Grand Central Market Mother's Day cakes
So here is the fourth part of my trip in New York.
The week I was there, it was Mother's Day.
With my friend, we decided to go to Harlem to celebrate
that day in a gospel church.
We were well welcome by the community.
I was a bit moved by the songs performed by these old and
nice black ladies, all dressed up, elegant, wearing hats and gloves.

Then we walked down the neighborhood to have a brunch at Sylvia's
(328 Malcolm X Boulevard, Harlem).
The food was really nice; I had bacon and waffles, and a real (!) ice tea.

In the afternoon, we took the subway downtown and stopped by
west village, greenwich and east village to end up on the Highline.
I really recommend an afternoon walk on the Highline, which is one of
my favourite spot in New York.
A few decades ago, the place was actually a train skyline, meant to bring
goods in downtown New York. Now it's been transformed in a green park.
It has sunbathing wood chairs to read a book or sleep, springs in which you
can dip your feet and plants everywhere.
