I recently decided to go New York City for a mini vacation/getaway/work on photography/just any reason I could think of to take a break really. I wanted to pack as much in as possible while I was there without feeling over loaded. While I intended to write a much more in-depth version of this post, I was pretty beat on Sunday when I got back to Chicago and sleep was calling my name (homework might have been calling too, but I sent it to voice mail). Here is an abbreviated version of my four days in NYC: Places to goFlatiron // Empire State Building // Chrysler Building Day 1 Flatiron Empire State Building Rockefeller Grand Central Station Chrysler Building Times Square Manhattan Bridge from Washington St // Brooklyn Bridge // SoHo Day 2 Brooklyn Cranberry St Washington St (DUMBO) Views of the Manhattan Bridge Brooklyn Bridge Soho Shopping Greenwich Brownstone Photos W 10th St (Between 5th & 6th) W 8th St (Between 5th & 6th) Chealsea Melt Shop Black Top Rockefeller Top of the Rock (Reservation online & slip the line $32) or SixtyFive Bar *Photo Tip: Go a about 45 minutes to an hour before sunset to any observation deck to watch the sky change before, during, and after the sunset.
