My first trip to New York was memorable for many reasons, you can see a lot in a day and even the danger excites, as this city with a constant edge that pulses with life energy and noise ! I had a great deal at the Waldorf Astoria with two other guests, Harris and Con. The three of us split the cost of the hotel room that worked out to around $65 per night. The rental car deal was even better  $12 each !

We were all in town for our friend Costas Wedding.

 

Stepping out for the first time in New York and man we were energized with the pulse of the greatest city in the World !CostasWed97 001
First stop, Times Square for the best Burger ever, NY style, the street people are everywhere with their hands out for money,  I pass them a cigarette or a stick of gum it gets them to smile at least ! I walk on to
Central Park around the Lake and check out the Zoo.

 

Next stop and Harris and I are gazing from the Top of the Empire State Building onto Greenwich Village, SoHo, Chinatown. Brooklyn Heights Promenade for magnificent views of Manhattan’s skyline, we walked around Battery park and on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty at dusk admiring all the glittering lights of the city that never sleeps.HF GE NY 97 001
