Pictures from my NYC Trip ( 56 K WARNING )

Sign in to disble this ad
I spent a week in New York this month ( 2-9th ) and I've finally uploaded most pics. I've got 1890 pics so far and I'm still waiting for some...(about 400 )

6 people = 6 cameras and a video camera

It was my first trip to New York and I must say I really enjoyed every minute of it and I will definitely visit the Big Apple again...





Empire State Building Observatory




Random shots of Manhattan











Times Square



Brooklyn












Staten Island





I'll post more tomorrow

i was in new york not too long ago myself
my first time as well
i treated myself to guitar center in manhattan and i found an aguilar db 410 for 400$.
my jaw dropped to the floor instantly
i would have bought it on the spot but i took a bus there, and had no way to get it back
so i call them the next day when i got home
checked in to get it shipped to montreal
worked everything out with my funds, called to see what was up the next week and they sold it

i missed out on such a good freaking deal
im so upset


but, to get back on topic, i loved new york hahaha
fun city

What...no trip to 48th Street? I mean it's not what it used to be but a TB'er has to make a pilgrimage.

He went to the International GTG and won a beautiful Valenti. 48th St. would almost have been a letdown after that.
