NYC was...
AMAZING. I don't think I can fully describe the trip, but I'll try. First of all...it was complete chaos the first couple of hours because we had to find our way from JFK to Manhattan...oi, that took a while. Once we got there at 6 in the morning, we dropped our bags off and walked around until check in time (1 pm). It was so nice, but so cold...and everyone was out, at all times.
Our hotel was a ten minute walk away from Times Square, so we were there all the time at night, after ten or so until 2 in the morning. Mmm...so many people everywhere!
We visited Wall Street (they wouldn't let us into the Stock Exchange though, which was disappointing), the WTC site (the tour was the most depressing tour of my life. That day was pretty sad because of it.), the Statue of Liberty, NY public library, Central Park, NYU, Columbia, Barnard. Oh! And we had dinner in Queens one night...at some Israeli restaurant.
The subway system was so much fun as well. I had been on the subway in London, but this was nothing compared to that...especially during Rush Hour. I've never been so crammed before in my life. I felt like a sardine in a can...but it was pretty awesome. And so memorable. And I heard some really funny stories on the subway that entertained us.
It was pretty freakin' awesome! It was so much fun and the people there are so amazing. And there are so many misconceptions about NY. I was expecting it to be filled with people with guns and knives who try to steal your purses all the time...but I never once felt not safe. But there was one time we were walking to Wall St. and we saw a man in front of a restaurant just holding a knife up. And not tiny one either. It was actually quite amusing. Haha. But yeah...lots of amazing buildings and people and oi...the city is just amazing. I'm so glad I went and visited because it's so amazing!
