The rest of the day I spent mostly walking through Manhattan. It was really warm (70° Fahrenheit, i.e. 21°C). I was not the only one wearing only a T-Shirt. Welcome to New York, climate change.
I’ve been into the “world’s largest bookstore” (a bit disappointing, I’m sure Dussmann in Berlin and Morawa in Vienna are much bigger).
In Greenwich Village I’ve seen the building with the “Friends Apartment” –but only some external shots were filmed in New York, Friends was all filmed on sets in Los Angeles.
Another movie set in New York is “Home Alone 2” (in German “Kevin allein in New York”). Here you see the bridge where Kevin first met the pigeon lady, in the background you can see The Plaza hotel, where Kevin McAllister checked in (more information on movie locations).
Other film locations in Home Alone 2 are the ice skating rink in Central Park…
… and the Christmas Tree in front of the Rockefeller Center.
Christmas markets in the States are obviously sponsored by big companies…
This was New York. In the evening I boarded an Iceland Air plane, to fly back via Reykjavik.
Offenbach is also ugly seen from above…
After exactly five months, I’m back in Frankfurt.
Parents, brother, cheese and black bread are waiting for me.
