The SeaGlass Carousel If there’s any one thing that you need to check out when you're visiting Battery Park City in Manhattan,, let it be the SeaGlass Carousel. Whether as a treat for your kids, or simply to marvel at it yourself. The carousel is made of 30 fiberglass fish that seem to magically go around inside a glass and metal chamber. Because it doesn’t have a pole in the centre of the carousel, what gives it its fluid movement are moving floor panels, with some well-choreographed light and music for an immersive underwater effect. RegardsInterestingly, the New York Aquarium, which is now located on Coney Island, was originally opened here in 1896. _______________ All within your reach 🇺🇲 #allwithinyourreach @thebatterynyc #thebatterynyc @seaglasscarousel #seaglasscarousel @nycgo #seeyourcity _______________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _______________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #glowingfish #carousel #fish #ThingsToDoInNYC #FishCarousel #UniqueCarousel #SeaGlass #swim #rideon #glowingfish #carousel #IrridescentFish #ModernCarousel #batterypark #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #manhattan #batteryparkcity #downtown #financialdistrictnyc #bigapple #lowermanhattan #downtownnyc #ny (at SeaGlass Carousel at The Battery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9oEhEWgcCL/?igshid=1gj92j4615iuj

The Universal Soldier Aside from panoramic views that Battery Park City offers, there’s plenty more to see and appreciate in the park, if you will go look for it. One of them is the Universal Soldier. Built in 1991, this 15-foot black granite memorial, with a cutout of an American soldier, is a tribute to the military soldiers who fought in the Korean War. Each year, on July the 27th, at 10am, the sun shines through the soldier's head and lights up the plaque at the base. That was the day, in 1953, when a ceasefire came into effect between the two Koreas. It’s designed such that you can see the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from one side of the cutout. However, a better and more interesting view is of the skyscrapers with the trees from the other side. You can read more on the blog.

American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial For those with an interest in war, you will find the American Merchant Mariner's Memorial worth the visit at Battery Park. It's only after reading up on it that I relooked at the photograph I had so randomly clicked then. And it makes for a sad one. Sculpted by Marisol Escobar, and modelled on an actual photograph, it depicts three US Navy sailors on a sinking ship. While one of them anxiously peers into the horizon, another one screams for help. However, look closely at the third figure and that is when it strikes you. He's desperately trying to grip the hand of the fourth sailor who's in the water. Adding a sense of doom to this memorial is that, twice a day, during high tide, the man in the water is completely submerged, except for that extended hand. _________________________________________ All within your reach 🇺🇲 #allwithinyourreach @thebatterynyc #thebatterynyc @nycgo #seeyourcity _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #batterypark #esplanade #nyc #newyorkcity #manhattan #batteryparkcity #downtown #financialdistrictnyc #bigapple #lowermanhattan #downtownnyc #mariners #merchantnavy #maritime #seafarer #sealife #seaman #mariner #sailors #sailorlife #shiplife #sea #ships #merchantmarine #ussmuskogee #uboat (at American Merchant Mariners' Memorial) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7GHqvrggR0/?igshid=1j3zfuw427smg

Battery Park City When it comes to parks in NYC, most visitors have Central Park in mind. And that's where they'll head. However, a short subway ride to downtown Manhattan bring you to another world that's far removed from the 'glamour' of Central Park. Battery Park City is far removed from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the city. In fact, if you're too lazy to take the ferry to say hello to the Statue of Liberty, understand what Ellis Island is all about or even discover New Jersey just across the Hudson River, no issues. The Esplanade at Battery Park City offers you stunning panoramic views of all three on a clear day. Over a mile long, this is the perfect place to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the city, while enjoying a quiet walk. And if you do feel like venturing just a little bit, why not hop onto the ferry to Staten Island. The terminal is a short walk away. Even better, your journey is free. _________________________________________ All within your reach 🇺🇲 #allwithinyourreach @thebatterynyc #thebatterynyc @nycgo #seeyourcity _________________________________________ @nofixedaddrs #nofixedaddrs _________________________________________ ………. ……... …….. ……. …… ….. …. … .. . #batterypark #esplanade #statueofliberty #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #manhattan #batteryparkcity #hudsonriver #views #downtown #financialdistrictnyc #sunset #bigapple #lowermanhattan #newjerseyskyline #newjersey #ellisisland #usa #panorama #downtownnyc #ny (at Battery Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5S0S7EAWhz/?igshid=1geck3z3hmkw8
