New York Visit
Author: SamThe last time I was in New York City I took a friend that was visiting from the other side of the country. Never having been to New York before she was very excited to be going. One thing on her agenda was seeing a Broadway play. Not my favorite thing as I would prefer Opera over Broadway but it was her visit. We got tickets to see Wicked. I wasn’t impressed and fortunately nether was she so we ended up leaving after the first act saving us from suffering through another act let alone moment of this horrible musical abomination. Fortunately it was a matinee performance so we were able to fit in some other tings to do. We went to a cool paper store where I got some new papers to fold into origami models. we did some other shopping and window shopping in mid town Manhattan. While making our way down toward the Empire State building. My friend had always wanted to go up it. Being from New York and living there all my life I had never given a tough to going up inside the Empire State building. So it was good to have someone come visit so I would do this. We made it to the observation deck for the sunset. It was a nice evening and the lights of the city came on as we watched the sun go down. After that we made our way back to street level and began making our way back to the train station. Of course by now we need to get some dinner to eat before we faint. We were passing a 5 star New York hotel and thought what a way to treat ourselves at the end of a long day of site seeing in New York City. My friend had a lot of fun, she had never been in a city that big before nor seen so many people and had that many choices of things to do all at the same time. It was overwhelming but fun for her.
