My Trip to New York Summer 2015

This is my first entry at medium, I hope to deliver my story to everyone with lots of pictures. So I have traveled from Houston to NYC for a #smashingconf in June. Arrived late at night the weekend before the conference, went straight to bed since I had a long work day at the office and then the flight.

So the next day my friend Anar (@anarakhund)and Nigar (@fatalin) showed me New York’s coolest places.

Woke up in the morning took the train to go see the NYSE and the #bull. We have arrived a cool looking subway station. That has a little european touch to it.

Next stop was by the NYSE.

After that we proceeded to the 9/11 Memorial. I have been in your in the past when there was no building, back in 2005, so now I wasnted to see what has changed.

So in the evening after walking around we went to Azerbaijani Restaurant in Brooklyn called Old Baku. I felt like I was back home. Waiter approached us and asked in Azerbaijani language about what we would like to eat or drink. So since I haven’t had a lot of these things in a long time. I order a lot of delicious things, pickled vegetables, kutabs, sach kebab etc.

Next day I had to move into my hotel Yotel. It was a really modern hotel, with a pretty good view for $239.

Interesting statues inside the hotel.

And then there was NYC, famous Times Square.

Macys and H&M Stores. #macys #h&m

My Favorite Flatiron Building ( 175 5th Ave, New York, NY 10010)

Evening ended at Bark Hot Dogs. (474 Bergen St, Brooklyn, NY 11217)

Next Day was lots of photos.

Russian Samovar. Pretty good location, very expensive and not really that delicious. Lunch for two people about $129.

After the long day came back to the hotel and this guy :)

Next Day I took a walk on the 5th Avenue. Tiffany & Co. The Cool Apple Store.

Next Destination was Central Park

Of Course I had to get some gifts for my people in Houston. So we headed to Little Italy.

So then We Continued exploring Manhattan’s Lower East Side.

Next picture is something really interesting as Nigar was telling us. This is an abandoned building that someone bought back in the day, and it is only one family living there. Address is 190Bowery. If you want to read about it (http://ny.curbed.com/tags/190-bowery)

Little Gratify on the way.

Some Street Art. Really Cool

And something really interesting on the street of NYC.

And the last photo is already in the airplane. BTW all the photos were taken with iPhone 6.
