Día 3
Moulin rouge & times sq
19 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 10 °C
After our dinner we went to MOULIN ROUGE. I was so excited. We were in the back back row but it was amazing. I didn’t really have any expectations regarding the show, but it was above all that.

It was also the first time that one of the main characters was switched after the break because his voice couldn’t take it anymore. We got an understudy, but it was just as good.

After we were blown away from the show we went to times sq. It amazes me how different it is then during the day. All the lights are intens. We got really thirsty so we went to the nearest McDonald to grab something to drink. To discover that a large medium or small soda is only $1. I mean you’re paying $4 for a water, but soda is only one, no matter the size. America is weird you know.

After our confusion about the drinks we went back to the Airbnb. We walked, but we took an ally with a lot of bum. Which felt super uncomfortable, so we continued because there was no turning back, but stayed close. After we came out of the ally we almost all said together that we never taking that one again.

Weird how one ally can be/feel dangerous but the other one is just fine.

We ofcourse made it safe back to our Airbnb and got tucked in for a good night sleep.Leer más

Día 4
Dancing at broadway dance centre
20 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 8 °C
Anouk found a great place for some breakfast pancakes. Because who is going to America with having pancakes at breakfast right? So we decided to walk there, it was only a 30 min walk.

The plan of the day was follow some dance classes and soho. Since the others didn’t want to follow the same classes as I wanted we decided to split up again. I walked back because it was a 40/45 min walk and I had some time to kill. I love walking through a city alone. And I had some trust issues with the subway because that was the reason I couldn’t make it yesterday.

I stopped to grabbed a fresh smoothie because I was craving something ‘healthy’. But damn. That was not fun, it was nearly $10!? How is soda $1 and something good for your body $10???? I still can’t believe it.

Yesterday I already saw where bdc was located because it was next to the theatre of moulin rouge. I got in and waited for the class to begin. I was planning on doing theater jazz and jazz funk. Jazz funk was really something we in the Netherlands call commercial, but it was suuuuper fun. I really enjoyed the 3 hours of dancing. After that I grabbed a subway back to the Airbnb and grabbed a quick lunch (dunking donuts). To find that the others were already back and waiting for me. So I showered super quick, got dressed and we went straight to SOHO.Leer más

Día 4
Soho & stardust diner
20 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
When we arrived it was already 5 pm. We walked around for a little bit and saw some shops. I think soho and cons town were a really disappointment. Maybe I remembered it wrong from last time, I don’t know. Or maybe we were just a wrong time.

We ended up in a McDonald for something to drink and snack and to plan out our evening. I had one big bucket list thing I wanted to do: stardust diner. But it was already 7 PM. But we went anyways. There was a HUGE line outside with people waiting. I think we waited around 45 minutes. Which was pretty okay.

When we got in the theatre kid in me was awakened. It was amazing. The songs, the interior, the people. Everything. The food was also fine, but the entertainment was something else. Thankgod I got to hear defying gravity and some of my other favorite musical songs. We had a blast and stayed till 9:30 pm.

After that we returned to our Airbnb because we were tired of all the dancing and walking.Leer más

Día 5
Cycling through central park
21 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
It was the first morning we kind of slept in and got used to the time zone. We grabbed some coffee and breakfast at the supermarket/foodmarket and hopped on the subway too Central Park. We are our breakfast at a bench and discussing whether we wanted to hire some bikes to go through Central Park.

We found a ‘cheap’ one near Central Park and made our way over there. At 11:30 am we were biking through New York City. But jeez that’s something else then biking here in the Netherlands. We had to go through a bit of city before going in to Central Park. But that was THE scariest bike moment of my life. We had to go through a roundabout but there weren’t any biking lanes. So that was a disaster and a dangerous experience.

After we found our way in Central Park it was pretty easy and nice. Its all one way. The views were stunning and amazing. It was fall but not every tree was completely colorful. But I think that made it super nice. It was also still pretty hot.

We took a LOT of pictures and stopped for a hotdog and coffee.

It was a lot of biking but it was fun. When we returned the bikes (2:30 something ish) we grabbed something to eat again (I think McDonald but I really don’t remember).Leer más

Día 5
Roosevelt tramway
21 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
After our cycling we headed to the Roosevelt tramway. This was another one on my bucket list and I really wanted it to do it during sunset, because that would be so cool. It costed us nothing since we had the unlimited card for the subway. The views were absolutely stunning. It felt weird, but it was super amazing. This really was one of the highlights of our trip.Leer más

Día 6
Olive garden, dancing & yard house
22 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 9 °C
After the Roosevelt tramway we returned to time square around 6 PM. We kind of decided last minute that we wanted to do another dance class. So we decided to grab a quick bite at the Olive Garden, since we wanted to try that out. Well we (at least, I) am never going there again. I thought I would be nice, but I should've done a little bit more research, lol.

It was okay I guess, but not to grab a quick bite. It took forever. After our tummy was way toooo full
Anouk, Lize and I were going to BDC again. Thirza went to a coffee shop to read a book. Anouk and I did a really classic American style jazz class. Lize went for contemporary.

Afterwards we met up and decided to go out for another drink/beer. Wellll drinks are super expensive, of course everything is. But a beer was also around $10, without any tip. Well the beers were good tho. At 11:30pm we decided to walk to our airbnb.

sleep tight.Leer más

Día 6
Brooklyn flea, dumbo & foodmarkt
22 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
For breakfast we decided to get some dunkin donuts, since it was almost halloween we got some nice halloween themed ones.

At 10:30AM we decided to hop into a subway to Brooklyn. We heard there were some flea markets on Saturdays, so we wanted to check that out.
The weather was super nice, sunny and just chill, a good Saturday tho. We spend all morning walking through the neighborhood (which was actually involved in the years I hadn't been there, so I turned out nicer than I remembered).

The flea market was nice but can't be compared to the flea market at Waterloo plein tho. Didn't buy anything, but it was nice looking around.

We chilled a bit in the park underneath the Manhattan bridge, and found a food market and ordered some food. I really don't remember what I got, but I do remember sharing it with Lize haha. We ate our food looking on to the water which was super nice and quite relaxing. And really got hot outside sitting in the sun.Leer más

Día 6
Brooklyn bridge
22 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
We actually spend a lot of time in Brooklyn which was nice. At 3PM we went on to the Brooklyn bridge. The Brooklyn bridge was my favorite thing to do last time, but that made me really excited bout this one. But is was super crowded which made it kind of a disappointment. Next time I'm in NYC I really want to do it during sundown or sunset.

The views were nice, but the people not haha.
I took almost an hour to walk across it.

After we got back in Manhattan we hopped on a subway to grand station, because we didn't checked that one out yet and it was still on our list.Leer más

Día 6
Final evening
22 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
We arrived at 4PM at grand central, it was nice. Not that spectacular. I really remember that we were really exhausted and we had some time to kill. So we walked all the way back to the restaurant we were planning on eating. Lize had a lot of blisters starting from the 2nd day, but they really were super bad at this point.

We grabbed some coffee (cold brew foam, which is my new favorite) at times sq and were check on how to get to the restaurant. We actually wanted to do a Korean bbq but that got expensive really really fast. So we did found a burger tent to go to.

On our way there we stopped at the broadway store (dreamsssss), I really wanted everything they sold, but well yeah... I ended up getting a broadway sweater.

The restaurant we went to was pretty packed when we got there, so we had to wait a few minutes to be seated, which was okay. The people working there were awesome and super friendly. We def had a lot of fun with our waiter. Anouk got him to give us free beer. Which was super fun. We ended up with a free round of beer. It was a super chill final night. We made our way back through Times Square to squeeze in the final night. And stoped at some classics -- m&m store and the other chocolate company with Reeses and stuff. I really don't remember how it's called tho...Leer más

Día 7
MET
23 de octubre de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ 🌧 14 °C
After the start of the day including packing our suitcases and dropping them off in the luggage store. we went to time square. Only to find out that I had put my metro card in my suitcase, so we had to go back to the hotel, whoops. We grapped some breakfast at Applebees, which I also remembered as really good from last time but it wasn't lmao. It was fine tho but my expectations were definitely higher.

After breakfast we split up again. After I got back from last nyc trip I discovered I missed out on something BIG. The metropolitan museum of arts, especially with my interest in greek/egypt mythology this is THE museum to go to. Sadly the other didn't want to join because they wanted to go to MOMA, which is a modern art museum. I actually really liked going alone to the museum, I've never done that before here back in NL, but it was something else! I loved how I could just go at my own speed and just stop how ever long I wanted to. Which was really great. I spend a lot of time in MET. I arrived at 11:30AM and stayed till 2:30PM. It was so big and beautiful. And I only really saw the greek/roman section and the Egyptian section of it. But I was quite done with it after that. Enough information of the day.Leer más
