New York

I remember last year when I got out of the train station and look up to the sky and I found myself in a jungle, a jungle of buildings; I was in New York. I got there early in the morning, and even though it was spring, it was very cold. For the first time in my life I took a subway and it was quite an experience. I and my best friend went to New York for spring break last year, we stayed for a week and we had an amazing time. When we got there we first took the subway to the hotel. When we got out of the train the first thing we noticed was that the hotel was two blocks away from the Empire State, it was awesome. The first day we went to Times Square and we walked around Central Park, both of them are very cool places in different ways. The next couple of days it was raining so we went to the NBC tour at the Rockefeller center, to MOMA (The Museum of Modern Art), to the Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, to The Metropolitan Museum of art, to the Guggenheim Museum and to Madame Tussauds. We were trying to avoid the rain so we really used our time in going to as many places as we could and even though it could sound like we went to every place we missed a lot of tours and museums in NY. Every day we ate at different places we would walk around the streets and pick a place and every single one of them had good food, it was awesome, you can find all types of different cuisines that go from Indian food to French food.

When the weather was finally good we went to the Statue of Liberty and the last floor of the Empire State .We also walked around little Italy, Soho and China town. We went to The Top of the Rock which is the last floor at the Rockefeller Center, it has the most amazing view, in one side you can see the central park and on the other side you can see the Empire State and all of the other buildings in Manhattan.

New York is a beautiful city, I think it kind of has like three different environments; you can go underground in the subway, on the ground and walk through its buildings watching the New Yorkers running from place to place, or you can enjoy the peace that the high rise buildings give. It is really an amazing city; I don’t have enough words to describe how awesome it is!!
