🗽 New York City Walk: Collecting Joy in Manhattan 🌇

New York Public Library 📖 → Times Square 🎖️ → Rockefeller Center 🌺 These three iconic spots are conveniently close to each other. Park nearby at SP+ Parking, and you can reserve a spot in advance on Google Maps for around $40 for 12 hours – perfect for a full day of sightseeing before heading back to your car. New York Public Library 📖 The first impression is like a Galison puzzle – there’s even a snow-covered library scene. The Rose Main Reading Room is stunning, with its beautiful dome and floor-to-ceiling windows. The atmosphere is just magical! 🎢 There are guided tours at 1:30 PM and 3:00 PM. While visiting, I couldn’t help but compare it to UCL’s library, which is also quite beautiful. I bought some souvenir postcards and even got them stamped with the lion seal. 🍃 After the library, it’s just a short walk to Times Square. The bustling energy in the sunlight is full of life, with plenty of trendy shops to explore. I had pre-booked a ticket for Top of The Rock around 6 PM to catch the sunset and the night view from the top of Rockefeller Center. It’s about an 8-minute walk from Times Square. On the way, I passed by Ichiran Ramen and indulged in a bowl of warm ramen. 🍜 🌸 After a satisfying meal, I headed to the top to wait for the sunset and chat with friends. The fully glassed-in observation deck is perfect for photos. It gets a bit chilly at night, so be prepared to wait in line when heading down. 💛💛💛 ICHIRAN Ramen NY Times Square 🍜 📍 152 W 49th St, New York, NY 10020 #DailyPlog 📝 #NotebookInspiration 🌟
