NY painted by Littlelle | Day 6 - Be New Yorker

O 6º e último dia serviu para apurar o ritmo acelerado da cidade e apreciar algumas das torres mais espectaculares de Nova Iorque (NY), que apresentam uma mistura arquitectónica ecléctica, deste um estilo mais clássico como a Beaux-Arts à Art Déco. Vale a pena passear pelas avenidas e ruas só para admirar edifícios emblemáticos como o Chrysler Building, a Central Station, Chanin Building, Daily News Building, o edifício das Nações Unidas ou simplesmente deambular pela 5ªAv. Andar de pescoço erguido a observar o topo dos edifícios não chega, quando conseguimos espreitar para dentro dos mesmos, os interiores são igualmente espantosos, exibindo entradas ricamente ornamentadas. 

The 6^th day, the last but not the least I hope so, served to quicken the pace of the city and see some of the most spectacular towers of New York (NY), which feature an eclectic mix architecture, from a more classic style like Beaux-Arts to Art Deco. It is really worth to walk through the avenues and streets only to admire the Chrysler Building, the Central Station, the Chanin Building, the Daily News Building, the United Nations Building or just wander around the 5^th Avenue. Walk upright to observe the top of the buildings it’s not enough, when we manage to look inside, the interiors are equally astonishing, displaying richly ornate entrances.

Para continuar ao ritmo de NY, deixo como sugestão para o almoço um real american hot dog no Bryant Park. Este parque fica adjacente à biblioteca pública de NY, que como não será de admirar está rodeado de arranha-céus por todos os lados. A passagem pela biblioteca pública, instalada num edifício estilo Beaux-Arts, é obrigatória para quem gosta de cultura e bibliotecas históricas.

To continue with the rhythm of the city, I leave you with a suggestion to lunch a real American hot dog at Bryant Park. This park is adjacent to the NY Public Library, which no wonder it’s surrounded by skyscrapers from all sides. Passing through the public library, installed in a Beaux-Arts style building, is mandatory for those who enjoy historical culture and libraries.

Da parte da tarde, a visita ao Museu de História Natural (Central Park West e 79 St., aberto das 10h - 17h45; Nycity pass) é ideal para aqueles que gostam particularmente de história, mas é igualmente interessante para qualquer pessoa, independentemente da idade. Ao entrar ficamos logo instantaneamente surpreendidos com o tamanho dos dinossauros no Hall de entrada. Este museu é um dos maiores museus de história natural do mundo e foi palco do filme "À noite, no Museu" de 2006. Alberga 46 salas de exposição, encontrando-se entre as principais atracções os  esqueletos de dinossauros, mamutes e baleia azul. Estando localizado mesmo ao lado do Central Park, no lado oposto ao MET, terminar o dia com um passeio relaxante por este fantástico parque será com certeza uma óptima ideia.   

In the afternoon, visiting the Natural History Museum (Central Park West and 79 St., open from 10am to 5.45pm; Nycity pass) is ideal for those who particularly like history, but is equally interesting to anyone, regardless of age. Upon entering we are instantly surprised with the size of the dinosaurs in the entrance hall. This museum is one of the largest natural history museums in the world and hosted the Night at the Museum movie in 2006. It features 46 exhibition halls, among the main attractions are skeletons of dinosaurs, mammoths and a blue whale. Being located right next to Central Park, on the opposite side of the MET, finishing the day with a relaxing stroll through this fantastic park will surely be a great idea.
