Chapter 3

Make it work! Chapter 2

                   Night life can happens during a day as well as at night. After sun goes down city start breathing! It feels like it becomes alive and it turns into crowded and colorful disco ball.

                                     

 

 I had to take a picture with biggest Macys but constriction side a little bit ruined the view.

               When you think it's enough is enough happens something like this. For example, take my walk  in the Bryant Park. In the matter of half an hour huge camera pole been installed,  center of the park cleared up, lights on and shows up my favorite lady - Heidi Klum. I think she is even prettier in real life then on TV! After all is done Security guy pushes people away and Heidi disappear from the crowd.

New York trip in my words and with my camera. Chapter 1

           From the moment my  Sacramento plane lands at JFK I see difference. There are many reasons to love  New York and  not really. I love watching crowd walking and think about life. People walk on the streets, city never sleeps, at nights it's even busier then during day time. And day time is very crowded with tourists and office workers. I love craziness of the city and also quietness of suburbs! 

            First thing I  hear is different languages such as German, Spanish, Russian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Portuguese... You name it! What's bad is only in the central part of town smell of urine, garbage and dust. Streets full of garbage backs at nights.
            No public restrooms! And all businesses have a note saying - Restrooms are for customers only! It's so odd and embarrassing for New York. due to that it's not very pleasant thing to  witness homeless people peeing on the streets.
            What's good competing to Sacramento is everywhere Organic stores. People eat much healthier and exercise more. Even on the lunch breaks they try to play ping pong or go to a gym. But...I feel like every person in NY smokes cigarettes. In Sacramento it's opposite. everyone quits but prefer fast food place. Maybe New Yorkers have no time to eat but smoke due to having more stress? Interesting but it's not many fast food places. Mostly you see it's restaurants and small family own dinners.
             People dress nice! That's my favorite thing of all times! Doesn't matter men or women. It feels like everyone here is a model!

            During day can find so many cool things on the streets. Such as dog drawing with an arrow which points you...nowhere. But about five blocks away this I finally saw dogs. And not just dogs but absolutely adorable Maltis pappies for adoption. I was ready to take them all home with me! Apparently someone else adopted them earlier then I (like few years back). This is I'm talking about meeting Dog Walker  with two gorgeous dogs.

            

         

               Many other things to do you can find during a day...

I think an artist have a studio up there

Old taxi cab used as a delivery car for a restaurant

Any product is better when it looks cool

Interesting but people seat all over the city like this. I guess when you tired you don't really care

Love glass windows!

Giant canvas

You never guess but this not a museum but a clothing store!

Squirrels are absolutely fearless in the city and...friendly

I had to tight my dress with knots due to subway situation ( didn't want to become next Marilyn Monroe!)

         Battery Park. A lady doing yoga and surrounded only by ducks.
   

            Central park charms you with it's own beauty. It doesn't matter if it's summer or winter time. Here you can find bunch of girls in pijamas, take pictures with lake, see turtles swimming in there and realize that water is so dirty that you don't want to rent a boat. You can witness at least three weddings in an hour, get a ride with famous Central park carriage and when you get tired just to relax on the grass.

            

            In one day in NY you can see so many things like somewhere else won't cover in a year. I see military people everywhere, SWAT teams, undercover cops, artists carrying huge canvases, designer's photoshoots, artists in parks working on the new painting, make up school students with bodypainted/half naked models...And not to mention in every corner you can find a film crew.

              This many things I saw and did after almost two weeks here and about the same  to come! If you want to see true New York it's not necessary to look up.  Might miss something cool  right in front of you!
