The first impression of the city was a nice feeling, being in these places, almost family, so many times revised cinema, live in it even if for a few days, made me feel like the protagonist in "my" film.
Here, everything has a special charm, the Metro at Rockefeller Center, Brooklyn, the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway, Madison Square to finish the many fire escapes attached to buildings. For me it was always inevitable to associate them with scenes from various movies.
The Fifth Avenue or Fifth Avenue as they say in NYC is always crowded with cars and yellow taxis, the sidewalks full of people, but the "chaos" ordered not disturb. The eyes and nose are high to the sky and skyscrapers because everything around us is very high.
The city is young, modern and sleek - it's wonderful -
The first stop is Times Square, the neon billboards are huge, heavy traffic, I dare not think how this square will be a new year, I'll see to the TG.
Necessary the rest, unfortunately, very sad, at Ground Zero. In fact there is nothing to see here, but the feeling you get is indescribable. A memorial stone says he does not forget and a big tree is adorned with many small photos, the pain of that day is in the air, it is natural to whisper a prayer.
Can not miss the stage to the realm of finance Wall Street with the inevitable photo in front of the golden bull, a snack with hot dog and here we are in Battery Park. The great (not too) Statue of Liberty in front of us.
Walk along the coast with the sea and the statue that accompany us until the Brooklyn Bridge, then along the walk on the bridge and crossing it. The camera button is hot, Hugh continues to click, the different views of Manhattan from each side of the bridge deserve to be fixed.
And 'nice stroll in the natural setting of Central Park with squirrels fearful approach then run from tree to tree.
At Cafe Lalo (that of "You've Got Mail") on the Upper West Side of Manhattan you can enjoy a wonderful chocolate fondue with fresh fruit in place of lunch or dinner ..
The proximity of Chinatown and Little Italy is amazing, we go from many written in Chinese, with stores in all restaurants with the sign "Ravioli alla Bolognese" or "Napoli Pizza."
Short stop in front of the large triangular building, the Flatiron building, then climb the 86 floor of the Building. King Kong, the entrance is fake, but the thrill in seeing the panorama of the city from this height, it's all true.
The charm of the NY Public Library, (but think the movie "Ghostbusters") with its ancient halls, the amount of volume and contrast with the modern computer desks available on the many, you wonder.
In the bus bar "Empire Diner in Chelsea, you have to try the real American breakfast: eggs, ham or bacon with potatoes, mushrooms, beans and bread, very energetic and the American Museum of Natural History, unlike the film, everything is still, even and all but the largest dinosaur 'very interesting.
Last stop - Harlem - the church "The Abyssiniam Baptist Church for making gospel.
The setting and involvement are very solemn, the music and singing filled the church, people participate in singing and clapping hands in time, the atmosphere is festive and very heartfelt.
At the end, on the subway, surprise! Unable to enter the access stairs was closed with the infamous yellow tape - Crime Scene - New York, too.
We spent five intense days, trying to make the most of the time available was a taste of the "Big Apple" e. .......... appetite comes with eating.
