Betancourt E.

These are the famous stairs where the Joker movie scene was filmed . We went all the way up to the top and back down to the bottom, this is definitely a very unique place as it is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood here in the Bronx , New York . Definitely worth a trip

My brother stacks stones. It's a thing he does when we travel and he did it when we traveled to a…read morefew of Maine's beaches this year. So I was a little prepared for this interesting art spot that is maybe a quarter or half mile south of the Little Red Lighthouse along the Hudson River in Fort Washington Park. These stacks are made from local rock, a type called Manhattan Schist. They seem to be ideal for stacking as they have square edges and flat sides. This phenomenon apparently started in July 2017 and were initially the work of Uliks Gryka, who was inspired to create them after noticing the medley of rough, jagged rocks strewn about the shore. With the Midtown skyline way off in the distance on a clear day, you could almost imagine that these stacks - some five or six rocks tall! - could be skyscrapers themselves. I wouldn't recommend starting stacking stones - it's quite habit forming to see how many you can stack successfully before they tumble like a heavier version of Jenga. And be warned - the existing stacks are not glued or cemented in place. They can fall (on you!) at any time. Best to observe from a few feet away. They're about level with 171st Street if it continued west to meet the Hudson (which it obviously doesn't). [Review 15649 overall - 246 in New York - 1153 of 2021.]

This is one of the coolest little secret spots in NYC! Stacking stones exists all over the world,…read morefrom Ireland to Sint Maarten, but this spot is just north of all the main attractions of Manhattan. There are about two dozen of these stacks and they look great with the panorama of the GW bridge behind them.

Just Go (#8) Oooooh,…read moreNew York! There's nothing you can't do, Big lights will inspire you Let's hear it for New York... Visited NYC twice, first time was in 2012 and again in 2018... both were just day trips, part of our East Coast itinerary. Yup, never stayed overnight in New York, just drove in from nearby Rhode Island, our home base. My hubby lived in New York when his family migrated to the U.S. from the Philippines so he knew his way around NYC neighborhoods: Upper, Lower, Midtown. I remember we drove around Manhattan and Times Square and I said "oh wow, it's like driving in San Francisco." I'm so glad my hubby's got skillz driving through cities like these (especially through Holland Tunnel... cars everywhere!) His experience was driving in SF. LoL! Since our time was limited we visited a few of the tourist landmarks: Empire State Building Observatory [ESB] - we paid for a standard ticket to take us to the 86th floor of this amazing skyscraper and view the New York skyline. It was a little foggy but the sunshine peeked from the skies. The views from the top were amazing and from there we circled around the observation deck and I asked my husband... "okay, what am I looking at?" LoL! Visitors can pay a little more to go to the top deck on the 102nd floor observatory but we said 'nah'. The ESB is located in Midtown Manhattan. My first time riding the NY subway... we may have missed our stop and got off on 86th Street to visit our second iconic landmark... The Metropolitan Museum of Art (or "the Met") - wow! this museum is H-U-G-E! It is just impossible to see everything at the Met in one day. The museum has over two million works of art. I was "art overloaded" after 3 hours and I was hangry. We barely made a dent on our tour as we spent most of our time at the Egyptian Art which alone has 26,000 pieces and we lost track of time... this museum would have to be revisited on another trip. Saw Lady Liberty from a distance when we boarded a sightseeing cruise... she's much larger than the version I saw in Pont de Grenelle when I was in Paris France. Times Square was cool! So this was where the wild partying come together during the New Year's Eve ball drop. We traversed and did a little exploring in Times Square until show time at the Majestic Theater and watched a classic, "Phantom of the Opera." We also watched a play at the Snapple Theater. Second visit was a different experience... when we returned in 2018 for another day trip and we made sure to visit: 9/11 Tribute Museum and the National September 11 Memorial Museum... a poignant experience as we saw remnants of one of the towers. Statue of Liberty at Liberty Island - this time we were able to set foot on the island and enjoy a self-guided tour and climb the steps to the pedestal... so cool to see Lady Liberty up close. Ellis Island Immigration Museum - we continued our tour of Ellis Island from Liberty Island. Angel Island in San Francisco would be the counterpart in the West Coast. Thank you, Great State of New York! Oh, we got a nice surprise in the mail when we returned home... we received a violation ticket for making a right turn on a red light... yeah wish we could've fuhgeddaboudit! ¯\_('~')_/¯ Review #2433

The state has advocated for a lot of things that are important to me. At times I find New York a head of the times and at other times things can be archaic. It's very costly to live here. New York City alone lost 2 million residents during the pandemic. Everyone moved out! I really don't know if I can recommend you live here but it's a great place to vacation or have a part time residence, if you can afford it! Happy Thanksgiving from New York State. Thanks May!
