Memory Month continues and our USA journey brings us to the next couple of days.
After Montauk, we drove the length of Long Island into New York City, pausing for coffee in The Hamptons en route. Loved driving in New York, so easy to navigate with its grid system. Left the car then and walked the city for a few days. Stayed in a hotel on Times Square and really enjoyed the night sights as well as the daytime views and all the buzz of the city. It was the first time in the city for me and the Young Fella, Hubby had been many years before.
Ah, NY, NY, so good ...! You've just got to love it. I've visited several times now, but the first time I was quite nervous about being in the 'big city'! It must have been around 1989, and I remember it being 'just like the movies' with the yellow taxis and the steam coming out of the 'sidewalks'. I was overwhelmed by it all.
I agree that the grid system makes navigation easy, but it’s not a place I’d want to drive! Have visited twice & I find it a bit scary, but fascinating at the same time ( feel the same about London really). Lots of vibrant colours in this shot.
