New York...all emotions are passing by!

The 9/11 museum: The National September 11 Memorial & Museum is a memorial and museum in New York City. It is commemorating the September 11 attacks of 2001, which killed 2,977 people. Make a reservation in advance to be sure you can visit the Museum. Be aware that this visit will be very emotional!

Ground Zero: The World Trade Center site, often referred to as "Ground Zero" or "the Pile" immediately after the September 11 attacks, is a 14.6-acre area in Lower Manhattan in New York City. The site where the Twin Towers stood until two planes crashed into them on Sept. 11, 2001, sending them tumbling to the ground, looks quite different from how it did two decades ago. It provides history, education, and a quiet place of reflection. There is no cost to visit Ground Zero.

A stunning subway experience: Showing the true spirit of New York is the new and improved transportation hub in the lower Manhattan. Built on the site of the fallen World Trade Centre: The Oculus NYC Transportation Hub.

Free kayaking and wine and dine at the Hudson: One of the most happening of piers along the river is Pier 26 at Hudson River Park. The pier offers visitors a City Vineyard restaurant, lounge areas, a Tide Deck, sports field, free kayaking, and some of the best views of the NYC skyline. So take your paddle!

High society public bathroom for free in Bryant Park: The 310 square foot luxury bathroom is worth a visit! It is plated in Spanish and Italian tiles and houses fresh flowers. Lets you listen to classical music and gaze at museum-worthy artwork while you do your business. It also has attendants stationed in the facility, who will be cleaning it each day. Even the toilets are fancy. Each is installed with electronic seat covers that change with every flush. Enjoy ;-).

New York
What a wonderful day in New York City. The weather was magnificent and we started our day in Soho and visited the wonderful bookshop Mc Nally Jackson on Prince Street. Our own Dutch actor Michiel Huisman was represented on a cover of a trendy magazine. We had to make a picture of that! Prince Street is such a nice street. We liked the atmosphere and by chance we came across Ladurée on 396 West Broadway, including the Salon de Thé with the best macarones. In the courtyard it almost seemed like we were in Paris. We had a business meeting while enjoying the delicious macarones and had a perfect cup of tea. We took the subway back to Bryant Park. What a fantastic park. Everybody was sitting on the grass or at a table having lunch, drinking coffee or having a break. A vibrant park! New York is truly our favorite metropolis.
