Driving all the way from Pensylvania to New York in good autumn weather. Under low price of crude oil infuluence ?? Gas price was almost half as much as one in Japan.
Here in Manhattan it's still in a boom in building construction. Tall buildings increases whenever I stop by. In particular there are many high-class apartments and property prices in prime locations are getting higher and higher !
建築ラッシュなマンハッタン。高級億ションビックリ価格。
And it makes the price of real estate in other side of river higher, too.
Instead, in both New Jersey side - Hoboken or Union City- and Booklyn side the crime rate is lower than it used to be and it makes them easy places in which to live.
マンハッタンが高騰して川の向こうの周囲の不動産価格も上昇。反面、治安も改善されつつある。
Be that as it may many of classic buildings are carefully conserved without teardown.
Bouchon Bakery's cookies! We should've brought back with us more.

Dry aged prime rib of Peter Luger Steak House since 1887. It tastes as good as I thought. They know the best way to serve meet !

I was also surprised we saw such rare stuff in NYC !
ニューヨークでほおずき発見。
There's a my favorite place called "the High Line" It's a park and stores "Chelsea Market" on an elevated section of a disused rairoad withought reconstructions. There we can enjoy some updated restaurants and food stores. This is a typoical one, "Beyond Sushi NYC - The Green Roll"
Lobster sandwitches at The Lobster Place. Clam chowder was good.
ロブスターサンドは値段が高い。クラムチャウダーのほうが美味しいし・・・
After walking the High Line park we passed down through the big building to the street we saw the bag dispay on a shelving unit occupying one huge wall. It ws the headquater of "Coach" as we found out soon after.
The next day it was a bummer at the night ! The center of Manhattan are were was inundated with many of NYPD officers, presspeople and curious crowd. Sidewalks were flooded with such people and we took so long to get to the subway station. After I got back in our hotel in Long Island, we tuned into TV programs covering the elections and they are all reporting "unexpected happening".
