby grocery or convenience store. Thank goodness that a block away of the hotel is The Food Emporium. There are so many things I want to try. I hate that I easily get fat.

Smaller than the regular-sized cans

Better-looking “sakto” bottles

Bazooka’s so old skool!

Coconut treat from Ferrero

If we have this here, this would be my lunch often.

Lotsa booze! I wish our grocery has lots of beer to choose from too.

Then pictures from the double-decker bus, Staten Island, and Ellis Island tours.

Macy’s

Huge Macy’s

I wasn’t able to get inside one VS store

Fuller Building (aka Flatiron Building)

I forgot that I saw Jamba Juice in NY too

There’s a reason behind this picture

It’s like there’s a renovation or construction in every block we passed by.

Must be fun to be there when it’s Black Friday.

This is how high we were

New building built beside the WTC site

St. Paul’s Chapel with a small graveyard

Inside the chapel

Left: Donated patches from police, fire, and rescue organizations

Right: Pictures and cards of the heroes and victims of the 9/11 incident

Kinda funny when birds are on top of such statues XD;

This is the plane I tried to take a picture of with the LC-A+ ^^;;;

I was on a boat! XD

Brown water is brown

The Statue of Liberty from afar

Staten Island dock

The Liberty Bike is one of the coolest bikes I’ve ever seen. The bike is made of iron and copper.

The closest I can get to Liberty

New York from Staten Island:

What’s in Ellis Island?

Ellis Island is part of New York and New Jersey. It was an immigrants station for many years. Eventually, it became an Immigrants Museum. Wikipedia has a list of notable immigrants who passed by that station.

All that walking and touring under the hot sun was starting to wear me out, so I headed back to the hotel. Since I took the double-decker bus on the way back (as I mentioned before, you can hop off and hop on those tour buses), there were still stops along the way. Therefore, more sightseeing.
