    I absolutely love New York, favourite places I found where, Eataly by the Flatiron Bld, The Vessel at Hudson Yards, Chelsea Market, walked up and down Central Park, with realising how bloody long it was, Academy Records on 16th, the high line was cool. Ate at Del Fresco's and Gallaghers both very good food and hopefully return next year. Such a vibrant city to walk about, when you set foot in NYC you feel the energy rising up through your feet... another great vid but we need more, not daily more maybe one a week. Informative and a touch of humour..

    addition for your spiel... the stone for the towers of the BB was quarried from an island off the coast of Maine (Vynilhaven), and back in the day when the bridge first opened children were taught to happily point to this fact with the following saying: "from the vowels of Vynilhaven to the consonants of Brooklyn and Manhattan."

Can you suggest literature from where you learn stuff like this? (Architecture books?) I love New York history, so I would really appreciate it if you can suggest something good (something from where you learn for your tour guide certificate). P.S. I'm a student from Croatia and my dream is to come and see Big Apple, although I don't see it in the near future, so some great literature would do its job!
