I went to New York City for 4 days last week for the first time. I took over 700 pictures during my stay and I obviously won't be showing them all, but I hope the ones I do show give an idea of what the city is like.
I apologize if some photos are of poor quality or overexposed. The weather wasn't great, but I made the most of it.
The plane is awaiting.

Sorry for the bluriness (I was on a bus). The Woolworth building is the tall skyscraper to the centre right. It was once the tallest building in the world.
