Too bad it was hazy tonight, but the view of the city was still amazing. Such a large park, 2.5 miles long.

Capturing the spirit of a city
Nathan, your travel articles and pictures keeps getting better and better. From your opening paragraph on, you allow the reader to visit the city by your side, experiencing life in the crowded streets, peaceful park and numerous museums or attractions. It's an excellent guided tour and the pictures are wonderful. I especially like the night photos and detail shots throughout the city. Marvelous. Thanks for sharing!

whew...
Damn Nate! You squeezed in A LOT! That's dope. I've always wanted to go back there, T and are were only there for a day and it was so cold, we ended up seeing the "sights" while driving! I've always felt I was a pretty good driver, but now that I've actually driven around NY especially in Tines Square I can probably be a cab driver if I ever moved there! Nice blog - great flicks.
