Would you like to go to New York? I would like to, and I did not not confused by the fact that I do not like hackneyed places and popular destinations. Probably because the city is really very cinematic and almost every street he participated in the shooting of a film, and therefore, very cool dip in the childhood memories of such films as Home Alone and others.

New York met hideous weather - the rain was the wind, but I have long been accustomed to such weather events and knew that everything will be ok, even if gismeteo in this city shows that the whole week will rain. Yes, even in this disgusting weather, the city looks lively and interesting, which only cost the ubiquitous taxis and American trucks that left the streets of exactly 90 movies.

Hotels in New York are very expensive, and since I have been here for very little time, it took the hotel Pennsylvania hotel, which was located across from Madison Square Garden. In the match I did not get, because had no time, and I do not like. The hotel looks grand, and is with the old building and looks like a hotel from the movie 1407. The cheapest rooms are still out very expensive, but they are similar to the close of the kennel cheap hotel in any other city.

The rain did not become an obstacle, and I immediately moved to Times Square, the benefit I lived in the middle and I just had to go out and go right down the street. Times Square is visible in the distance. The going was not long, but, frankly, it would be desirable for such streets go on and on ... The city is seething: thousands of tourists, any pretty girl, the typical American boys.

[My new travel-video]

So, about 8 am, the center of Times Square is already filled with tourists, everywhere some dvizhuha. The first time I saw the actual shooting of the morning newscast "Good Morning America", impressed. Around skhemok a crowd of tourists with cameras.

While rain is not over, it will be bleak landscapes of Central Park. The park is almost unremarkable, but it is one of the few green spaces in New York. At first, it seemed that in the park, under the trees, have to sit the students with books, well, pop some close to this pattern of films about American colleges, but it turned out that it is not so: the park completely different and does not cling, probably because in the rain there is nothing to do.

In the city a lot of advertising, and it is not off-putting, it is very harmonious.

A typical pattern for the streets of the city. From sewage constantly steams like Godzilla somewhere :) There are so many places, not just on every main street and it adds to the atmosphere as a result of cinematic city.

The central park is nothing special, it is just one such green and a large Manhattan. This is the same body of water where the movie Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Harry Marvin skating and decided to rob the toy shop.

So far it seemed the main building in New York - Empire Building Cteyt (The Empire State Building). Believe me, there is also nothing special, and frankly, it does not look like the tallest building, the title is obtained, when New York is still under construction and it could be seen from every angle, and now in New York, so many skyscrapers, it is simply lost in the background and size of the building is only visible on the panorama of the city from afar.

The new building of the World Trade Center. Finally, it is not completed, but now looks very good and, as the old building is easily recognizable from afar. Almost on every corner there are signs at the memorial to September 11, 2001, when, as a result of terrorist attack, were destroyed two skyscrapers.

Nearby is a memorial to the September 11, 2001. Around the building there is a big movement and even pedestrian, very difficult. To visit this place, you need to buy a free ticket) is not very far from this place, in the museum, "September 11".

Tickets are valid for free, but if you donate $ 10 you will be given a firm white bracelet with blue inscription - 9/11 Memorial and most people t

Downtown (Downtown) - the lower tip of Manhattan. Very nice place, here I want to go out and enjoy life. The sun, skyscrapers and somehow everything is so bright that you enjoy every minute. In my opinion, this is the only place that I remember from the trip, despite the objects such as the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State Building. Yes, there are places in many cities in the world, but it is important, as usual - the first visit you.

Here, far away, there is the famous Brooklyn Bridge. The flow of people is very high, which creates problems for cyclists - the transition zone divides the road with bicycle road and people are not always responsible for this division, and then getting out of the pedestrian zone. Do not get out of her difficult - imagine that you go as a herd in a tremendous line and next to you free band - who will not stand here?

Statue of Liberty in the distance seemed. This small!

To get to the Status of Liberty, you need to take the metro to Long Island, buy a ticket for a boat excursion. If you want to get to the observation deck, you need to advance (one month) to book your ticket and you will group on selected routes on the island would be taken on this very site. The statue is not as high, and an observation deck is not so high, why bother with a ticket I did not, all the more so I decided to fly here for 2 days prior to departure.

Photo does not show, but it looks very ominous, if there are very few people and the sun has not yet illuminate any part of the statue.

Immediately it seems that there are shootings of the film "The Day After Tomorrow" or some other disaster movies and on the verge, the statue fell on its side.

And this is a view from the top of the Empire State Building. Again a very long queue, which has no end.

The most unpleasant thing - walk in the queue until the next corner where all turns, and see the long queue for another corner. Oh. patience...

Here and there negros constantly organize dance shows. As a rule - quite niochem. People stand and look, and after the "dancers" are asked to "post but who can" run up quickly and all the dancers are starting all over again.

Here is such an entrance to the subway. Letters refer to the metro line. At first, not very familiar, but then you get used and already know how everything is organized.

In my opinion, in Moscow subway better and more logical because from any point you get into any other, but here you need to get to the desired branch and sometimes move from branch to branch in the metro problematic.

That the inside of the hotel Plaza Hotel, where stay Kevin McAllister. This frame was also in the film, there still appeared in the frame Donald Trump.

And here is the bridge where Kevin met a woman in blue. Eh, still nice to remember those moments of childhood. Do not think that I am such a fan of the movie Home Alone, it represents just a cool movie on videotape from childhood.

And here is the famous Brighton Beach. The atmosphere is tense, immediately asked the question - "Do I love Putin?". I answered the truth, but do not like it here.

On the waterfront are many grandparents, some of them are listening to songs of Russian and Ukrainian pop. (I was diagnosed Vitali Leontiev).

Russian-speakers in the streets a lot, and that Russian girls :) How do they know? - They just walked down the street and talking loudly in Russian.

Building Rockefeller Center. The buildings were built on the money of the Rockefeller family in the 1930s. According to the movie Home Alone 2, here, at the end of the film, Kevin's mom found him near a Christmas tree.

Few pictures of Madame Tussauds museum. Too bad that the eyes of the Statue of Liberty all fakes are different. In the real statue are more poignant, though empty.

New York, a great city! Like it!

You know, we all once wanted to go abroad, each of us had a definite goal to visit a country. In my life there were a lot of interesting cities. But she decided to give her preferences at the first first stage of my journey to a city that New York never sleeps. This city is so big that it even has a Russian district. After reading a huge amount of information about New York, I decided to go to this wonderful city. The trip was comfortable and no problem. Every minute I think about the fact that I will visit various places and attractions that this amazing city has. And finally, my foot stepped into this monastery. The first thing that catches your eye is the concern and activity of people. Everyone is in good spirits, everyone is in a hurry somewhere. It is immediately clear that the city is filled with life and every person who lives here picks up the pace of the city and strive to achieve something. I also noticed huge buildings, to the skies, which amaze with their grandeur and scale. I always wanted to visit Brighton Beach, a beach that is endowed with brightly golden sand. Although, when I came to the beach, I saw a huge number of people and crazy surfers who tried to ride unstoppable waves. It all looked energetic and positive. The next step was the Statue of Liberty, a massive statue that greets all people. When I went to the very top, I realized that here I can see all the greatness of the city of New York. In general, in this city there are a lot of good attractions that help to imbue with history. Every morning, I got up at 5:00 in the morning to go for a walk in Central Park in New York. This fabulous corner personified tranquility and relaxation. When I looked around, I saw people reading books right on the grass. Someone played, someone ran. I would say that this is the heart of the city of New York. Here you can have a good time with relatives and relatives. In general, I received a sea of emotions from this trip. Here I spent seven fabulous days. Unfortunately this is not so much but still I got tremendous emotions from the trip. In general, I plan to come here again, but not alone, but with my best friends. The city is very fond of tourists and here you can find people with common interests, and this is always the main thing in our life. New York is a really powerful city.

He dreamed of visiting the United States for several years, and when he finally had the opportunity to go to a conference in New York, he did everything in his power so that the choice of bosses would stop at me. After our realities, the city is striking in its scope. The center is very crowded and noisy, moreover, when you constantly move between huge skyscrapers, you get the impression that you are in a maze from which there is simply no way out. Honestly, for me this is not a very comfortable feeling, but by the end of the third day I began to notice that I was starting to get used to it.
On the first day I decided to visit Central Park in the evening and was unpleasantly surprised by the incredible number of homeless people. Most of them, of course, behaved quietly and did not cause concern, but several people were clearly aggressive and, out of harm's way, had to cross to the other side of the alley. The territory of the park is enormous, but most of it is “landing” in our opinion.
On the second day, I decided to go to the Statue of Liberty. Impressions also remained quite mixed. On the one hand, this is certainly a very cult place, and on the other hand, from the point of view of architecture, it is not unusual. There were strong feelings with the Motherland in Kiev, only the Ukrainian version is not so publicized. I had the good fortune to visit Brazil, so the statue of Christ the Savior over Rio really makes a monumental impression. And here so, I visited and it is good, it can be said noted.
From the third to the fifth day, he was not purposefully moving forward anywhere, and he had to work until late in the evening, so there was not much time left for tourism. But it was possible to communicate very closely with the local population. And for me personally, people are America's biggest plus. Incredibly responsive, kind, cultured and educated. The specialists who led the seminar are really real professionals in their field. All the information received during that week is of practical value, and not like ours, when such events are collected solely with the aim of being on an extra vacation. On the penultimate day, I met one of the lecturers and was invited to a family dinner. Everything is very hospitable, tasty and sincere.
So in my opinion it’s worth a visit to this city. Even if you, like me, are not inspired by the architecture of New York, you can take a lot of good from the local population. We really have something to learn from them.

I have been to New York twice. To say that this is a huge city is to say nothing. One of the largest megacities in the world, which is concentrated just a huge number of attractions. The first time in New York I was a week. If you think that this is enough to fully explore this city, then I will disappoint you. This week it took me only to look at standard attractions - Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Central Park and so on. I looked, in general, only the most basic and was not completely satisfied. I know perfectly well that the soul of any city lies far from tourist places and in order to get to know the city better, you need to visit areas in which tourists rarely appear.

The next time I deliberately flew to New York for ten days to get to know the city and its inhabitants, and not to visit standard tourist places. And you know, that was really cool. Walk in Queens in the middle of the night? This was done, although it was risky, since this area of the city cannot boast of an ideal attitude to tourists, especially when they walk around the area at night. :) Finding the nooks of Brooklyn is done. Take a walk in the suburbs of New York and get to know the locals who do not consider themselves residents of the metropolis and say that they are completely different. :) I want to say that I received more emotions from the second trip. Firstly, in these areas almost no crowds of tourists. Yes, there are tourists, but they are few and they behave here adequately and calmly. Secondly, I managed to get to know the real New York. Yes, this is a city of opportunities, but even there are enough poor people who have a hard time here. Well, and third, and most important: I realized that real New York is not tons of concrete, and not dozens of skyscrapers, real New York in people, in their freedom. Nobody cares about public opinion here. Because people go in the clothes they want. They dye their hair in multi-colored colors, wear sneakers of different colors, and no one pays any attention to this. It seems to me that this is the main advantage of this city. Well, the number of nationalities here is simply amazing. Probably, all the nationalities of the world are represented in this city.

In general, New York is definitely a cool city that you want to return to. And I will definitely come back here in the near future and will continue to get acquainted with this metropolis.

My wife and I traveled to the cities of America and of course could not call in such a big city as New York. A magnificent city, a lot of interesting things, in short hung for 4 days. We traveled almost everywhere. Immediately visited the central park in New York. Various free performances and concerts are constantly held here, which are given by street artists, groups that have long made a name for themselves. It’s very beautiful, it’s so clean everywhere, live music everywhere, and of course there are a lot of tourists. Then they walked over the Brooklyn Bridge. Very beautiful surroundings can be seen from it, and the height is not for the faint of heart, of course.
To visit New York and not look at the world-famous Times Square ?! We wouldn’t forgive ourselves for this. Strolling, here you can sit on the Internet with free Wi-Fi. At the box office, they bought tickets for an entertainment show, where they probably hung for two hours. There are a lot of emotions in common, so many interesting things that you can’t immediately think of where to go. It’s a pity that they didn’t go to the bull on Walt Street, famous for all the films. They say that if you touch him, then you will improve your financial situation in the near future. Well, nothing, like the next time we'll go.

The author got a very cool photo story about a trip to New York. With great pleasure I read everything from beginning to end. New York is a huge, business metropolis where everyone is constantly in a hurry. My father went there 6 years ago and he also has a lot of photos from the trip. There are photos that are very similar to the author’s photo, for example, Central Park and Manhattan, I see that practically nothing has changed. I myself have not had the opportunity to visit this city, but I would very much like to. In my opinion, this is really a magical, vibrant, cinematic city, and those who come from the 90s should at least visit there at least once and see in real life all these famous beauties that are so often shown to us in popular films. By the way, with regard to the Statue of Liberty, my father told me that compared to the skyscrapers located near it, it actually looks quite modest and not as large as it shows on the TV screen. He also told me that at night it is simply unrealistically beautiful, everything shines with different lights, crowds of people around, a lot of entertainment, in short, civilization. I was impressed by absolutely all the photos of the author, they convey the atmosphere of this metropolis very realistically. I really hope that I will visit there someday.

I always wanted to go abroad, but there was no possibility, That finances did not allow, then simply there was no one to go with. My friend is engaged in tourism, offered to go to New York at his expense, to walk, to see the sights of the city, etc., in general, he is an outdoor enthusiast. The flight was long, morally tired, we left the airport and then it started ... a very noisy city, everything is so crowded, there are a lot of people walking in the streets, many tourists from Russia, Ukraine were met, because our people cannot be recognized by manners)
The first cases got to the statue of liberty. Yes, of course, a very impressive building, on TV not that. Around the water, the harbor is certainly beautiful, you can not argue. After that, we wandered around museums, institutions and other things, and didn’t see anything of this beyond interesting, except for sky-high skyscrapers that look really cool.
As a result, I can say that New York is an ordinary city, very noisy, from which you get tired very quickly. If a person lives at home in a provincial town, he will not like it at all, as if one should get used to such an atmosphere. And yet, the city is very attached to the English language, which practically cuts you off from the slightest communication with the population.

Indeed, New York is a city about which, personally, I have a double opinion. It is a city of contrast. Everything is mixed here, luxury and poverty, beauty and bad taste, metal and greens. Here, you just have to turn off the main streets and you can get into the poverty area. Here are adjacent buildings, which can be called a work of architectural art and ugly buildings. Here, amidst metal and glass, there are beautiful squares and parks, lawns and lakes, where everyone has a rest, from local residents to visiting tourists. This, probably, is the beauty and originality of New York. In many ways, it is similar to all other cities in the United States, but at the same time it has its own, unique face. This city is in a hurry somewhere all the time, everything is moving here and there is no peace day or night. It is believed that people here do not rest at all.
The city is beautiful in sunny and clear weather, but as soon as the weather changes to cloudy, the city instantly becomes gray and dull. But it is in the afternoon. At night, New York is beautiful in any weather. At night there is a kingdom of lights and luminous advertising, which at every step invites you to a cafe or shop, club or entertainment center. This city is what I remember.

I’m watching your post and understand how close it is to me. After all, I was in New York several years ago. And all that you have here in the pictures is actually so. This is a huge metropolis where everyone is in a hurry. A lot of people and in the center just can’t move quietly. But it’s a very beautiful city. Large-scale buildings, the first time you see it, even the spirit freezes from what you saw, just when you have never seen such a thing, then this sensation cannot be conveyed so easily. He must be survived. It is very beautiful in New York at night, everything glows everywhere, the street is very bright and there are always a lot of people. And a lot of cafes, almost on every corner. Generally worth a visit there. Just see how people live here and feel this atmosphere. Walk along the streets where the films were shot. Personally, I walked around the park where they shot "Home Alone 2" it was very cool. It’s also worth going to the Empire State Building. After all, this is one of the main attractions of the city. On the top floor, a gorgeous view of the city opens. The whole city is as if in the palm of your hand. Very nice. It’s cool to take a walk and break away in this city, but I wouldn’t like to live here, not my city in spirit, but I’m used to quieter cities. And here there is already too much movement.
04/04/2020 13:04

I completely agree with you, all this of course is very tempting and promising. Well, I would like to pay special attention to promoting my business in New York. After all, not everyone goes there to relax, have a wonderful time or just shop. Nevertheless, this is a city that opens up great prospects for any career start, whether you are a car repairman or a simple office “cover”. This is a city that does not stand still, but attracts people to itself and opens before them opportunities, opportunities that not every city can provide. I do not argue that a person with a head on his shoulders can succeed anywhere and anytime, but as for New York, there’s a different story. For example, the story of my classmate, it has been ten years since we were at the same desk, he constantly wrote off to me and he was not interested in the school curriculum. He was attracted by a passion for travel and something unknown. Well, he achieved what he wanted, went to New York, found his wife there, I won’t say that he achieved everything himself, they helped him. But the fact is, now this double, sits in the leather chair of the head and in his pocket of shares for half a lemon. He doesn’t deny himself anything, drives an expensive sports car, lives in VIP apartments and the like.

I completely agree that the city is just cinematic, I think every Russian child from the nineties would want to be in New York, because for us it is a piece of childhood and fairy tales from popular American films. We all know this city, even if we have never been to it. For me, for example, the first association - with the film "Leon", if I am not mistaken, at the end of the film Matilda bury Leon's ficus just in Central Park.
By the way, about the park - I think there was nobody there at the time of your visit because of the rain, and in sunny weather there just did not get crowded because of those who wanted to sit with sandwiches and books.
She noticed that the American flag is found almost everywhere in photographs of New York streets - the flags themselves hang on the signs of his image, etc. Perhaps this also helps to create the image of the city. In Russia, this distribution of our tricolor has never been seen anywhere else.
For some reason, it seems to me that if you live in New York, you quickly get used to everything you see around you and live your own affairs and problems, and the feeling of a fairy tale disappears. Therefore, I would not want to live here, but to go once and go along a route similar to yours - I hope it will work out one day.

New York has always been a dream for me. I wanted to visit these stone jungles, just to visit one of the largest megacities in the world and make up my mind about it. I managed to visit it a year ago during a tour of the USA. It is rightly said that New York is not the United States, but a separate and very contrasting city. If everything shines in Manhattan and is very clean all around, despite the concentration of tourists, then the Bronx or Queens is very different from the central areas of the metropolis. Especially in the evening, when there are quite suspicious people on the streets of these areas. True, in these areas I visited once and I had no problems there, but it feels like a completely different New York. In the center of the city everything is fine - a sea of restaurants, cafes, various exhibitions, museums at every turn. We had a very nice time with friends, familiarizing ourselves with the history of the city, the construction of skyscrapers, and with people who live in New York. We met with the indigenous resident of the city of Sofia, she told us a lot of interesting things about life, about the problems of the metropolis, and that a lot of time is spent on moving from one district to another. In general, it was interesting to visit this city, but the impressions about it are both pleasant and not very.

New York was for many years my most cherished dream. I was going to go to this beautiful city for a very long time, and finally this year I did it. Frankly, I did not overestimate the emotions that I thought to get there. With a good knowledge of English, I had booked an apartment in New York before departure. I knew where and why I was going. Briefly go over the main points. The city is dirty in places, in the subway in the evening it’s better not to meddle at all, gangs of Afro-Americans organize parties there. I recently flew in, and I’ll say frankly - autumn in New York is simply gorgeous, especially in central park. You get the feeling when you look at tall buildings that you are just a grain of sand, locals say that the city is more beautiful in spring and summer, and now gray days and heavy rains have begun. The New York airport is crowded with people, everyone flies somewhere, this is not our mentality, the Americans firmly believe that they are more likely to survive traveling long distances on an airplane, especially since the price of the cheapest ticket is not a luxury for a Native American. The policemen struck, they really respect them, and as we used to call our garbage, the American law enforcement agencies will give practically everyone a light according to the law, and they will not close their eyes to incomprehensible situations, they will stop asking if everything is in order, they will learn how to call and wish good luck. There are a lot of tourists, and everyone goes with a good mood and a sea of experience. Local residents try not to live in the city center, these are business centers, but they have houses on Long Island, where it is much quieter and more comfortable. I looked at the photos and again burst into nostalgia, I love the United States, New York is a great city, I wish everyone to visit and see, feel a completely different mentality.

To visit New York is my dream for 5 years. I don’t know why, but, for some time earlier, it seemed to me that New York was a boring city. Perhaps I thought so, because I too often saw this city in American films and, as they say, "ate it" in full. But, to see him in detectives and comedies is one thing, quite another - to be in it. When I look at the pictures of this photo essay, I understand that I was very mistaken then. Manhattan, Central Park, Times Square - just a miracle. By the way, funny, but in Times Square the road surface is far from ideal. And, of course, the hordes of yellow taxis are just the hallmark of New York. Steam from the sewers is also familiar to us from various horror films, but in the afternoon it does not look so sinister. It is not surprising that in New York there is so much street advertising - there are, after all, the headquarters of the largest advertising agencies. In Manhattan, of course, constantly crowds of people. Every time I saw this picture in a movie, I was always surprised how they manage to push through it. The Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge looks like some kind of small monument, but, nearby, it is magnificent. By the way, from the top of the Empire State, it seems, you can not look down on the whole of New York, because the building is not new and many modern skyscrapers are clearly pretending to rise above it. But the subway there is probably a real nightmare. Perhaps there aren’t as many people as in some Beijing subway, but if you look at its map, you involuntarily feel like dropping and catching another yellow taxi and leaving for Brighton Beach. It is a pity that there are so few photos from Madame Tussauds. That would be where I hung for an hour or two or three, and I absolutely would not notice how time flies. But, New York is such a city that simply "will not fit" into one separate photo story. It would also be interesting to see pictures of the legendary old districts - like Hell's Kitchen, which, as far as I know, is far from Hell. Although, probably, the most desirable place for me in New York is the Central Coffee Shop from Friends. Around the world have already made copies of it, but in order to visit the original, it is worth going to New York. And the memorial in memory of September 11 was rebuilt no less monumental than the very new building of the shopping center. In design, it is a bit like the Lakhta Center, which they plan to build in the near future near St. Petersburg.

With great interest I looked at photos of this legendary city, even my daughter knows its name, as it is often mentioned in the cartoon "Madagascar". And there it tells about the animals from the zoo located in this city, that's just because of just one cartoon, most children in different countries know about this city. As a result, I decided to call my daughter and, together with her, consider what is here, since I myself am very interested. The cleanliness of the streets, parks and the beach is amazing, I don’t even dream about that and don’t think that it will ever be in the future. Wherever you go to nature, everywhere there is a lot of garbage, this is plastic and broken glass, paper and much more. People arriving with families on vacation leave behind such a srach that even pigs are not capable of this. So, in terms of cleanliness, New Yorkers are great, as it is a merit not only of the janitors, but of all the townspeople who are trying to keep everything in good condition. I would especially like to note a large number of tall houses, many of them have been standing for more than a dozen years and there is not even a hint that this is a dilapidated building that is about to fall apart. I will not make comparisons, since they are not in our favor, and again there is no hope of improvement. Another big advantage is that there they are all Americans first thing and if they are asked who you are in other countries, the answer will follow with an indication of their state, and not nationality. But not so long ago there was strong racial discrimination, but now it has come to naught and people are valued first of all for their abilities, and not for belonging to a particular nation or religious faith. If I had been there, I would have looked with interest at a lot of things, almost every building there is an architectural value that it would be nice to go into, go up to the upper floors, and if possible. then go to the roof to enjoy the view from there. You can also visit the statue of freedom, I first saw what it relies on, before that in the cinema and in the pictures it was shown from afar or only the upper part and I thought that it rests on the ground. The bridge is also interesting, so many cables resemble a web in some ways, albeit remotely. I also noticed that there the asphalt on the roads was patched in places, but even the pedestrian zebra was erased by half, so the stereotype that all the roads there are ideal is partially broken.

New York is still quite a peculiar city, interesting and even somewhat unique. Probably most people would love to visit him, if they had money for it, and I am not an exception))) But you want to rejoice, because it is always interesting to watch your photo reports - you can make great shots, transfer not just the beauty of the area or cities, but also how to invest in a photo of its atmosphere, and probably also a part of your soul)))) And this, believe me, is very valuable, please continue to delight us, our readers, with your discoveries and discoveries, and share your impressions ! This is valuable!) A lot of advertising in this city, but probably. it is impossible to imagine him completely without her. In my views, about this vision was, where advertising from all angles and almost cracks stares at the visitor. Large bridges and high-rise buildings are magnificent. The park somewhere in the middle of the city is very beautiful, I also liked the bridge-arochka, the mirror buildings are also very ... urbanistic beautiful (so I said))) The building of the Rockefeller Center is so ... old from him and breathes, it has such an entourage what to do here films to shoot, and it can be absolutely diverse genres)) Russian girls - you probably met them like relatives) izrisovannye such, perhaps the event was thematic with them, it is a pity that they did not ask))) Brighton Beach I somehow I myself was not so completely imagined, I thought for some reason mantic park type place or promenade and is here savoring the old days it turned out really. The monument near the buildings in the form of a “Time and Life” brace looks pretty strange ... And what is it really about? The dance show on the street is rather unusual and looks cool, the little black guy is brave like that))) But there’s such a city that people probably almost forget about the fact that they have ever had some kind of complexes and some come off with might and main))) just like him) I just want to drag the view of the city from the skyscrapers to my memory, and maybe even put it in the background so that there is something to strive for, so to speak, to see the target and feel the guide! Because I would really like to go to this wonderful city for at least a couple of days, just to look at it out of the corner of my eye, to feel the atmosphere and rhythm. There probably everyone is constantly rushing about their business, but I just like that rhythm! Thank you for the excursion!

New York can not be called the city of my dreams, but it was interesting to see this city through the eyes of a professional photographer. Indeed, from the first minutes, that is, from the first photos, it is very similar to Moscow. The familiar Pepsi and McDonald’s only reinforce this impression. It seemed to me two that I again see Moscow, where I had been studying for nearly six years. The flow of cars and people, as well as filming of some television programs did not touch me at all. Typical weekdays of the big city. Or maybe it was in this - to show one day in the life of a typical New Yorker - and was the author's idea? If so, he succeeded. If not a creative find, then at least an interesting idea is to take photos of Central Park, covered with a curtain of rain, and the same park, which came to life under the bright rays of the sun. The girl who fed the squirrel complemented the picture in my head. In the skyscrapers, too, I do not see anything special. It is difficult to imagine any modern metropolis without such a "decoration". The Empire State Building, although its author did not single out a blog, seemed to me very worthy knowledge against the background of the rest. The Statue of Liberty, which is true, that is true, is too small. Not at all impressive. The analogies with disaster films did not even arise. The real tragedy of September 11, despite the Memorial of Memory, began to be hammered. The phrase "buy a free ticket" put on my guard a little. I wonder what the author meant by this? The inability not to donate those same 10 dollars, because "conscience torments"? Black dance shows, too, as they say, "no ice". Moreover, their timid attempts to ask for alms and scattering people. This is already, sorry, in any gate ... Are we exactly in a prosperous America? What is really good, really good is a few photos repeating footage from the movie “Home Alone” on the screen of a mobile phone. I really love these "chips". Feels "hand of the master." Of course, it is impossible to do without Brighton Beach, without this place the idea of New York would not be complete. But the overall impression of the city is pretty spoiled by these pictures. For my taste, it would be better to “dilute” all these skyscrapers and skyscrapers, which the trip to New York abounds in, with several more picturesque shots with Russian girls)) Comparison of the original Statue of Liberty and the wax museum is an original move. I, of course, would put this picture last, but even so very well. Thanks for walking around New York!

Visit New York - my dream for 5 years. I do not know why, but, earlier for some time it seemed to me that New York is a boring city. Perhaps I thought so, because too often I saw this city in American films and, as they say, I "ate" it in full. But to see him in detectives and comedies is one thing, quite another to be in it. When I look at the pictures of this photo report, I understand that I was very mistaken then. Manhattan, Central Park, Times Square - just a miracle. By the way, funny, but, in Times Square, the road surface is far from ideal. And, of course, the hordes of yellow taxis are just the calling card of New York. Sewer steam is also familiar to us from various horror films, but in the daytime it does not look so sinister. It is not surprising that in New York there is such an amount of street advertising - there are in fact full of central offices of the largest advertising agencies. In Manhattan, of course, there are always crowds of people. Every time I saw this picture in a movie, I always wondered how they managed to get over it. The Statue of Liberty from the Brooklyn Bridge looks like a small monument, but near it is gorgeous. By the way, from the top of the Empire State, it seems, it is impossible to look down on the whole of New York, because the building is not new and many modern skyscrapers are already clearly claiming to rise above it. But the subway there is probably a real nightmare. Perhaps the people are not as many as in some Beijing metro, but if you look at his map, then somehow you want to hang and catch another yellow taxi and go to Brighton Beach. It is a pity that so few pictures from Madame Tussauds. That would be where I hung an hour for two or three, and, absolutely, would not have noticed how time flies. But, New York is a city that simply does not fit into one separate photo essay. It would also be interesting to see pictures of the legendary old districts - like Hellish Kitchen, which, as far as I know, is far from Hellish. Although, perhaps, the most desirable place for me in New York is the Central Coffee Shop of Friends. Around the world have already made its copies, but in order to visit the original, it is worth going to New York. A memorial to the memory of September 11, rebuilt no less monumental than the new building of the shopping center. By design, it is a bit like "Lakhta Center", which they plan to build in the near future near St. Petersburg.

I looked at the photos of this legendary city with great interest, even my daughter knows its name, as it is often mentioned in the cartoon "Madagascar". And it tells about the animals from the zoo, located in this city, just like that, thanks to one cartoon, most of the children in different countries know about this city. In the end, I decided to call my daughter and consider with her what is there, as I myself am very interested. The cleanliness of the streets, parks and the beach amazes me, I don’t even dream about this and don’t think there will be sometime in the future. Where not to go on nature, everywhere a lot of garbage, it is plastic and broken glass, paper and much more. People coming families to rest leave behind such srach that even pigs are not capable of this. So in terms of cleanliness, the residents of New York are great, as it is a merit of not only the janitors, but also all the citizens who are trying to keep everything in good condition. I would especially like to mention a large number of high houses, many of them have been standing for decades, and there is not even a hint that this is a dilapidated building that is about to collapse. I will not make comparisons, since they are not in our favor, and again there is no hope for improvement. Another big advantage is that there they are all Americans first thing and if they are asked who you are in other countries, the answer will follow with the indication of their state, and not their nationality. But not so long ago there was a strong racial discrimination, but now it has been reduced to almost nothing and a person is valued first of all for his abilities, and not for belonging to a particular nation or religious religion. If I had been there, I would have looked closely at a lot with interest; almost every building there is an architectural value that it would be good to enter, climb to the upper floors, and if it works out. then go to the roof to admire the view from there. You can also visit the Statue of Liberty, for the first time I saw what it rests on, before it was shown in the cinema and in the pictures from afar or only the upper part and I thought that it rested on the ground. Another interesting bridge, so many cables resembles something web, albeit distantly. I also noticed that even there the asphalt on the roads was patched in places, but nevertheless even the pedestrian zebra was half erased, so the stereotype that there are partly perfect roads.
