While I was in New York back in 2013, I went for a morning stroll in Brooklyn and and evening one in Manhattan.

Well when you’re like me and you tend to wake up early in Paris, going to New York kind of mean that you’re up at 4 in the morning and can go out early and walk around while your friends still sleep! Obviously it is kind of hard to make any original pictures, but it is fun to interact with the famous beasts that are Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.

I then went to meet my friends at a Bareburger for brunch.  Good point for them is that them make most of the food from organic and fair trade. Bad point is the price (well as everything in New York area anyway…) and the taste is not amazing. Good but not crazy. Anyway, one of my friends was going to take his plane in this afternoon so we took our time and saw him off.

We headed to the Frick Collection after this. There are nice pieces of arts there, especially paintings, and interresting pieces of furnitures. After this we went to have a cookie at Levain Bakery. They are supposed to be the best in town, and well there is a huge queue outside this small basement shop. The cookies are chunky, usually warm and well quite tasty, but wouldn’t say “best cookie EVER”.

I ended the day with a walk in the Times Square area.

Went for 2 weeks in New York on October 2013. Stayed at my friend Sarah’s place in Brooklyn, and on the first day we decided to have a day out at Bear Moutain.

Took the train at Grand Central fairly early with Sarah and Teddy (10ish I guess), and Sarah’s workmate picked us at the station.

Once at Bear Mountain we hiked to the top to get a good view of New York though due to the weather we couldn’t see any of it.

Going down we wanted to take a bear at the Oktoberfest by the lake but the hour queue kind of put us off so we just went to a snack in Cold Spring before going back to NYC.
