I only did a few thing like in 2012 – like today, I took a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, but this time from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Another thing which you should do, if you really wanna be in New York – if you want to feel it. The Brooklyn Bridge is a miracle to walk on. In Brooklyn, I took the subway to Williamsburg, where I met Michela and some of...

The other day, Michela told me, that unless the streets melt, it is not a real Summer vor a New Yorker. For me, coming form Hamburg/Germany, it is perfekt hot above 30 deg. Celsius – so – summer. After an unforgettable afternoon Downtown with Michela (See the photos of her shoot on arnevollstedt.com), we walked to Hudson River. It was warm, nice wind...

In the middle of Manhattan, between Times Square and the Grand Central Terminal, you find a “little” green peaceful spot, the Bryant Park, and it is behind the New York Public Library, which you shouldn’t miss either. In fact, this is the right way for a first NYC Visit: You take the Subway to Times Square 42nd Street and walk east, pass the Bryant...

Today, the Summer reached its Peak – Heat and humidity were making by body scream at every move. The other thing of course might be, that I am on my feet now for three weeks, a lot of miles for a couch potato. So, it amazed me, to see a crowd of New Yorkers working out in the public – uff. I walked slowly through the Meatpacking District, cooled myself...

With the right weather, you get cooked wherever you are – and today after my photosafari on the Manhattan Bridge (yep, no shadows whatsoever), I think I got sun stupid. However, I loved it, almost more than walking across the Brooklyn Bridge – you can celebrate New York AND you see it WITH the Brooklyn Bridge. So, you walk in the direction of Manhattan,...

In New York, you find something called Museum Mile – on the 5th Avenue, with the Guggenheim an the Metropolitan Museum of Art for example. Like every year, today was the Night of the Museums, the 5th Avenue between 82nd and 105th Street was for us the visitors, the people on their way to art and Music and fun, about 50.000 … Before that, I went to...

If you want to be close to Manhattan AND relax, there is not only the Central Park for you in New York. On Roosevelt Island, you can find a comforting bench in the shadow of a tree, and all that with a great view of the East River and Manhattan. A Picnic or a long walk at the riverside? Go for it! For me, the bench under the tree is not only for the relaxing time...

I missed it in 2012, and not for a bad reason. The Beach of Coney Island is really nice – the sea, the waves and sand, like home. And in my back the Luna Park – I can hear it, so this is everything together for a rest off the daily life? I got rid of my shoes and socks and stepped into the atlantic sea, and I listened. Yes, I grew up at the north sea,...

Like we see it in Hamburg/Germany, as soon as the artists have raised the value of an area, the rents go high, and the artists move to another area – it is the same here in New York. You can be sad about it, but maybe you shouldn’t … Today, I went to the Block Party in Bushwick, and I am still impressed by the creativity, not only of the art, they...

The fix point of my day was, again, Romeo and Juliet in the Central Park. I started my way at the north side of the Park, where the gentrification is just starting. It’s where Harlem begins, it is living at the Central Park, with no luxury. However, it was nice to take a walk there and I admire the great weather after the rain of the past days. After the...
