Botanical Garden

Brooklyn Botanical Garden

June 7 I had went to a tour to The Brooklyn Botanical Garden. This Botanical Garden was founded in 1910 and is located in the Prospect park neighborhood. The Garden has 52 acres and around 12,000 of species between flowers and trees but it holds over 14,000 of plants. This is a very touristic area, around 900.000 visitors come to this garden at year.

The Brooklyn Botanical Garden is an urban garden dedicated to horticulture and all students can come and study the plants and make scientific researches. Its very conserved and the commune loves it.

The botanical garden changes season to seasons and each plant takes its own time to grow, to sprout, to fruit and to fade. This garden has evolved in response to the nature rhythms. The garden has two restaurants and we had the opportunity to eat in one of them, the restaurant we went is called Yellow Magnolia Canteen the prices were a bit high and the food has nothing in special.

The park is very clean and it has a lot of people who checks around the plants and the streets of the garden. It look to small compared to the one in the bronx but also i believe that this garden is more taken care of.

I love how the plats and the care of the exotic plants are still important for some people. This is one of the places I will always recommends to people and to family to visit. They can appreciate the colors and all different types of plats still exits thank to garden like this one.

Get your bike lets go take a bike ride. central park is now going carless so, safer for bikers and children.

Yes i do feel bad for the horses. The tourist really love the horse and carriage rides through the park and around the park in New York city manhattan..

Lets enjoy the music and the food.

I visited The National museum of the American Indian on a hot and sunny afternoon around 2pm.

On the side of the museum

The museum store. when you first walk in this is what you see. Beautiful plates and hand painted art.

I found this carved out sculpture to be very beautiful. Looks like an owl to me.

This is actually inside past the airport style medal detectors.Across the hall is the beginning of the exhibit. Consisting of only 2 floors.

This Rewe pole of the shaman reminded me of the one we saw in the MET.

This photo was taken in Chinatown between Canal Street and Baxter Street. An information booth. Information booths are very important for tourists. it is very convenient for tourists if they get lost and need a guide.

Museums are one of the many attractions that tourists come around the world to visit. MOCA is a museum that features mostly about Chinese history.

During my HMGT4988 ParksRec class, I was lucky enough to witness the beautiful Queens Waterfront and the one of the old landmarks “PepsiCola.” Queens Waterfront is one of the recreational spaces, it features a restaurant called Cofeed and open green-space (park).

Here is one of the limited food choices in Long Island City Landing called “Cofeed.” They sell different hamburgers and drinks. The boardwalk view is gorgeous.

As a New Yorker, I thought transportation is a very important aspect in our lives and having the opportunities to go from places whether if it is a ferry, or a bus, or an airway tram is a blessing. I was lucky to travel using the Queens Waterfront Ferry to Roosevelt Island.
