If you visit NYC that's a place to walk around. 42nd street is also walkable from Broadway and 68th Street. 42nd Street has been cleaned up a great deal during the Giuliani Administration.

I did in May 2002...


Me looking at Queensborough Bridge from Riverview Terrace (Sutton Sqaure/FDR Dr)


Me at Central Park


Me in front of Flat Iron Building (just two blocks from our place Madison Ave/27th east)

I also know 42nd very well, have been there every day...

...in the world biggest internet cafe, right beside to Madame Tussaud´s

As my father lived in the States in 1962 in Miami and NYC, I was following his tracks in 2001 (Miami) and 2002 (NYC), visiting the same places he has been and comparing the pictures from 40 years later.
