New York State aka: NY, New York

New York it’s crazy! It’s pace, it’s people, it’s amazing grid…

I loved it and hated it at times… for it’s variety, it’s colour… the craZy people in the street…

But it is frightening after dark at times… there are gun shots and police sirens… and you are probably best off in a hotel or indoors.

I was there in the Blizzard of ‘95 and it was so cold I could not feel my nose when I stepped outside.

I have been there about 5 or 6 times I think… you must walk into Saks 5th Avenue and Tiffany’s, just for the sake of experience.

And take a limousine… even for a short ride five blocks down the road… you are in New YorK!

I live in Pennsylvania, about two hours out of NYC with the train. I also live close to Binghamton, and have taken numerous trips through the state to get to Canada or New England. There is a lot more to New York than just NYC, but that’s where I am going to start. When German friends come to visit, they ALWAYS want to go to New York, and they don’t mean the state. They are always in awe of the sky scrapers, and enjoy themselves. I also went to the Nintendo Store grand openning. It was so exciting, and I still have a sealed bottle of water to prove I was there!

I went to Binghamton for a B Mets game. It’s one of the Mets’ farm teams. It’s a working man’s town, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Niagara Falls is just as nice as everyone says it is. The American side is crumbling, the Canadian ‘Horseshoe Falls’ is stunning. I would love to see them in the winter!

All of New York is nice, in all honesty. I know I’ll be going back, whether for a show, another trip through, or just because; it doesn’t matter!

New York is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
It is an incredible city to visit. I love it. There are many things to do, many streets to do window shopping, the shows!!! Wow! NYC rocks.

I’ve been to NYC multiple times as a child. But never went as an adult. I need to go for a shopping spree and mingle with the people.
Sounds like the perfect place to go to have fun.

This is my short guide to NYC – hope it helps those people who have no idea where to start or what to do there!

I’m going to New York in Spring for a month to do as Baz Luhrmann suggests. I cannot wait!

There is nowhere else like it! Well worth a visit.

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.
