30 dec. 2025 – day 1

Lower Manhattan

visited Little Italy, Chinatown & Financial District — so many cool buildings and views to see there

got to the top of the One World Trade Center, also saw Ground Zero memorial

Staten Island

took the free ferry boat to Staten Island to get a little closer to the Statue of Liberty, and then to see Manhattan’s skyline

31 dec. 2025 – day 2

Central Park

took a walk in Central Park! saw the entry of the Zoo (it’s the one in Madagascar…) and Balto’s statue <3

5th Avenue

just like Sting, we walked down 5th Avenue… was an English woman in New York indeed.

Saw the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, and slo the Trump Tower yeehaw

Grand Central

pretty deceived by Grand Central??

Brooklyn Bridge

amazing walk for New Year’s Eve (after we got home to take a nap) <3 even experienced a little snow on the bridge!

01 jan. 2026 – day 3

Lower East Side

took a walk on the Williamsburg Bridge (the one the M train we take to get to Manhattan rides on!)

Greenwich village

saw the Washington Square Arch (that’s where Sally drops Harry in When Harry Met Sally…).

Chelsea

cool lil indoor market with little exhibitions and shops — but so crowded we couldn’t have lunch there… So we ate at an American Dinner in Chelsea instead, they had a TV there where we watched Zohran Mamdani becoming mayor.

High Line & Hudson Yards

amazing place, it’s a park/greenway built on an old rail way. We had a hard time finding the entrance lol. At this point, it was freezing cold (-9°C) and I couldn’t feel my hands anymore :/

Times Square

amazing place but so crowded. It was 01/01 so we collected several ‘wishes’ printed on confettis throwed on New Year’s Eve at midnight over the street.

Top of the Rock

got to the top of the Rockefeller Center, to see NYC from above but at night!!

02 jan. 2026 – day 4

Museum of the City of NY

very cool museum. rly loveeeed an immersive film with only shots of NYC in different movies

MOMA

no words, amazing pieces of art. A little crowded because Friday nights are apparently free for New Yorkers, but it was okay :)

03 jan. 2026 – day 5

Brooklyn

went to thrift shops in Brooklyn!! got myself an unspeakably cool Ranch sauce shirt and Doc Martens for 65$ (wanted ones for sooo long).

Long Beach

wanted to go to Montauk, the end of Long Island (just like in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but it was like a 8h round trip… So just took the LIRR from Penn Station to Long Beack

04 jan. 2026 – day 6

Museum of Moving Image

my favorite museum! very interesting permanent collection presenting all jobs in the cinema/TV industry with associated props, the Jim Henson experience (with real Kermit and Miss Piggy there), the Mission: Impossible exhibition (now I want to see the movie??)…

Going home
