One of the favorite things we do, long Walks. We love walks and street photography so we decided one afternoon to explore and take a walk by Midtown Midtown. Midtown, represents the central lengthwise portion of the borough and island of Manhattan in New York City. Midtown is home to some of the city's most iconic buildings, including the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the headquarters of the United Nations, and it contains world-renowned commercial zones such as Rockefeller Center, Broadway, and Times Square. These places has always been the favorite places to walk around by most people, it is also one of the busiest places when in New York. It is a melting of a whole of different experience, where you see different culture, different people, different races, everyone is unique.
Winter is almost ending. It was the perfect weather for a walk so we decided to explore Lincoln Park in Jersey City. Lincoln Park is a borough in Morris County, New Jersey, United States, named for President Abraham Lincoln. We always look for great places to run or take long hikes and we found this in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Beautiful days call for nature walks to parks, gardens and cool places. We decided to talk a walk and explorer Liberty State Park. Liberty State Park is located on Upper New York Bay in Jersey City, New Jersey, opposite Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Here are a few things we saw at the park full of beautiful flowers. One of the places we love to come home to in Pennsylvania. The home of Molly and Sadie.
Working in New York City urged me to come up with a list of the coolest places to visit, places to explore and hang out when visiting New York City. The photos I have taken myself are taken in different seasons yet always had been one of the beautiful places to take photos of. 1.Brookfield PlaceBrookfield Place, originally known as the World Financial Center, is a shopping center and office-building complex located across West Street from the World Trade Center site in the Battery Park City neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City. Overlooking the Hudson River, Brookfield Place has been home to offices of various companies including Merrill Lynch, RBC Capital Markets, Nomura Group, American Express and Brookfield Asset Management, among others. 2. The World Trade Center Station (PATH)World Trade Center is a terminal station on the PATH system. Located within the World Trade Center in the Financial District neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, it is served by the Newark–World Trade Center line at all times and the Hoboken–World Trade Center line on weekdays. World Trade Center serves as the eastern terminus of both lines. 3. 230&5th Rooftop Bar4. The Empire State BuildingIn 2010, I had a vivid dream that I was standing by this Giant Bean, I dreamt we had a photo taken. I woke up and searched about it, learned that it is in Chicago. In 2012, I visited New York and planned to see the Bean but due to a whole lot of events we had to prioritize other travels. In 2014, I had a phone call to work for this company, I asked where is the headquarters, found out it is in Chicago, I said YES to that job. In 2017, I traveled to Chicago to visit our headquarters and first thing I went to see, of course, is the Giant Bean. You should see how huge my smile was when I finally got to see it. It was beautiful as I imagined it to be! When God gives you a vision, hold on to it, visions are glimpses of events that comes to you, never let those go.
