There is nothing to write about this amazing city. You all know about this city, its attractions, its busy life, the tall buildings and skyline. One thing I can say about this city is that – this city is different from all other cities in United States. This city offers many great attractions like – skyline with tall skyscrapers, Empire State Building, Times Square, Rockefeller Center and many more that I cannot list in this blog.
I visited this city during the Christmas holidays of year 2009. This is perhaps the best time to visit New York City as the entire city is decorated to welcome the new year, in my case it was 2010. I was still in Minneapolis at that time and had some family/relatives in Jersey City. I decided to visit them and tour this city. It takes about 4 hours (by flight) to get to Newark,NJ from Minneapolis.
My first destination was my cousin’s place. After spending some good time with them they took me around in the city. We started with the Lake Front area in Jersey City. You can see the beautiful skyline of the New York city from there (both the mid town and the downtown). It was a sunny and clear day so the view of the skyline was spectacular.
Next we went to the Liberty State Park. It snowed by that time and the entire city was covered by snow. I got to take some really great pictures on that day. It was 25th December 2009 and the ferries to the Statue of Liberty was closed so we could only visit the Liberty State Park and visited it’s old Railway Station and took some pictures.
At the end we went on a walk to the New York city where we visited the Rockefeller Center and Times Square to finish the trip.
Here are some of the pictures from my first trip to New York City
