I ♥ NY






This is Grand Central Terminal and also the place the first scene of 'Gossip Girl' was taken. Yes, I still like high school drama. Doesn't it mean I am still young enough to be addicted teenager drama?






Except 'Gossip girl' story, Grand Central Terminal was exquisite.










One piece of 3$-New York pizza was enough to be my holy bread.



Korean Embassy which was located one block before United Nations




This building didn't look like United Nations. We would have doubted about that if we had not seen some flags in front of this building.










Who is the current Secretary-General of the United Nations now?
'Ban Ki-Moon'
What is his nationality?
'The Republic of Korea' or 'South Korea'
He is the first Asian chief of the UN.






























The flag of South Korea was together with the flag of North Korea.











UN Tour was recommendable.












This is UN General Assembly. If there is a meeting at tour time, visitors are not allowed to visit this place. Fortunately, we could see the place.














































































On construction the new building in substitute for collapsed World Trade Center.












We could see many people around World Trade Center because it was near Wall-Street. It just reminded me of a subway station in Seoul.





























It is the memorial for people who died at 9/11 terror.











































































We went to Soho to see live music performance. The name of club was 'The Bitter End' Tomomi said this club was famous though it looked small and not that fancy. But, many famous musicians including Norah Jones used to sing this place. When we went there, there were an event for young musicians named 'Song writes circle'
So, we could listen to many songs of several young musicians. They explained about why they wrote the song first, what is the meaning of the song name, and then they sang in turns. They played irregular style of music which was unique, fresh and interesting. It was our first time to take a rest since we came to New York because we had to go around a lot, and finally we could enjoy music sitting on the chair with some beers. It was literally a heaven on earth.
