New York Adventure – Day 5

Day 5 has now been uploaded onto my exclusively NY blog, D&Ks NY Experience. For the full blog and all the photos please click: http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/new-york-adventure-day-5-conquering-fear.html

Day 5 was a big day for D and I, in more ways than one. We literally had to conquer our fear of heights and D's vertigo in one day! Below are some photos from Day 5 that you won't find in the D&Ks NY Experience blog along with some more movie related locations...

Starting with the Top Of The Rock

And as it looked in The Adjustment Bureau:

Next we saw the Flatiron Building

And here's how it looked in Spider-Man:

The movie locations continued as we visited 8 Hook and Ladder

Otherwise known as the Ghostbusters fire house

Our next stop was at Ground Zero where we saw the building of Freedom Tower

D tells me she did see a shot of this in The Amazing Spider-Man but there are yet to be any screencaps of this as the movie has only been released in cinemas. In the mean time lets look at the very pretty Andrew Garfield looking down on New York City.

Whilst at Ground Zero we visited St Paul's Chapel, if you don't know anything about St Paul's you can find out more here. It's not been in any movies but it was a very special place that D and I felt privileged  to be able to visit.

Next up we headed on over to Brooklyn to grab an ice cream at the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory which sits under the Brooklyn Bridge.

After our indulgence we decided it would be a good idea to walk back to Manhattan over the Brooklyn Bridge to burn off those calories. Here's a nice photo of the Brooklyn Bridge from on the bridge

And here is virtually the same shot in the Sex And The City Movie

Our final stop of the day was to visit The Empire State Building. The lift ride took it out of poor D and she barely got to see the Observation Deck but here's some of the photos I took

And here's how it looks in Sleepless In Seatle

And there you have Day 5. Remember for the full blog and more photos visit my D&Ks NY Experience Blog using this link http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/new-york-adventure-day-5-conquering-fear.html

New York Adventure – Day 4

Day 4 has now been uploaded onto my exclusively NY blog, D&Ks NY Experience. For the full blog and all the photos please click: http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/new-york-adventure-day-4-lady-ks-movie.html

As Day 4 was exclusively taken up seeing movie locations here are some movie related photos from Day 4 that you won't find in that blog...

Columbia University featured in the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 and in Ghostbusters.

Here's Mary Jane in the first Spidey standing outside Columbia University. You can see the steps and columns behind her.

And here's the same location as seen in Ghostbusters.

Continuing the Ghostbusters theme we also took in Dana Barrett's apartment building.

We then stopped by the American Museum of Natural History to see Teddy Roosevelt and Sacajawea from Night At The Museum.

Going back the Ghostbusters theme we stopped by the Lincoln Centre fountains - also featured in Sweet Home Alabama. Here's D posing in front of the fountains.

And here they are in Ghostbusters.

Continuing the Ghostbusters theme some more we stopped at Columbus Circle.

And here it is in the film.

After a long day of walking we stopped at FAO Schwarts so I could have a play on the BIG piano, so called because it's big...

And because it was in the Tom Hanks movie Big!

On our way back to our hotel we stumbled across this very spooky looking church - St Patrick's Cathedral - which featured in Gremlins 2.

And to finish off our day we paid a visit to Times Square which has featured in many films, amongst them Gremlins 2, Spider-Man and King Kong.

As I said above, these are just a few of the places we visited on Day 4 so be sure to check out my NY Blog for more http://dknyexperience.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/new-york-adventure-day-4-lady-ks-movie.html
