Day two Part 2: Midtown

January 7th, 2008

After we cancelled our ESB visit we went north and visited the magnificent New York Public Library and the Christmas Market in Bryant Park. The beautiful ice skating rink in Bryant Park provided a real perfect christmas atmosphere. We spent there a while people watching and continued to Grand Central Station for taking a couple of nightshots beore continueing to the famous christmas tree in Rockefeller Center where we took some nice pictures and video clips. The weather was getting a bit better and so I decided to check out the new observation deck „Top of the Rock“, which re-opened in 2006. Ewa had no idea where we were going and was pretty amazed when we entered the elevater, which brought us to the 67th floor. The view was, well, okay at this time but NYC at night is still an experience, cloudy or not. We did a few photos and videoshots and hurried a bit fro getting back on the streets, because it was freakin’ cold up there
When we left the building at around 8.45pm directly next to the famous Radio City Music Hall, we spontaneously bought two of the few tickets left for the 9pm show, Christmas Spectacular. It was absolutely awesome, definitely a recommendation. We’ve never heard of the Rockettes so far, but now we’re fans!
The show was ended around 10.30pm and we hurried to get back to the hotel, or, more precisely, our bed, because we were pretty much knackered after the long day.
