Man står aldrig tidligt op på en søndag - heller ikke i New York..
Så ved en 10tiden var vi ude af døren, og på vej hen for at finde et sted at spise søndagsbrunch.
Det første sted meldte 25 minutters ventetid, og det tænkte vi var lidt for alvorligt, men da vi fandt ud af at det var samme melding næste sted, måtte vi jo bare vente.
Et kvarter efter fik vi plads, og det var ventetiden værd!
Ukrainsk brunch bestående af dumplings med røget laks og eggs benedict - også med røget laks (man er vel dansker) ;-)
I den lille time vi brugte på at spise var der konstant folk som ventede på bord - det er åbenbart lidt en New Yorker-ting at gå til søndagsbrunch med venner eller familie. - god tradition..
Og her kommer så dagens name dropping af seværdigheder som vi fik set i løbet af dagen:
- Brooklyn Bridge
- The Charging Bull
- 9/11 Memorial
- One World Trade Center
- Statue of Liberty (fra færgen til Staten Island)
- Battery Park
- National Museum of the American Indian (spontant besøg)
Ud af det mange vil jeg fremhæve 9/11 Memorial som var både meget flot og bevægende at besøge.
Desuden kan jeg give jer et lille tip hvis man gerne vil se Frihedsgudinden, men ikke vil betale omkring 1-200kr for det:
Tag færgen til Staten Island - den er gratis, og sejler lige forbi :-)

Sundays are not for getting up early - that goes for NYC too..
So around 10ish we were ready to get out, and look for a place to have Sunday brunch.
The first place had a 25 minute wait, which we thought was a bit too much, but when we found out that the next place had the same, we decided to just go for it.
15 minutes later we had a table, and it was worth the (short) wait!
Ukrainian brunch with smoked salmon stuffed dumplings and eggs benedict - also with smoked salmon (Danish people I guess)..
During the hour we spent enjoying our meal and coffee, there was always people in line to get a table - apparently it is a bit of a New York tradition to go out for Sunday brunch with friends or family. - A very good tradition!
And here we go with the name dropping of sights we visited during the afternoon:
- Brooklyn Bridge
- The Charging Bull
- 9/11 Memorial
- One World Trade Center
- Statue of Liberty (from the Staten Island Ferry)
- Battery Park
- National Museum of the American Indian (spontaneous visit)
Out of the many I must say that 9/11 Memorial was really great. It was both beautiful and very moving.
And if you have any plans of going to see the Statue of Liberty, but don't feel like paying around 20-30$ to do so, here's a little tip:
Take the Staten Island Ferry - it's free, and sails right by it :-)
