New York is a big and very busy city especially around the Wall Street district which was our main goal today. On our way we passed the beautiful Grand Central Terminal. If I'd live somewhere else in America I would have loved to have taken the train to NY, what a fun experience!
The high and white stone walls were very impressive not to mention the glittering chandeliers in the ceiling. There have been several Hollywood recordings for great films and TV-shows within this building. For example, in the first episode of Gossip Girl Serena Van Der Woodsen appears on the main stairs of Grand Central. Fancy that, I've been standing there too! ;)
Wall Street was also amazing with it's high buildings and crowded streets where most of the people we bumped into wore grey or black suits. Strict and professional. We walked around a few blocks and had a warm cup of chocolate at Financier Patisserie. Afterwards we continued our trip towards Ground Cero to visit The World Trade Center area where they are now rebuilding it. I thought about the chaos that the citizens of New York must have experienced that day.. Awful.
Later we jumped on the subway and headed towards Meatpacking District. We entered an old building that had lots of special grocery shops including fresh fish, meat, fruits & vegetables - where the pumpkin was in focus due to Halloween of course.
I bumped into yet another cute bakery called Elenis which had all the colourful cupcakes in the world and other cookies that I'd love to bring back home. Anyway I managed to take some pictures of them! Take a look at the upcoming collage later. We had yet another pretty long day with many long walks so in the afternoon we headed back to hotel and fell asleep due to exhaustion, with that said in a good way ;)
