This firehouse was used in the movie 'Ghostbusters'. It still is (and was back in 1984) a fully operational firehouse.

Playing tourist
When I moved to New York my parents told me that I should try to see as much of the city as possible, because you never know how long you will stay there. Up until now I have seen quite a lot of the city, but I think there is still a lot of stuff I didn't see just yet. Today I did something very touristy. I joined a bustour with On Location Tours. I chose the 'New York TV and Movies sites' tour. This morning at 11 I got on the bus and we were driven around the city for 3.5 hours to see various places. I was actually a nice tour. The thing I liked the most is that you get to see a lot from the city and from a whole other perspective then when you are walking the streets (that's what I always do). I had seen most of the streets we drove before, but it's fun to hear that this apartment was used in that movie or that this restaurant was used in that TV serie, etc. And since it was raining a lot today I couldn't have picked a better day!

Cool pics Nellies, and what an ingenious idea to do the tour - I would love to do that tour!! Many touristy things can be very informative as well as entertaining not to mention just a bit of good old fashioned fun.
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done with you blog layout.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a nice tour, I like it to see those locations.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to take a tour of tv & movie sites. I'd love to know where else you went.
ReplyDeleteWat leuk Nellie, zo kan je een hoop aan ons laten zien en New York heeft zoveel.
ReplyDeletehaha, funny!
ReplyDeletebut i guess i will never take a bustour, i really dont like them... :)
Once upon a time I took bus tours to get oriented to a new city. Now I just bumble along by myself.
ReplyDeleteWow, I would so love to do that too... loving the ruby red door and the close up.
ReplyDeleteI took a bus tour around London my first time. Big Red Bus tour. It oriented me, and gave an overview. By the afternoon (when I had had a gutful of being talked at) I got off, and did the rest myself.
ReplyDeleteI like the name of this fire station. In the Little Golden Book of "Fire Engines" they have a great big hook and ladder truck, which my grand-daughter adores.
