Finally appreciating the city we are leaving, new york

Magnificent pics.

I can't stop thinking about the guy selling Chestnuts and NY Pretzels. I used to love buying them on a cold winter day in NYC. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for your comments. I need to stop depending on Auto, and then complaining because it does not make magic.

As nice as the Cloisters is it isn't worth that price of admission. I remember going there many years ago and I think we got in for free.

As a kid I lived near the Bronx Zoo, we used to climb a fence to get in there.

Don't forget everything is so much more expensive these days. I remember spending $10 for a carton of cigarettes and today that's what 1 pack costs.

Wonderful pictures, thanks for sharing! I think zoos should be less money, I know they are costly to maintain though but some are too pricey.

oooh man the bronx zoo was rediculious. an all attraction ticket is 27.00 per adult and 12 bucks to park....... 15 in tolls , 10 in gas... we are good for 100 bucks just going for 2-3 hours

I was thinking the same thing. As a non-city type, waaaaay too many people and too much visual background noise to process day to day with no relief.

But, the pics themselves are really very nice.
