Autumn in New York

Marathon, bagels, coffee, sun and fun

By Kira Laktionov

Start

The first day started with a couple of bagels and coffees for breakfast. Afer that, we went up hill and down dale, moving in the direction of downtown, changing avenues block by block.

Autumn has conquered Manhattan and painted it with all the bright colors.

Although it was Thursday, the city didn't seem to be very busy.

This attention to details :)

The closer to Downtown, the busier streets are.

High Line, of course!

Following, Chelsea market.

Morning in central park

Next day, while Paul was jogging, I scouted the sunny park.

Brunch in Murray's Bagels (Thirteenth & Sixth), who had the best buns out of all we tried.

We could not stand but take pictures of the food everywhere! (No more pictures of food below :))

downtown

South Ferry, Battery Park and Financial District.

one world trade center

The tallest building on the island and amazing Santiago Calatrava's Oculus.

Striking feelings near the 9/11 Memorial. As Paul said, Americans, like no other nation, can keep and exalt memory.

new york marathon

One of the most exciting and emotional events during the trip.

At home, Amine played a whole saxophone performance.

After six hours, the runners were still on the move. Outstanding support of other new-yorkers!

post-marathon relax

Walks in Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Brooklyn Heights, Williamsburg and SoHo. Bagels, coffee, hipsters, burgers, hasids, beer, truffle fries and Jazz.
