Day Three - Brooklyn Bridge, Soho, Tribeca, Columbia University, Riverside Park, Korean dinner

Another amazing day in THE city: Robin and me took the subway and actually left Manhattan to walk the Brooklyn Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

First glimpse at Manhattan bridge

We went to this park in DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass), which is between Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridge. It was absolutely amazing. I loved this place. The view was breathtaking, as you will see.

I love this picture. This is the Brooklyn bridge and the high rises at the southern tip of Manhattan

We do what every tourist has to do: we walk the bridge. However, not only tourists but also New Yorkers like this walk.

New York's town hall

Back in the financial district, I seized the oportunity to take a picture of this guy in a suite with coffee to go. Cliché ...

Again, the town hall

Food stand

I liked what they did with the "post no bills" message

It was so strange when I saw what was written here. First, Magna reminded me of Magna Steyr, an Austrian (?) company and Bergen reminded me of the Norwegian town Bergen. This place is in New Jersey, however.

Yes, fire escapes... on this narrow building, the Miró Café

Since I find shopping for clothes a nuisance, I felt attracted to this store

Entering the famous district of Soho (= South Houston, not pronounced like Whitney but rather "hauston")

Bloomingdales

We cross Wooster street.

I bought a ring from this artist


I managed to resist the temptation to buy a "friends" script

There it is, my new ring

In the subway going north to meet David and check out his university

You might have heard of it... Columbia University, very famous ivy league, breeding nobel prize winners. David is working on his PhD there. I am very envious!

The College of Wooster is quite nice but it doesn't compare to this

Crossing the street to go to Riverside Park

The Korean Restaurant right around the corner from Robin and David's apartment. I had never had Korean before and I loved it!

The food is being served in these hot pots. They are very, very hot. The food is still frying when you get it. This is what my dish looked like before ...

... and after I stirred it. I have no idea what it was called but I wouldn't mind eating it every day
