New York City: A Definite Place to Visit Since I was a child, I have always had a great fascination for New York City. Although regarded as the “most populated city” in the United States, the whole city has something interesting to offer everyone. Located in the East Side, beside New Jersey, the city was known as one of the major economic centers in the world. It is sub divided into five boroughs, being Queens, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island respectively. Even if the city was small, the landmarks were known all over the world. There was the famous Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, the sky scrapers, and the World Trade Center. New York City is basically a crowded and small city. With a population of almost eight million residents, it is actually a mystery how such a big population would fit in such a small city. During the day, the streets and the subways are filled with busy people, with the roads filled with cars and the continuous honking of vehicles. By night, stars are accompanied by the millions of lights that illuminate the busy streets. One of Manhattan's famous landmarks is Times Square. Different kinds of lights are seen, where people are seen partying, having fun, and enjoying life. People from all over the world go to Times Square to have a glimpse of such a beautiful sight. A New York trip will never be complete without a visit to Times Square. I have always wanted to visit New York City for all its beauty and wonder. I know that the experiences that I will have in the city would be extraordinarily special. I guess what would make it more special is when I go there with my family and my friends. I know that in this city, I can learn to live life to the fullest, without setting aside my priorities in life. The place gives me a great sense of confidence, making me appreciate the little things in life, and what I can contribute to the betterment of society.

I will have this sense of fulfillment when I am

    Last summer, I had the opportunity to travel to Manhattan in New York. Manhattan is known as the premier destination for New York City tourists, and many people consider it as a “walking city”. A population with over 8.4 million living in NYC (New York City), I came to an understanding that most of my traveling was going to be done by foot. I traveled from Times Square to the Empire State Building and continued onto Central Park right after. And yes, I accomplished this by walking since waiting for the bus or taking a taxi was really an inconvenience. With restaurants, clothing stores, and other necessities at the tip of our fingers, I can see why the locals would travel by foot. The golden age for walking has indeed not expired; in fact, more people are on the streets than before.…

    New York City has been called "the greatest city in the world" numerous times by its own people and visitors to the city. New York is civilization's greatest world within a city. It gives the overpowering impression of being a magnet and mirror for all of humanity and all that humanity does. For a city so young, New York is home to number of architectural classics. Two of these masterpieces of architecture are the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim Museum. Both continue the metaphor of New York being a world within a world and possess the latent fusion of form and function, one dependent on the other. The Metropolitan Museum is the epitome of neo-Classical style while the Guggenheim is a modernist powerhouse. Each museum serves the same purpose: displaying humanity's greatest achievements. By comparing and contrasting their history, location, façade and interior, I will investigate how they arrive at this goal in contrasting styles…

    I don’t travel very much at all but my parents managed to send me on the trip as a kind of graduation gift, a great traveling experience and the sightseeing part of the trip was amazing. We went toured all over the city, went to see plays, and visited a lot of famous places. I had only seen New York on TV or in pictures but I loved being able to actually go there. Just watching TV or seeing pictures on a screen cannot compare at all to actually standing at the top of the Rockefeller Center and being able to see all of Manhattan and the surrounding area as far as you can see, the same can be said about Times Square. Going to these two places were some of my favorite things that we did, along with seeing the Blue Man Group, going to Chinatown, and walking up and down Fifth Avenue. I had a great time actually being able to see and experience everything for myself, but there are more reasons as to why I loved that trip so much.…

    I stopped for a moment just to observe the people in the streets. Many of them were scurrying to get somewhere, talking on the phone, listening to music, and ignoring one another as if they were the only ones here. The men were all dressed in their suits and ties and the women’s high heeled shoes could be heard striking the ground very swiftly one after the other. The enormous skyscrapers tower over me and I can no longer feel the summer sun beating down on my skin. The architecture of each building is so eye-catching and differs from one another. Some appear to be made of all glass, others are more vintage looking, and some even have striking statues attached to the buildings. The streets seem more congested than the side walks. The continuous sounds of cars honking at one another pierce through my ears, and the bright yellow taxis are so overpowering to the eyes.…

This is a beautiful place with lots of trees where the people escape from the crazy and busy life in New York City, they can relax, breathe fresh air and admire nature. At night we went to the central square was very exciting because finally I was in that place filled with light, stores, huge advertising, noise and movement that I had seen in movies. It was amazing!…
