It is already very cold in the northern United States in November. However, just after a big exam, my brother and I decided to reward ourselves and twist our waists!
There are three airports in New York , Newark , JFK, and LaGuardia, and I can’t tell the difference myself. LaGuardia is closest to Manhattan but smaller, Newark to Manhattan It is also very convenient. Kennedy is generally used the most on international routes ~
landing in Newark , there is a Welcome to New York sign on the ground, and the bgm of Crazy Zoo has already sounded in my mind.
central Station
The first stop in New York is Grand Central Station.
The exterior of Central Station:
The information desk at the door is still open with a small clock everything is like a scene in a movie.
The roof of the central station is blue-green, with clouds floating on it and a constellation map.
Grand Central Station was still in operation, the timetable was displayed, and the station was crowded with people hurried past with suitcases.
After leaving the station, there were people coming and going on the street. New York at the end of November is very cold at night, but the whole city is lively and brightly lit.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
Because the weather was too cold, and my brother decided to shrink indoors the next day and went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
I like the New York yellow taxi After
entering the museum, first line up to buy tickets, students have a student price discount, and one ticket can enter for two days. After buying the ticket, you will get the map and audio guide ($5 rental fee), and there is a place to store bags and coats.
The audio guide is available in Chinese, but only a few of the more important exhibits are explained in Chinese, and most of them are in English.
After entering the museum, I have to sigh at its huge size. I have also visited a lot of large and small museums. Some of them take a day to visit, but the Metropolitan Museum feels that it takes at least two days to read it carefully.
Because there is not enough time in the back, I watched it so fast, it was a race against time, but it didn’t help, I only finished half of it in one day.
You can’t sense time in the museum, it’s already dark when you come out.
New York It’s amazing that there are so many street carts! They sell food and drink, just like roadside stalls in small towns in China. I was so hungry that my brother and I went out and bought a hot dog on the side of the road, and the grilled sausage inside actually tasted the taste of China.
No matter how cold the weather is, the Statue of Liberty is still a must see… To
see the Statue of Liberty, you need to take the subway to the south end, and then take a boat to liberty island. You can see the base, you can also climb to the top, and climb inside the Statue of Liberty….
But there is a bug here. What you see on the island is only the back of the goddess, and you can’t see the goddess when you reach the top. Because you are in her body…it’s also very weird…
so I hesitated with my brother what way to visit.
However, by accident, it did not give us the opportunity to choose difficult.
We took the subway Red Line and got off at South Ferry Station. As soon as we exited the station, we encountered many tour guides.
Stop and ask with my brother, there is a tour that takes you directly to the pier, and then takes a boat to visit the Statue of Liberty on the water, and also passes by the Brooklyn Bridge by the way. Compared to the island, the time is much shorter.
I chose that tour with my brother without hesitation, because the weather was really cold!
When we arrived at the pier, although it was the cold winter and off-season, we still waited for a while to get on the boat.
The boat has two levels, the upper level for sightseeing, and the lower level for shelter from the cold…
At first, I stood on it fearlessly, and the boat was stupid as soon as it opened. Really cold and cold. Fortunately the weather is fine.
About half an hour by boat, you will see the Statue of Liberty!
Holding the torch high, I was still a little excited to see it, just like when I was a child when I just saw Tiananmen~
It’s freezing cold, I don’t want to expose an inch of my skin, and I don’t want to stay for a second.
I tried taking a selfie with my brother on the boat, and I gave up after taking one. My face and hands were frozen red. I couldn’t open my eyes because of the light, so I took a random picture and went back to the lower cabin to be a tortoise. However, after looking at the photo, I found that there was no goddess in the photo…
If everyone also chooses to take a boat on the water For the tour, it is recommended that you go to the first cabin at the beginning, and then go to the second floor when you reach the goddess statue, because the time spent near the goddess statue is still quite long, enough to take pictures. Don’t worry like my brother and I won’t be able to occupy the best position on the second floor, foolishly spending half an hour in the wind and sun on it, and there is no seat after going down…
central Park
Central Park is also a landmark in New York.
The Central Park in the American TV series is the best place for New Yorkers to walk their dogs and jog.
But because the weather was too cold, I had to choose the most iconic landmarks to check in.
John Lennon’s wife Lisa Ono bought a strawberry field in his memory.
In the Central Park in winter, the trees are no longer lush and leafy, and the scenery in summer must be beautiful.
Because the weather was too cold, I gave up the idea of going to the Central Park Zoo, and I walked along Fifth Avenue next to the park, and I could still hear the sounds of animals faintly.
As Black Friday is approaching, Fifth Avenue is full of lights, and people are shopping on the road.
Rockefeller Center
If you want to see the night view in New York, you must look at the city view, and many people will think of the Empire State Building.
However, there will also be a bug in the Empire State Building, that is, when you look at the night view of the Empire State Building, you can’t see the Empire State Building itself…
Rockefeller Center is built not far from the Empire State Building, and the top of the 67-70th floor of the boulder can overlook the whole Manhattan night view, you need to book tickets on the website in advance. The time for the summit is divided into different periods. My brother and I chose to climb to the summit around 4:30 in the afternoon to watch the sunset.
There is a huge Christmas tree in front of the center, which is the largest and most iconic Christmas tree in New York, and it has not been decorated yet.
There are also many places to eat and shops on the basement level of Rockefeller Center. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the top of the rock sign pointing to the elevator.
Later, the sky became darker and darker, and there was a feeling of the beginning of the lanterns.
There is an exit on the top floor to go to the bleachers. Although it is cold, the view is wider. It is really a 360-degree view, side by side with the Empire State Building.
It was completely dark coming down from Rockefeller Center.
Time Square
It was already past eight o’clock when I took the subway to Times Square, and the street was still lively. Huge electronic screens and neon lights all over the street.
Walking on the road, you may see people who have become superheroes 🦸🏻♂️ holding you for a photo, and they want to give money! If you don’t want to be stopped, try not to eye contact them hh
This is where everyone counts down to New Year’s Eve every year.
Moma
Moma is the abbreviation of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.There are Van Gogh’s starry night, and Monet’s water lilies, which are the largest!
The museum is not big, with only four floors. The area is not very large, and there is a place to store clothes and bags after purchasing tickets.
There is a small garden on the first floor, and you can see the iconic roses.
Compared with the water lilies seen in Boston and the Chicago Art Museum before, it is simply a super wide-angle.
The very famous staircase design in the museum.
Oversized glass, you can only see the street view of New York outside the window.
The doll of Yayoi Kusama seen in the shopping store is very cute. The time and date of the opening and closing of moma are written on the ticket at the back!
I only stayed in New York for three or four days. Because of the Black Friday, I accidentally turned into a trip that was delayed by shopping.
It’s a pity that you can’t enter the library, so let’s take a note of the gate at the door.
