8r4d
Park Avenue

8r4d Just after we walked up Park Avenue out of Grand Central Terminal we were back at the hotel and the first Avengers film was of TV... and just a few minutes away from the scenes on this street. In that film the fictional Stark Tower was cgi'd over the Metlife Building (centre) and the maim battle with the aliens took place pretty much where we were standing in this pic. The iconic Avengers standing/crouching in a circle pose is just up on the bridge in the right of the frame. And this hippo may as well be painted green and stand in for the Hulk. #newyork

Sunday the 13th of November, 2022, at breakfast.

Line F

8r4d We got metro cards for the whole week and even though we've walked more than we've ridden on the Subway it's proven to be a key part of adventuring when we've needed it. #newyork

8r4d
Central Park Mall

8r4d Whenever you see it in a movie it's always a bustling Central Park scene where the protagonist's story reaches a dramatic conversational plot point. Today it was just raining and though we saw a couple soaked couples and at least three wedding parties, we also pretty much had it to ourselves. #newyork

Friday the 11th of November, 2022, deep after noon.

Wonderland, Central Park

8r4d Every time we've visited New York we've also visited the Alice statue in Central Park. It's strange how you gravitate to certain things when traveling. #newyork
