So good they named it twice, and who could argue? I am a great fan of New York and all that it stands for. There is so much to see and do that it's impossible to talk about this city in just a few lines. Here is all life from the grandeur of the big stores and enormous buildings, to bums, entertainers and 'ladies of the night' in the streets, you never know quite what you will see around the next corner. Central Park pictured below is an oasis of green and (mostly) genteel tranquility amongst the bustle and busy-ness of the great City.
Amongst the undergrowth of Central Park was a sight I was not expecting, a rat and a squirrel playing together!! Hey, we all get on in NYC! Home of great wealth and poverty, grand hotels and two-dollar breakfasts, all the nations of the world under one flag, New York is virtually indescribable.. From Battery Park on the southernmost tip of Manhatten, you can get a ferry to Liberty, or you can blow a whole load of bucks (saving a lot of time) by taking a helicopter trip instead. The helicopter can't land on liberty Island so the experience is not the same, but if you're short of time and don't fancy the ferry....I have been to NY twice, so I am sure that I will take the opportunity to write more about this King amongst cities, New York.
I would love to go to that side of the USA. I have visited San Diego in California and travelled to Arizona and Utah while I was there. I am sure that New York is quite different. My husband has been there and loved it...I'm sure he will take me there someday.
