We came to NYC armed with lots of walking tours so this morning we headed north towards Central Park. New for me are the very tall and very thin buildings of Billionaire's Row just south of the Park.
The Pond (no, really, the person in charge of naming was tired that day)
The thinnest building in the world, 24:1 ratio of height to width for the Steinway Tower in the middle.
Gapstow Bridge
Bethesda Fountain topped by Angel of the Waters
And apparently a popular spot for wedding photos.
Bow Bridge
Hansom cab through the park
Tribute to John Lennon at the entrance nearest the Dakota. A busker was sitting on the bench and singing McCartney-Lennon songs the entire time we were there.
The Dakota apartment building, where John and Yoko lived. John was shot to death just outside the entrance on the left.
This was a great show performed on one of the theaters of the New World Stages, capacity 400. In addition to the performances, I was impressed with the way the stunts were performed. There was a lot of behind the scenes technology making things fall on command.
