During our seventh day in the "Big Apple" we decided to visit a traditional GreenFlea Market. We headed out early and took the Subway towards town. After a few minutes walk we ended up in a huge school, where the school yard was filled with tables and little tents where people had lined up with both spices, food, furniture, clothes and so much more!
Most of the items were vintage - a perfect place to make good bargains! Still there were also things that could be considered as "junk" too so one had to look closely. I found two beautiful rings, the so called Claddagh Ring from Ireland but the first was too small to fit my finger and the other one was a bit expensive, still it was made out of 18K Gold and felt very "heavy" on my finger. Hopefully I'll find one when I visit Ireland ;)
Most of the morning was spent there as we circulated around all the little tables which were covered with fancy pieces. However, in the afternoon we went back to Central Park to see more of the enormous but breathtaking park. My favourite spot during the entire trip! We stopped by the restaurant The Boathouse to have some hot chocolate and cookies.
On our way back to the hotel we passed by a spot in Central Park which was filled with people. We were curious and decided to check what these people were looking at and as we got closer we saw a big circle made out of mosaic were the word "Imagine" had been written. Beautiful and so we understood that it had been made to honour The Beatles member John Lennon. Check out the pictures I'll post here within a few minutes! :)
