so i thought it would be cool to get some pics of the famous street names...this is pretty much right where all people line up for TRL (music channel...Total Request Live)
so on my second day in the USA after spending the night in the marriott hotel i took an early morning train right into New York city's grand central station, a truly awesome place... i had no idea of where anything was so the first thing i did was buy a map...i had my breakfast in one of the thousand starbucks and set off on a day of snapshots and being a tourist... i visited the empire state building, ground zero (twin towers), central park, times square and some other famous places. highlight of the day was getting a photo of brad pitt and seeing heaps of cop cars speed down broadway and then park up, i think it might have been a movie??
