Some pics from our travels to NYC last week...
Leaving Toronto Pearson on AC 704.
Not sure where this is exactly, but my guess would be somewhere around the White Plains/Yonkers area north of NYC.
The density starts to rise as our Embraer 175 starts to descend.
Crossing into Manhattan airspace.
Central Park, Upper East Side, Queens, etc.
Central Park, Upper East Side, Queensboro Bridge, Roosevelt Island, Queens, etc.

Midtown Manhattan and Queens.
...and we've arrived!
Our MTA journey from LaGuardia (Queens) to Manhattan had us switching from the M60 bus to the N-train here at Astoria Blvd. Station.
The Triborough Bridge connects Queens to The Bronx to Manhattan.
MTA isn't the easiest to navigate, but we managed just fine.
Our hotel was located in the Lower Midtown/Flatiron District and was just a few blocks from this building you may know.
