Do you like to ride your bike on the streets of New York? How about doing that naked (or almost) . Some people do just that, as part of a protest movement called World Naked Bike Ride. Here’s a few images from the assembly point in Brooklyn, from the 2010 ride.

Today I will show you a few images from Roosevelt Island, as some call it the best kept secret of Manhattan. Technically, from the organizational point of view, this is also Manhattan. Islanders can travel to Manhattan by subway or by the newly renovated cable car (tram) , which is also a Manhattan tourist attraction.

One of the newest parks in Manhattan is High Line Park . Somebody had an interesting idea to transform an old rusty railroad track into a place for recreation. You can see the result below.
One Sunday afternoon early this spring, we took a walk through the city, ending at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Part of the “museum mile” (as the name says, a mile of 5th Ave in Manhattan, full of museums) the Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the biggest museums of the world. Thousands of tourists and locals (like us) visit this every day. The place is huge, so it’s good idea to focus on a small section per visit, and come back for more next time. So we settled on the Greek and Roman Art gallery, and the result of our visit can be seen below.
