Last Saturday my sister and I and couple of friends took a trip down to New York City. I've never been to New York City so boy was it interesting!!! When we first entered New York City by the George Washington Bridge it seemed like an old beat up town. But as soon as we got around Central Park and Town Square everything seems to get better! I loved the light-up signs and also got to see the big tree at Rockefeller Center. They were in the process of putting it up. I also go to see the place where the World Trade Center formerly stood which was a little sad. We actually stayed at the Word Trade Center shop and play scratch-offs for about an hour. Another place we visited was Wall Street which really isn't even a street. One thing that I thought was interesting was that there were so many people there from all countries around the world. New York City is probably the biggest melting pot in the entire United States. The only things I didn't like about New York was the cold air (about 28 degrees which is probably considered warm up there) and the fact that we couldn't find a parking spot. We actually ended up getting a $115 ticket from the NYPD for parking in front of a fire hydrant. Did I also mention that pack of New Port cigarettes costs over $8.00? However, if you're not from the U.S. and you plan on visiting, New York City should be your first stop. Make sure to bring a camera because there's so much to see there.
I have a lot of friends in NY, so I've been there a few dozen times. IMO- it's a dirty, over-priced, crowded, cold and crappy place to live and/or visit. The filthiness is really just too much for me. You go outside for a few hours and your shoes and fingernails look as if you were playing in the mud all day.
seriously..i think i paid 25$ for a burger at some place called tgifridays..never been to one before (they dont have any in montreal/canada that im aware of), im guessing its some us chain..does every tgifridays charge insane rates for a mediocre burger? Then i ate at some place wgere theres a huge buddah in the middle (forgot the name..tao maybe) and paid like 40$ for the worst chinese food ive ever tasted. I went to the soup nazi and he was closed, im guessing a soup there costs 1000$
Hmmmmm.....I didn't notice the filth that you're talking about. For some reason my fingernails and shoes managed to stay clean.
Central Park is really a wonderful place, especially for a city where the ground is expensive . I hope we have "central park" of our version in my city .
NYC is expensive. TGIFriday's is a chain. They don't charge $25 for a burger in LA. Doubt they do there either. Although I have spent $40 for bacon, eggs and toast for two there.
Central park was awesome. I walked through there two times but for some odd reason it was to find a bathroom.
New York is quite famous all over the world and probably one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. There is not much space left to live. But I have still heard a lot of good things about it and its also famous as the city that never sleeps. I would like to go there if I get a chance. TGI Fridays is also in India but I have never gone there. Though I know its expensive (that's one of the reasons).
Disclaimer, I live in NYC ïŠ There is no place on the planet like it. Just as if you went anywhere great, it all depends on where you go, once I went to DC, didn’t care for it much but when I went back with someone who knew the place, it was amazing. Same goes for NYC, if you don’t know where to go or what to see, never know what you can find. When I first moved here, I’d would walk around for hours on end and was shocked to find the amazing wonders of the city. It truly is a fantasy world if you know where to look.
Honestly, the living index in NYC is not as high as the last decade... If you're fancy about NYC, then you can consider to move to this city!
Its a great place to visit especially if your new to the united states or have been living in a farm type low life western etc...
