Sunday in the City

This cold, windy day I walked in the Park, right behind my current apartment building.

Central Park is a typical place to go on a Sunday for many New Yorkers, at least that's what I discovered today. Running, biking, walking the dog, playing rugby, soccer or cricket, all of this I saw happening in the Park today.

The nice ice ring sponsored by Trump is already in use and some groovy music kept the crowd moving around. A hot chocolate and hot dog warmed me up a little bit. Also a wedding and even some photoshoots were going on in the green city lung that was transforming from autumn to winter outfit as you can see on the pictures.

As part of getting to know the City I spent my evening at Madison Square Garden to see an NBA game: the NY Knicks against the Dallas Mavericks, theoretically an easy game for the Knicks. The show was great and the basketball exciting.

What a great experience the Americans can make out of an ordinary basketball game, including tv-commercial time-outs!
By the way, "Magic Johnson" was one of the VIP visitors this evening, he's still a very tall guy...

After 4 regular periods of 12 minutes the game went into a five minute overtime in which Dallas was the best...or was NY screwing up?!

Anyway, let's say didn't play their best ball in the overtime and they lost, because of missing almost all shots..!

Despite the loss of the Knicks I had a great evening, sitting next to a real estate broker and a NY fire fighter. DEFENSE!!

The score after 4 periods....
