This is my 6th time in NY if I count well…
Every time it fascinates me again.
In the yesterday’s evening we took a walk to the 42nd Street and Times Square – full of people, full of lights and yellow cabs…
Today the sun is shinning so it was a good time to go to the vieving platform on the 67th floor of Rockeffeler Center.
They charge 27 USD, but the view is really great!
Then St Patrick Cathedral, United Nations and lower Manhattan with the great views of the bridges… Long walk through Chinatown…
NY Budget Inn where we stay (bookable via Hostelworld) offers relatively inexpensive accommodation on the expensive Manhattan. Relatively, because Central Manhattan is VERY expensive. It is located
on 200 East 34th street. No sign on the building – just unnamed entrance. See the white entrance on the picture – it is there! Everything is crampy here to maximize the profit: no lift, narrow stairs and corridors. In the basic twin room you have bunk bed, metal locker, flat TV on the wall and 2 square meters to live. But the shared restrooms are clean. Towels are included but they charge 5 USD deposit for towel. -Check out is early: 11 am and if you
want to leave your pack for another hour or more you have to pay (!) 5 dollars per pack, even if you are the guest. In the morning at the entrance they put the coffee and some small donuts –
you can treat it as a breakfast.
At 3.40 our train to Chicago departs from Pensylwania Station. So after a lovely day we will have a night on the train. Lets go!
