iwannagothere.com This is travel, not tourism

Adriii finaly got the time to do her long-time expected train-trip through the north-east coast of the United States… and she is telling us about her journey!

There are a few “oasis” in the skyscrapers jungle of New York. Obviously the Central Park is the biggest one but I’ve already talked you about the uniqueness of Bryant Park, the many things to do at Battery Park, the views at the East River Park (both Brooklyn and Manhattan sides), the River Terrace Park and the street art at the Washington Park.

But I have another peaceful place that is not a park: Columbia University. For me, this is a mandatory visit when being in New York: the buildings, the history, the atmosphere… I’d even recommend you to go inside the Library if you have some time to spare.

Another must-visit is the Flatiron Building. Probably you’ve seen it in pictures but it’s so amazing when you’re there… It’s incredible how a simple lot problem can become a great building as this one is.

My next post is going to be all about Central Park so let’s walk towards to it and make a first stop at the San Remo Apartments. You might see famous people when being around this building. The two towers are a very recognizable landmark of the city, especially when you’re inside Central Park.
Also, next to it, you’ll find the Dakota, the famous hotel where John Lennon was shot. City all reserved a spot inside Central Park, just in front of the Dakota, to commemorate Lennon.
