A Month In New York City 🗽

New York City is the kind of place that can set your soul on fire, excite you and leave you feeling overwhelmed all at the same time.

It’s an electric place and there’s so much to see!

My first visit to New York City was for 1 week only. A week jammed packed full of sightseeing, eating and walking. A lot of walking. Come to think of it, a lot of eating too! But I felt like I hadn't even touched the sides. So a year later, Ben and I decided to visit again for another week. Still not enough. So the next time, we decided to stay for a whole month and do it right.
 
Late last year, we booked an Airbnb in New Jersey with the most incredible view of Manhattan. I just couldn't believe it. Growing up I'd seen so many views like this on TV and now I was standing right in front of it. And although it felt like I could reach out and touch the city, it was an hour bus ride away. We could see Central Park from our balcony but we had to travel interstate to feel the buzz of the city.

We did a heap of exploring while we were there. We got to enjoy the Autumn colours in Central Park, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Rockefeller Christmas tree.

I absolutely love New York City. Here are some of my favourite photos from our time there.

Empire State Building

A trip to New York isn't complete without a photo of the Empire State Building. This photo was taken from the Top of the Rock at sunset.

DUMBO, Brooklyn

From Washington Street, you have this incredible view of the Manhattan Bridge. And it perfectly frames the Empire State Building.

---

Statue of Liberty

A ferry ride over to Liberty Island will ensure you have a great view of Lady Liberty. You can however see her from lots of vantage points all over the city. This shot was taken from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

---

Central Park

An amazing place to take a stroll. I go each time I visit New York and I still don't feel like I've seen it all. It is particularly beautiful in the Fall.

---

Bow Bridge, Central Park

My favourite bridge in Central Park. It is packed full of people during the day, but if you go early enough, you can get the place to yourself.

---

Tudor City Overpass

This place offers great views of the best building in NYC (in my opinion), the Chrysler Building. Who doesn't love some art deco architecture?

---

Rockefeller Christmas Tree

Super stoked to have seen the Rockefeller Christmas Tree in all its glory. Last year it was brought in from State College, Pennsylvania and it weighed 12,000 kgs!

Brooklyn Bridge Park

Probably one of my favourite places to photograph in NYC. Along the water's edge stand these raised stumps. And behind them, a great view of Lower Manhattan.
