DAY 27: Cruising and museum-ing


Monday, 07/01/2013

The ethereal New York City has a lot more than what i could witness of it on my first visit.. The bus-subway combo of reaching NYC felt more exciting and view-full.. Got to witness the majestic glassed-structure of "The New York Times" outside Port authority (Interstate bus stand) too. Coming out from the downtown exit, I lost my thoughts wavelength and was taken a back by this sparkling tower, the new world trade center, now called "The Freedom Tower". It sure proved to be victorious now, no more a loss!

The adventurous NYC tour started with "the new york water taxi".. An hour of city's skyline gawking, hearing the guide's blabbering about the city's history, and finally beholding the sight of the American icon- The Statue of Liberty. In short, money well spent ;)

Captivating though shut down store

The Pakistani style cooked chicken over rice with a touch of New York in it was more than delightful to my famished belly. Definitely the best chicken rice I have ever had anywhere and that too from a long queued stall. 
Chicken over rice.. drooling!!

Next stop was the astounding American Museum of Natural History. On entering the museum, the massive Dinosaur structure left me flabbergasted and reminded me of the famous "Night at the Museum" movie. The Bernard Family hall of North-American mammals, Asian People, New York City Birds, Saurischian Dinosaurs, African People and many such sections with The Museum shop and Cafe on every floor of the museum was extremely exhilarating.

At the end of the day, we sated over the cosmetic shopping. The store's gratuitous makeover and incredible discounts left me beaming till the next day..

    There are so may things here to talk about !!! I like the cars parked that way.... amusing to me since obviously it doesn't quite look like this back here in India...

    Second those NYC flat systems.... The fire escape stair at the back, it would have scared me in India... I would be forever anticipating a burglar to climb up the stairs at night... lol

    Then, it is kind of amazing that the best Pakistani chicken rice would be available in NYC and not here, in the neighboring country :P

    And the museum is so cool, god that giant dinosaur :D and the little rodents skeleton with the furry version alongside... and the primate <3 hahaha I guess he has a banana in his hand too !

    And I didn't know that a dinosaur egg existed in a museum..... Will the Jurassic Park really become real someday ( Awestruck! ):)
