New York State aka: NY, New York

So I guess the title is a grossly generalized statement considering I’ve seen merely 5% of the entire state, but that’s what New york seemed to me – simply alright. New York City is…New York City. It’s big, bustling, lively, crowded, scary, slightly smelly, and somehow beautiful. The Rochester area..eh. The Buffalo area…eh. Niagara Falls…eh (it’s MUCH better from the Canadian side!) Although my visits here, apart from NYC, were frankly boring (ok, it was winter – maybe that’s to blame), the pictures of the state look lovely and I will definitely travel here again.

This place is definitely worth visiting but its not a very good place to live.

i visited ny in march 2003 as a last holiday before i got married.
my visit coincided with the st patricks parade
loved the sights
loved the shopping
loved everything about ny and can’t wait to go back

I moved to NYC as soon as I turned 18 and spent 5 wonderful years there. I learned some hard lessons but wouldn’t change a day of the whole experience. If money was no object, I would consider moving back…or at least keeping a brownstone off Central Park :)

I was born in New Rochelle and I have a single memory of when I was two years old, sitting on my parents’ bed on a white comfortor in our NY apartment.
I was playing with pink plastic sunglasses and looking down at my brother, who was just born.

I remember not really understanding the little person and why he was there.

That is the only memory I have of living in NY.

Visited Billy’s grave

Feb 2008!

Was on a day trip. Flew up to see David Letterman. Evander Holyfield was the guest, as well as some kid who gave 3000$ back to a bank.

We drove seven hours to get there and only stayed for five hours but it was entirely worth it. A really interesting city with a lot to do and see.
