Bravo. As a New Yorker I'm very impressed at how well you got to know the city. And these are only the pictures you posted on the forum so I'm sure there are a lot more of other places in the city as well.

Awesome pictures. It's like you jumped on the back of a pigeon and took pictures along the way because you covered just about everything.
But what the hell is up with the weirdo photo bombing every picture with his fist, ruined every shot.












Got a kick out looking at the GMT all over the place. You really saw the sights.
I bet you were tired after this so called vacation, but it's a good tired.

Totally agree as an ex-New Yorker also.

Thanks ! Not my first time in NY city, so I knew what to check about...
Anyway, I really enjoyed the High Line, something I had not seen before.
It makes you visit Chelsea in a different and very nice way.
;)

LOL ! I was on the way back to Manhattan, so wrong side for taking pictures. Therefore, I switched, but my wife was really afraid of me losing my GMT in the see... LOL

What, no South Street Seaport? No matter, still a wreck from Sandy. Well done, you captured the essence of many a neighborhood in more than one borough!
