After a good fly, from Montpelier to New York via Orly, we arrived at JFk.

We waited a long time for the immigration desk. We picked up a yellow taxi, and arrived at home at 8 pm.

We discovered the neighborhood by night, and bought some fruits for the breakfast.

A good breakfast at home to face a long day.

Canola oil blend to cook free off fat!

An amazing experience into the Moma. It's a great place, 5 floors of galleries, we were surprised to find there a lot of paintings never seen before.

For lunch we chosen a coreen restaurant "Mandoo bar"

Walking along the 5th Avenue...

We walked still and always through west Manhattan, high line, general post office and finished in Time Square. We went back in subway.

After we walked to Chinatown, we found a tiny Chinese restaurant and ate a roasted duck with vegetables.

In a Chinese market we found ingredients for the dinner...

Before going back home, a good break with tea and coffee.

We went to Macy's for husband's trousers (Levi's 501, Dockers). We discovered the temple of fashion, biggest shop of the world.

After we went in B&H, temple of photography. We learned a lot with the specialist of Camera obscura, a French man fortunately!

We decided to find the best hamburger of NYC, it was in Corner Bistro.

In Greenwich Village

We continued shopping with Muji, not so much American! And went back with the subway, very tired after this long day.

On Saturday the subway is not as the others days, no express line, so we got the 2nd red one. We began with the Guggenheim museum after crossing the park.

We saw on our "cartoville New York" a recommandation for a Mexican restaurant: Maya. It was a brunch menu ad libitum, with small very tasty dishes.

During the afternoon we walked in Central Park and saw the life on Saturday.

The spring is arriving...

Back in subway

Again a good address from cartoville

The musical comedy was in an old theater
