New York City second day by Niklas Lindskog

Hi!

Here's a short report from my second day in NYC, Thursday March 9th.

Travel log bullet points:

* Started the day by taking the subway to Astoria, Queens.

* Walked under the elevated railway at first before going first west and then east on Broadway which was perpendicular to the subway.

* Found a lively street called Steinway St and turned north.

* Got a great and healthy lunch at a Moroccan place when the neighborhood had turned arabic.

* Crossed the mighty Astoria Blvd and turned west again to reach the end of the subway line at Ditmars Blvd, in a greek area.

* Took two subway trains to Jackson Heights, where I went twice on my previous trip in 2017. Just as then, I concentrated my walk to Roosevelt Ave, but also went on som treks on side streets and parallell avenues. All the way,  Roosevelt Ave is mainly latino, but interestingly, just a block away on a side street it turned indian or chinese.

* Got the subway back in the evening. My friends.went to a party, so I had a quiet evening mostly by myself.


The photos in this blog are all from Astoria, I've saved the ones from Jackson Heights until later.

Hugs,

Niklas
