New York, the last day, Tuesday 14.12.2010

[picasaView album=’NYC06′ directview]Today is the last day and we just took on, das Rockefeller Center (( http://www.topoftherocknyc.com )) (( http://de.wikipedia.org / wiki / Rockefeller_Center )) to visit and the GE Building (( Top of the Rock )) to rise; the rest of the plan was, to visit the various shops to give unrestrained. The write-off was fast on the stage and the staff were ever so nice, to deposit our luggage in the back room, we picked it up for the outward journey to JFK Airport again. One last visit to our winners of the contests Stehcafe (( Ottomanelli )) was again very delicious and a Bagle, dark dough, Handmade and fried in a pan with lots of butter (( where can I find the holes in the middle very impractical )) was extremely tasty; Fat is just an important flavor carrier :-). Very surprised, I stared at the tiled floor, followed by bright clumps accumulated. The shop owner was there simply distributed coarse wood shavings, allow moisture on the smooth tile floor does not require fall victim to customers. Does not look very nice, but the special criminal law probably brings such pragmatic ideas to the plan. After I got over me one more time, to dispose of my "dish" along with the tablet in the great maw of the garbage can, This time it was not our usual Subway to the 1 line, but equal to the station before the MNH (( Museum of Natural History )), where we immediately went to Rockefeller Center. (( http://www.newyork-net.de/rockefeller_center.html )) . It was a further part of the City Pass demolished and we left again to go through us the usual safety precautions: Security lock, Metal scanner and the obligatory duty photo, but this time we bought. In the entrance hall an installation of products was my home (( www.wattens.com )) , the world famous Swarovski (( www.swarovski.at )) -Stones to see. On very long threads hanging from the ceiling elongated crystal cube down and should represent a waterfall. Unfortunately, however, no indication of the Crystal Worlds (( http://kristallwelten.swarovski.com/Content.Node/startseite.php )) In the ceiling of the elevator hoistway was transparent so you could see the blue lights in the corners of the tray during startup, seen during previous semi-transparent video were. One had the feeling immersed in a deep black endless tunnel. Somehow just unreal, as if you would be in a scene of a science fiction film. (( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9CUJpADi70 ))
At the first observation floor you left the car not inside the building and already caught a first glimpse of the panorama through the large windows. After step outside we realized, why was not on the platform so much going on: It was bitterly cold and windy uncomfortable. I had to go to the camera 5 Minutes immediately put back into the jacket, because the battery icon started in the cold draughty immediately to flash. An escalator led the visitors upstairs to the next viewing platform and from there to a small staircase led up to the very top so the "Top of the Rock". Up there we had the Panzerglascheiben, which went to the bottom, a magnificent view of Manhattan and the surrounding area. It was so so drafty, that the fur cap retreated into a reinforced security door recess and shivering from one leg to the other minced.
Once back down, we marveled at the ice rink with the golden Prometheus statue above. After a few very busy hours, where we dangled us by various shops and tried to defy the collars pulled back heavy snow, We drove back to the hotel, picked up our luggage and off we went on the subway towards Jamaica Center in Queens, and from there by train to Terminal A ir 4 des-JFK Airport. The journey on the line 7 by Queens took place during rush hour and led us in mind, how much less can be as relaxed a subway ride when it's packed and blows the breath of the rear shock in the man's neck. Although the car was packed with passengers, were pressed at the bus stops, the newcomers still bursting in the full amount and compressed the already tightly together gepferchte crowd once again in addition to a very unpleasant way.
At the airport everything was back on track and after about 8 Hours of flight, was sometimes very bumpy, we landed on Wednesday, the 15.12.2010 morning in Frankfurt.

Conclusion:

This bubbling and very versatile city can not be in 5 Comprehend or grasp days. It can be experienced only some facets. You have to find a healthy balance between the many offerings and physical exhaustion, the one is subject to doubt, if the city one robs the final energy and a can not loose, even draws a suction, which one can be very hard to resist.
Everything is bigger, some corners are louder, hectic, some areas in turn much quieter, relaxing. 's Unmengen Museen, kleine Parks, der große Central Park, the subway and these sometimes large and giant canyons. We have discovered in Manhattan not much of you, New York, You Pragmatic, but we will come back and listen to the sirens of Kojak.
