Our second complete day in New York started off pretty slowly. Got up a little late, ate some cereal/crackers with cheese for breakfast, and went to the local laundromat to clean clothes. The lady running the place were helpful, but didn't think we were very economical (using a $5,50 machine when all we needed was a $1,99). But in the end we got outselves some clean clothes.
We didn't really have anything big planned for the early afternoon so we took the subway to Time Square and planned to have no plans. Time Square is as american as you can get it. Large, oversized video billboards advertising everything from new tv shows, movies and all kind of merchendise. We even got to see a live performance by N.E.R.D. (Pharrel Williams' group) - the performed at the middle of Time Square as part of some Honda campaign. After checking that out we pretty much wanted to walk around for some hours getting the feel of Manhattan. We saw Rockefeller Plaze, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Terminal, Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, The New York Public Library and SO much more. At the end we chilled down at a bar waiting for the hockeygame we were going to at night.
The hockeygame was pretty intense. The New York Rangers beat their big rivals the New Jersey Devils 4-3 in overtime - and we even got to watch Mats Zuccarello Aasens debut in the NHL. He did alright without making a real difference. But I think we all thougt it was pretty fun watching a game of hockey at Madison Square Garden - the self-titled "most famous sports arena in the world".
After the game we walked over to Empire State Building and took the elevator up to check the view. Pretty spectacular...
