New York, the city that never sleeps, with over 8 million people Manhattan is the main island, but all the neighborhoods are worth a visit. With skyscrapers from the 20th century, its skyline is impressive. The architecture shines but so do its museums, art galleries, parks and green areas, the conversion of industrial districts, its people...
Today is a sad day, we have to say goodbye to Nao and Lucas.
They go to work and we do general cleaning and shopping at the supermarket.
Williamsburg
We get up late, have breakfast and take the subway to Queens. Our first stop is Chinatown in Flushing. It's very authentic, grocery stores (mushrooms, noodles, soybeans), restaurants... We eat there, in a Chinese restaurant, it was all delicious.
We take the subway and go to Coney Island, 1 hour by subway to and from Williamsburg. Decadent but very attractive. Not a tree. Here you can enjoy the American beaches, with their typical docks and lifeguard towers.
Luna Park
We go back to New York, wake up at 7 am and have breakfast at the hostel. Two and a half hours later we enjoy again the view from New Yersey of New York before crossing the tunnel. The bus leaves us near the subway entrance on 34th and 7th.
We leave our backpacks and return to Union Square. We spend part of the day shopping.
We get up at 6 a.m. as our bus leaves at 7:45 a.m. for Philadelphia. We have also taken it with Megabus and it takes about 3 hours. We pick it up at Union Station and it drops us off in Philadelphia at 30th St Station.
Our accommodation is well located so you can move around on foot to the main places of interest.
Washington
We got up pretty early, we're gonna spend two days in Washington. We bought the tickets online with the Megabus company. It takes four hours and the vehicles are great. We have to go to 34th St b/t 11th Ave and 12th Ave.
Today we start the shopping day, let's go to Knickerbocker Av, it's a commercial street in Brooklyn with clothes and shoes at a good price.
Knickerbocker Av.
