New York, the city that never sleeps. I am so impressed by this city and decided to go in NY one more time. As usual, early in the morning on Saturday my friends and I took a train to the Grand Central Station.  

We came to Central Park to look at the biggest lake there. The park is incredibly big, you should observe it for a week to see all places. We walked for 1 hour, but we found only a few small lakes, but they were extremely beautiful. One of them was near the big mediaeval castle. From the castle's terrace you can see excellent view down the park. Near another lake you can rent a small rowing boat. There was a line to rent a boat, everyone wanted to be closer to water on a hot day.  

Then we went to the Central Park Zoo. I saw this zoo in the Madagascar cartoon, so I was expected to see Marty the zebra, Alex the lion, Melman the giraffe and Gloria the hippopotamus. But unfortunately none of them were there. We saw beautiful parrots, ducks, lemurs, fur seals and many others.  

After that we came to Brooklyn by subway to find some places with great views. And we found a few! 

On the way back to Manhattan we took a ship. It was sunset, we took a lot of beautiful pictures. But we needed to hurry up, because we had at least two places to visit. We went to the Rockefeller Building to see my lovely city from the roof top. I blew the breath of delight. A lot of skyscrapers, Empire State building, Chrysler building and all city were plainly visible. Everything was shining, dozens of cars rushed along the streets. We were not allowed to stay there more than 15 minutes. We took some photos and went back to the street. 

We directed our steps to Times Square. A lot of lights, commercials and, of course, people were there. Everybody wanted to take a photo with Spiderman or Buzz Lightyear from the Toy Story. There were so overcrowded and loud. Anyway, I liked it! 

Next day we went to the Roosevelt Island Tramway, we took round trip just to see great views. We saw lots of flats with river view from the huge windows, it is the flat of my dream!

  

Then we came to the High Line Park. It is the linear park built on a section of the elevated former New York Central Railroad spur called the West Side Line, which runs along the lower west side of Manhattan; it has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway. It is so great to walk through the green park, but see the rail road on the ground.  

After the long walk we went to the famous American restaurant Katz's Delicatessen, that was open in 1888. We tried the classic Pastrami sandwiches. That was so delicious! 

Unfortunately, our weekend ended, and we took a train back to New Haven.
