We've finally made it to Jane's Carousel and I have to say that it is really worthwhile. The carousel is beautiful and the structured designed by French architect Jean Nouvel is very nice as well. When well done (which is not that easy to achieve), I usually love the mix of modern and old and it works amazingly well in this case.
Jane's Carousel is an old carousel from the beginning of the twentieth century that was completely restored. To protect it, Jean Nouvel was commissioned to do a modern structure made of glass. It is located in Brooklyn, right below Brooklyn Bridge in a very nice area called Dumbo. There's a nice park right on the shores of the East River and several restaurants nearby. We went by taxi but decided to return by ferry, which was another adventure for my sons.
