Good morning guys,
Like I promised in my previous thread, I will be visiting Rhode Island today. It’s 5:38AM here and I am not feeling sleepy again. I think I should get more sleep to prepare me for the 3 hrs journey.
BTW it’s going to be my first time to Rhode Island

Originalsly:


Stumbled on this thread like an hour ago. You were staying just 20 minutes away.... and I was off yesterday and today. Was thinking of linking up and let's roll a bit. Did you know you were just a few train stops from Luna Park?... the Amusement Park in Coney Island? Did you know when you got off the Brooklyn Bridge ... that World Trade Center was only an easy 15 minutes walk away?... and if you wanted to snap it just a 5 minutes walk? You went to Times Square... twice .... did you know Madison Square Garden is within walking distance?... and the Empire State Building ... Macy's are all within walking distance?... and if you're a Trump fan his Trump Tower is also within walking distance... opposite direction? If interested in history... Black History... should've hop on train or bus and ride up to Harlem... walk the streets that Muhammad Ali and soo many others walked... the Apollo Theatre where many legends shot to fame. Now you know better...... next time!... you
have just scratched the surface.

On the quote.... for anyone coming to NYC.... come with an open mind and not prejudiced. You said you felt unsafe ... but yet above ... you're on the train at 3:08 a.m. Didn't you feel unsafe?.. at that hour?... in the subway? ... in Brooklyn? Why not Uber? Anywhere in NYC there are gangs ... just like where you were staying... that's Mafia territory... used to be the Italian now the Russian mafia is dominant. Did you know that?... or you think because Whites are there it is all good? Latinos are right next door... las las .. were you attacked?... robbed? In general... people getting robbed on the street is not as common as one would be lead to believe. There is street code.
Lastly ..... didn't dodge .... let us know how much the wonderful breakfast cost.


Wow. I never knew these places were within my reach from Brooklyn bridge. NY is a very big tourist location and it’s impossible to see all the places in just 3 days. This is actually my NYC tour Part 1. I may revisit the city at a much later date after my Rhode Island, Baltimore and Las Vegas trip.
The place I felt unsafe was the Bronx. The guys I saw at the subway were looking scary with big muscles, heavy tattoo and making loud noise.

The driver stopped in Hartford, Connecticut to pick passengers. Some of the passengers are going to Boston so he’s gonna take them to Springfield to get a connecting bus to Boston.
The last bus stop is White River Junction, Vermont. That’s where I am dropping.
I’ve been on and off since we started this trip, sleep is seriously dealing with me. I can’t wait to get home, I need a long nice sleep.

I live in a 99% white state and I can categorically tell you how safe my state is. The Bronx is crazily unsafe even during the day. I was praying not to get robbed by the gang groups I was seeing. I was also trying to blend in by not taking many pictures so they dont notice the JJC I was to New York and Bronx.
