Ok let me start, this blog will be me posting updates of my trip round New York City in the comfort of my sofa using Google street View. For years I have had a yearning to go to New York City, but lack of money has prevented me from going. So until I win the Lottery or somehow save up enough money, I will just have to carry on using Street View. Well when I do go to NYC I should not get lost!

We start at West 10th Street Coney Island, looking at the Wonder Wheel!
So we must start at the start!? What I mean is every time I "walk" around NYC I often start at an edge or a place of interest to me, and what better place than where the Warriors started and ended their trip in the 70's gang movie "The Warriors". Along with The French Connection and that fantastic music venue CBGB and many other things besides, I just can't get enough from this great city. I have to admit I also dream about walking around the back streets of NYC (Something I have been doing since I was a child in the 70's) and seeing places most people would not care to see. So Google street view is a God send and a second best until I make it all the way to New York City from merry old England.
Please comment positive or negative, if you know of any interesting places to point me to then please drop me a line,Gary.
