One of the days (or two of them, actually) we decided to walk over Brooklyn Bridge (in 37 degrees c heat, may I add), to see this really beautiful and very popular bridge. So gorgeous to see New York in the background. On the picture above, you can even see the new World Trade Center just behind the bridge. I do want to add, that it’s way prettier when it’s dark (what isn’t in New York? Imagine how much electricity this city uses every night! Woah!) – Just look at the picture below. 

En af dagene (Eller, faktisk to af dem) bestemte vi os for at gå over Brooklyn Bridge (i 37 graders varme, skal der lige tilføjes), for at se denne smukke og meget populære bro. Så smukt at se New York i baggrunden. På billedet ovenover, kan I endda se det nye World Trade Center lige bag ved broen. Jeg vil lige tilføje, at det er meget smukkere når det er mørkt (Men hvad er det i New York? Forestil jer lige alt det strøm den by bruger hver nat! Wow!) – Se bare på billedet nedenunder.

To visit the Statue of Liberty is another must-do when visiting New York for the first time, and as we had already bought City Passes from home which included something called Statue Cruises, so we took this boat towards Liberty Island and Ellis Island. We decided not to get off at Ellis Island though, and just enjoy the lovely fresh air on top of the boat instead. We did get off at Liberty Island to watch the Statue of Liberty up close though, and we sat down to enjoy some Liberty Island fries before catching the next boat again! Also, look at the beautiful New York skyline. Wow. Statue Cruises can be found near Battery Park. 

Selvfølgelig skal man også besøge Frihedsgudinden når man er i New York for første gang, og i det vi allerede havde købt City Pass hjemmefra, hvor der var en billet med til noget der hedder “Statue Cruises”, så tog vi denne båd til Liberty Island og Ellis Island. Vi bestemte os dog for ikke at stige af på Ellis Island, og istedet bare nyde den friske luft på bådens øverste deck. Vi hoppede dog af på Liberty Island for at se Frihedsgudinden tættere på, og derefter sætte os ned for at nyde nogle Liberty Island pomfritter inden vi tog den næste båd tilbage igen! Udover det, så set lige New York’s smukke skyline. Wow. Statue Cruises kan findes ved Battery Park.

Of course we had to visit New York Public Library when we were on 5th Avenue, and so we did! Mostly because of how gorgeous a piece of work the Stephen A. Schwarzman building is. So beautiful to just walk around in this amazing building – Also, it’s completely free to go in there AND they have restrooms! (Yes, it’s actually quite hard to find restrooms around New York City). The library can be found on 5th Avenue at 42nd Street.

Selvfølgelig skulle vi besøge New York Public Library da vi var på 5th Avenue, og det gjorde vi så! Mest fordi Stephen A. Schwarzman bygningen er så fantastisk flot. Det var så smukt bare at gå rundt og kigge i denne flotte bygning – Og udover det, så er det fuldstændig gratis at  gå ind OG så har de toiletter! (Ja, det er faktisk ret svært at finde toiletter rundt omkring i New York City..) Biblioteket kan findes på 5th Avenue ved 42nd Street.
