Reflection on New York

   New York City: The city that never sleeps. That is the first thing I think about when I hear those three words. A city filled with chaos, traffic, yellow cabs, billboards, tourists, and billions of rude New Yorkers that are in a rush to get to where they need to go. It is never quiet in New York City, never a dull moment and never a moment of Silence. There are so many things to do in New York City, such as going to a Broadway show, taking a boat tour, and visiting the Statue of Liberty. The list of things to do is never ending, just like a night in the city. The city that keeps going when all other cities have called it a night, and the city you go to when your looking for a fun endless night. The one and only New York City. 

     New York City: The melting pot, the second thing that comes to mind. The large amount of cultures that come together in New York City is amazing. Cultures can be seen through the many options of food we have in the city, and the numerous museums and locations we can go to learn more about a certain culture. As a New Yorker I hear many people tell me that I am lucky I can enjoy authentic and delicious pizza and chin ease food. Other cities can try to imitate but the food and culture from New York City can never be replaced. From Chinatown to Little Italy, New York City has an endless list of diversity that can    be enjoyed. 

   New York City has been almost like a second home to me. Having spent almost my entire summer working in this city I can honestly say I have grown attached to it. As a native New Yorker and having the city only a 30 Minute train ride away, I wish I could have appreciated it more then just my work place. I have never been inside the Statue of Liberty, and I have never witnessed a new year celebration at Time Square. Sometimes I believe tourists see more of the city then New Yorkers. As annoying as they are taking pictures of every single thing, they have a reason to be excited over New York City. It is one of the most talked about places, and I am lucky to be able to see it almost every day.

    Another favorite thing of mine when it comes to New York City is all of the shopping that can be done!! New York city has every possible store I can think off. Any style of clothing, shoes or accessories can be found here. One of my favorite locations to shop at is 34th St. It has the biggest Macy's in the world, and other popular stores such as Old Navy, Forever 21, H&M, and Foot Locker. Many people come to NYC to shop, and experience the full effect the city has to offer. A typical day could be spent shopping, eating, and exploring the city that has endless possibilities.

    I'm looking forward to the many adventures that we will set forth in this class. I can finally play the role of a tourist and learn tons of information, and visit places I have always wanted to see. This will definitely be an interesting experience, and I cannot wait to begin!
