Random Trip ~ Chinatown, Lincoln Center and Central Park ~ NYC lifestyle

Saturday was supposed to be a quick Dentist visit in Chinatown and then we were supposed to go home. But. We don't go out often these days. I work full time and weekends are my cleaning and relaxing day. I rarely go out. But since we were already int he city, so why not? After our dentist appt in Chinatown we jumped in F train on East BWAY station and took uptown to Rockefeller CTR and transfer to D. Then we took it two stops to Columbus Circle and then 1 train to 66th Street Lincoln Ctr. Hahaha! confusing right? I bet if you not form around here it might be. We went all the way to 66th street to visit my sister in law who works at Garment Garage, small supermarket with very yummy foods. Its right across the street form Juliard, cant missed it. If you around in the area def check it out. They have the best Hungarian Mushroom Soup! it smells and tastes almost like the one my mom and my grandma makes!oh men I missed that soup! with Christmas around corner is miss it even more. But long story make it short. After we ate and hang out with Snow, we went to take few pics at Lincoln Center :) Nice place but outside not much to do. After we were supposed to walk down to Columbus Circle and take train home , but with Central Park right in front of us we decided to take a short walk in the park. It was cold and gloomy. But we did had lots of fun.
Here is full load of pictures! enjoy !

Places to see in NYC ~ Brooklyn Bridge

I haven't done a NYC post in a while. I know some of you like reading it and scrolling down the pics. 

To walk down and up the Brooklyn Bridge was on my bucket list for so long. I think we all saw Godzilla movie and the famous bridge? You know the movie form 1998? This one of the movies that after watching i wanted to go to NYC so bad! So 10 years later I finally had a chance to walk down it. Can you believe it took me 10 Years!? Crazy! Dont get me wrong it is my first time walking not my first time on the bridge. Whenever going back to Brooklyn we always take Brooklyn Bridge or Manhattan Bridge :) 

Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest hybrid style cable-stayed/suspension bridge in United States. 

Completed in 1883 connects Manhattan and Brooklyn by spanning the East River.  

The pedestrian walkway in the center of the bridge above the car lanes.

Can you spy Sophia? LOL!

The view from the bridge is phenomenal, especially if you walk from Brooklyn towards Manhattan. The lower Manhattan skyline is right in front of you :)

Sophia and I, we took a walk starting from Brooklyn to Manhattan and than back. 

We took A train to High Street/Brooklyn Bridge stop and than walk 3 min. Once we found the stairs we got on and start taking pictures :) 

The weather that day was wonderful! almost spring like :) It was an impulse trip. I was panning to visit my in laws, who lives in Park Slope, Sophia wanted to do something so I ask how about we go for a walk on a Brooklyn Bridge? Oh yes great idea. But after checking forecast I saw that around 4pm it will rain, but at 1pm sky was blue and sun was shinning. We got ready fast and took a subway to the bridge and came home just in time. Shortly after it was pouring rain and thunderstorm. 

Here are few pics form the trip :) Enjoy them and let me know what places you would like to visit ? :) maybe I go there next time :)

Hope you enjoyed this post :)

9/11 Memorial ~ NYC

three weeks ago  I had a dr. appt. in CHinatown  and since I finished early I decided to take my daughter to 9/11 Memorial.

To be honest this is my third time visiting that place. The first was when I came to USA in 2007. Back then there was a still a huge hole in the ground where the twin towers stood.   I remember taking some pictures but I don't think I have them anymore. The second time was when I was pregnant -2009. I was showing my friend around and he wanted to go there. There still was no change since 2007.
Now, few years later we have beautiful memorial for the victims of this awful terrorist attack.
9/11 Memorial is located at World Trade Center site, former location of Twin Towers that were destroyed in September 11th attack.
There are two square  pools  in the center of where the twin towers stood. They are surrounded by the tree forest.  The names of 2,983 victims were inscribed on 76 bronze plates attached to parapets of the walls of  each pool.
One World Trade Center, also known as a Freedom Tower is the main building of rebuild World Trade Center complex in lower Manhattan. It is the tallest building in NYC and  sixth tallest building in the world.

Here is few pictures form the visit. It was really cloudy that day unfortunately . I will try to go there again when its more sunny :) I also took few short videos . If you want to see them check my page on FB (click here) .
