Wife and I have been taking subway and walking around. These buses seem to be a pain and with on and off rain we see lots of wet folks. Street sales guys are relentless.
Today is Brooklyn Bridge walk. Tomorrow is Top of Empire State building and then tour Statue of Liberty. I have to say it's been fun showing my wife around.
NY trip going well. Wife having a great time sight seeing

Of course I am REALLY enjoying it. Feels good to be back in a "Real" bar. I am thankful however they do not have one like they do here in Thailand because the temptation to hang in the place would be brutal.

Walked about 3.5 miles to WTC and ground zero.
Great thread and wonderful pictures.
Cool pictures. Have a great trip.
Hey Thanks. Just cruising around. I am not a "Tourist" guy so this has been....well...Challenging a bit. Everywhere I have traveled in the world I wing it..With my wife that just doesn't work. She needs a plan and wants to hit all the "Top" places to see. I prefer off the beaten path. It's like my pictures taking. I do not take selfies and take odd pictures. I try and post real life stuff.

Example...Was walking back to hotel. NYPD rolls up in a van and car with sirens wailing and hopped out in a hurry. Typical big city life. It's not all about the tourist spots. LOL...
Good stuff, JPPR2.

All those screens are HD and looked damn good. I'd love to have one that would fill a wall in my house.

There were no shortages of emergency services be out and about. Sirens are always screaming.

With all the beauty and history comes an ugly side. they put out garbage on sidewalks for pick up and some smells horrific. NY has no land for garbage so they put it all on barges and tow it out to the ocean and dump it all.

Oh yeah. should be a fun ride outta here. Our flight leaves the day this bad boy arrives to pummel the east coast. While at this time it is not on a direct path to NY, it's only a bit south of it and it should do a lot of flooding.
Took walk to Central Park.

Nice NY walk.
I couldn't help but to notice, particularly over the last page, that the vast majority of people in your pictures are Caucasian.
Hardly a black person in sight.
Is New York a predominately white person city?
It depends what area^ but seem to recall it's well mixed with all types. Most of the dicey areas have been gentrified.
I spent some time in Denver and noted apart from some Hispanic looking people the main city was full of white people.
I was also told there was an area with predominately black people which was considered a no-go zone for Caucasians.
I still find this situation quite alarming.
Great pics but on this point you are incorrect. They stopped doing this over twenty years ago.

I think it has to do with the fact that he is in a lot of touristy locations. NYC is one of the most diverse cities in the world.
Surely not still in this day and age.Quote:

Great pics. You are sure doing your vacation up right.
Top stuff J. Cheers.
That is spot on. Being midtown is loaded with tourists coupled with the areas we walked around were the business folks which seemed predominantly white. To note most non white folks were running various food stands and were manning the Starbucks at every corner along with the endless gift stores.
