Rockefeller Center- Before the winter holiday

St. Patrick's Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. Patrick (commonly called St. Patrick's Cathedral) is a decorated Neo-Gothic-style Roman Catholic cathedral church in the United States and a prominent landmark of New York City. It is the seat of the archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, and a parish church, located on the east side of Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets in Midtown Manhattan, directly across the street from Rockefeller Center and specifically facing the Atlas statue.

World Trade Center

Just long 2 blocks away from the Freedom tower, lays sets of modern buildings along the river. The path along the river provides good place for leisure stroll or running. The restaurants provide a lot of outdoor setting give you an open view of the city and the skyline across the river.

The World Trade Center Transportation Hub

It was kind of odd to see a white bird shaped building in the middle of the 9/11 memorial and 1 trade tower.  It’s a train station and with all high-end stores nothing else.  Last time I was visiting 9/11 memorial in 2014.  It was not seen.  This year. It was stood there in a very odd place.  It’s name is The World Trade Center Transportation Hub, or World Trade Center for short.
