I even swam in the see. And I want to go again when I will be there in April. Because the first time I didnt stop along the way there and Ive read in Lonely Planet that there are interesting neighbourhoods along the way. Yeah, I ve been to Coney Island once in the summer.

New York is great for just walking around aimlessly. One of the best places to walk around is Lower East Side (around Orchard Street), in the evenings it has a sort of uncanny but still lovely atmosphere, not to mention all the vintage shops. Also, have you ever been to Coney Island? If not, you definitely should go. It takes about 2 hours to get there by subway (it's the last stop of F, Q and some other trains). For the last half an hour you can hear Russian only. Coney Island really spoke to me. To me, it's "the end of the world". I still have the sea shells I collected there when the wind was so strong my hands almost froze.

If were in NYC for 24 hours I would (if it would be my first time in NYC): sit on Times Square, walk around midtown, watch sunset on Brookly Heights, go to Guggenheim museum (not in the museum, just to see it from the outside), walk around the south part of Central Park and that would probably be that. Now that I know NYC pretty well I would: sit on Times Square, go to Guggenheim, spend some time on Union Square, walk accross Brooklyn Bridge, have a beer with my friends from NYC, walk aroun Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, eat banana puding from Magnolia Bakery and just enjoy spending time in the parks with my boyfriend:-) I agree Paris cant compare with NYC (Ive just been there again the past wekend) but for me it holds a close second place.

I once actually did have a dream I was in NYC for 24 hours and of course it turned into a nightmare because the drive to and from JFK airport is not short so I lost time. Not to mention for some weird reason I also needed to fit in a visit to Roosevelt Island (where I lived in 2008). :D Now you got me thinking ... what would I *really* do if I were in NYC for one day?

Prvič sem bila dva meseca in pol, oktobra pa bom šla samo za kakšen teden, tako da se mi niti sanja ne, kakšne bodo "posledice". Bom pa seveda poročala :) Ja, grem tako zase.

Jaz bom kmalu tam tretjič (vsako leto 1x) in drugič je bilo drugače kot prvič, pa s tem ne mislim slabše. No mogoče malenkost, ker sem že vedela kaj lahko pričakujem in nisem bila več tako šorikana/presenečena/navdušena nad prvim vtisom. Greš na dopust ali kaj drugega?
