When we woke up on the last day of our fabulous New York trip, the sun was once again out and it looked like it hadn’t snowed all the much overnight. There was a little layer covering some sidewalks – lots were already cleared -, but other than that, we didn’t have any disadvantages of the evening/… Continue reading NY: Westvillage – MOMA – Central Park

NY: American Museum of Natural History – Jackson Heights
The day we arrived in New York, our taxi driver mentioned that Saturday and Sunday there was going to be another huge snow storm, so we had planned to do most of the inside stuff those days. But fortunately, the sun still hadn’t left us. As you probably read in my last post, Saturday was… Continue reading NY: American Museum of Natural History – Jackson Heights
NY: Top of the Rock – around Fifth Av – MET
On the morning of our fourth day in the great city of New York, we headed immediately for the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center. Unfortunately, because of falling ice from the top of the building, we couldn’t go all the way up the 360° Observation Deck. We could see the entire view from inside on the… Continue reading NY: Top of the Rock – around Fifth Av – MET
NY: Central Park – Sighseeing Cruise – Highline – Soho & Westvillage
The third day of our adventures in New York, we first headed to Central Park. With the sun once again out, the park looked even more magical than the first evening we went there.

When we arrived on Wednesday evening, it was really cloudy because of… Continue reading First impressions of The Big Apple
Practical New York
As I mentioned a few weeks ago, I’ve started my year the best way possible; with a spontaneous trip to ‘The big Apple’ aka New York. And it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Considering that my post about my one day-trip to Amsterdam was already quite lengthy, I’ve decided to split my overview of… Continue reading Practical New York
New York Bound!
To say I’ve started my year with a bang, would be the understatement of the century. We were only four days into the New Year, and I had already booked a trip to the USA, and more specifically; The Big Apple. That’s a pretty big bang in my opinion. Only a few hours after seeing an… Continue reading New York Bound!
