Fraunces Tavern is a landmark museum and restaurant in New York City, situated at 54 Pearl Street at the corner of Broad Street.

 

The location played a prominent role in history before, during and after the American Revolution, serving as a headquarters for George Washington,

a venue for peace negotiations with the British, and housing federal offices in the Early Republic.

I made this photo in nyc aug 2007 with a digital camera. Bernice Abbot is one of my favorite photgraphers.

Lovely purple flowers occupied the wall boxes of the Plaza.

NYC As Calm as it can Be

 

Coming from a tropical, third world country, The Empire State Building

tour was an unforgettable experience. The view up on top was beyond my expectations,

the lights and cool 3 degrees celcius or so of New York would strike you as soon as you step on the view deck.

Majestic, opulent and serene; those are the first words that you would think of once you see New York City,

at 1200 feet from the ground, New York City is as quiet as a church on a monday morning. Here you get to admire

this urban jungle in a quiet environment.

  

In order to go up, you must at least pay $30.00 for the ticket (some may find this expensive but getting up there

was really worth it). Leave your tripod in the hotel, as building security would confiscate it since tripods are

prohibited items on the viewdeck.. I think this is done in order for guests to buy panoramas found on the souvenir

store at the end of the tour.

  

Ferrying passengers to the top are high-speed elevators that take you from the 2nd floor to the peak in just seconds!

  

Accompanying me in this tour is an iphone shaped tablet that has an overview of everything about the building; history,

construction, developers, materials, future enhancements and all the other trivias about this iconic structure.

  

NYC - The city that REALLY never sleeps
