We present here the last chapter of this guide, at least this season
because we plan to return. For this chapter we leave the route that most
like, walk and subway to discover places where you do not need to pay
entry. So, comfortable footwear, metro card and .. ready travel companions!
we start?
First place chosen, Flatiron building and Eataly market.
The area of the flatiron building has a very particular charm. The emblematic building dates
of 1902, being at that time one of the tallest buildings in New York.
Almost in front of this building we find a market with Italian products,
Eataly, matching the words.
This market located on the fifth avenue, also has another headquarters in
the downtown
This traditional site. created by Óscar
Farinetti, opened in 2004, has branches in Turin, Tokyo, Chicago,
Los Angeles, Boston and Moscow.
Walking through the gondolas is a delight, you will find cheeses, pastas, sauces,
vinegars, oils, everything you can imagine in italians gastronomic
products.
With the simple motto of: we sell what we cook, we cook what we sell ", this
Market is a very good option for a walk, to continue discovering New York.
Of course, if you feel like us, this tour is no longer economic,
Prices are somewhat high.
The next stop will be in West Village, in the Greenwich neighborhood, and it will be
to see the apartment building of the mythical Friends series.
In truth, even if you're not a fan of the series, and you're not interested in seeing the
facade of the building, we recommend a quiet walk through the neighborhood, not
It has waste.
Although the 10-season series ended in 2004, you'll see some fans taking off
photos on the corner of Bedford and Grove st. in the West Village.
Get lost in its streets, they're beautiful.
If we continue walking calmly as we recommend, and enjoying the
walk, we will arrive at another facade of a mythical series. Carry Bradshaw's
apartment in Sex and the City.
Located on 66 Perry Street, although in the series they gave
another location, we find the stairway of the
apartment crossed by a chain, which indicates that some fans come to
be photographed in it.
The next stop is in Soho (South of Houston), a neighborhood full of boutiques
and restaurants. Very close to Chinatown and Little Italy, the
which we do not include in this tour because we already dedicate a video to them, (that if
you did not see it, we leave you here the link) we found the Soho neighborhood.
During the 19th century and a large part of the 20th century, Soho was an industrial zone,
which we will notice if we stop to observe the buildings. From 1970
the industries were becoming lofts that occupied the artists. In this
area are some of the oldest buildings in the city, they are
buildings constructed with molten steel, with fire escape stairs in their
facades, and very appreciated by photographers and film directors.
You'll find brand stores, both small boutiques, and local
renowned, such as Mango, H & M, Zara, etc.
For this tour to remain austere, remember not to be tempted by any of the brands.
We take the subway and arrive at the Oculus.
Built in ground zero, in the financial zone of New York, by the
architect Santiago Calatrava, the Oculus has been surrounded by controversy since its
building.
This station was inaugurated in 2016, as a tribute to the victims of 9/11, and
in homage to peace.
It is a station where eleven metro and train lines converge, and a center
commercial.
A walk through it is well deserved, since you will observe this work, which does not
it will leave indifferent. What better place to return to take the
subway, and so move to the tramway of Roosevelt Island.
A different and highly recommended experience is to take the tramway of
Roosevelt Island
Simply with your metro card, you can access it, like a trip
more on subway, and so fly over the East River and enjoy the views of
Manhattan and the Queensboro Bridge.
The cable car leaves every few minutes, and it takes only three to make the crossing to the
island, once in it you can take it back to Manhattan.
The views are wonderful, and you will surely remember a scene from the movie
Spiderman
The station is located on the second avenue between 59th and 60th streets.
The next destination is an emblematic building in the city.The New York,
Public Library. The New York Public Library is one of the most important
of the world. Located on Fifth Avenue with 42 street across from Bryant Park
It is a visit that you can not miss.
The façade will remind you of the movie Ghostbusters, or The Day After Tomorrow.

We continue touring emblematic buildings of the city, so we
We moved to the Grand Central Terminal. Only 400 meters from the library and
located at 42 street, trapped between skyscrapers, we found the Grand Central Terminal.
Start by admiring the exterior façade and then immerse yourself in the interior of
this beautiful station

restaurants.
The current station was built on the old Grand Central Station.

To get to Grand Central just get off the subway at Grand Central
Station, of lines 4, 5, 6, 7, or S.
The tour of New Nork can be infinite, so much so that it is impossible to detail it in
a single video. You'll find old subway stations, Love and Hope posters of
Robert Indiana.The South Street Seaport, (a section on Fulton Street that has
preserved the cobblestones), restaurants and bars.
South Street Seaport was the main commercial port of New York during
XIX century.
Let's not forget St. Patrick's Cathedral, on Fifth Avenue. A tour of
Brooklyn with the wonderful views of the Manhattan skyline, and the intersection of
Brooklyn bridge. Who also does not think about traveling the
Central Park on foot, or a tour of the Chelsea Market and High line, to which
We have dedicated a video, here we leave the link.
Or Union Square, Chinatown and Little Italy, which
We also dedicate a video. And finally the night in Time Square.
