I LOVE New York City. It is soooooooo my kind of place. It has been the most awesome place I have been to so far.
One of the friends I went with is a transfer student from Sarah Lawrence College which is in a little town called Bronxville which is about half an hour outside Manhattan and her super generous friends at the college put us up in their dorms for three whole nights for free!
I’m glad I went with locals too, because there was no way I could have navigated the Subway system and if I’d had to travel by train alone, I would have rocked up to Grand Central station, had a look around and cried. The size of the city and everything in it is indescribable; I was in complete awe the entire time.
The concert was on little Randall’s Island which is in between the mainland and Manhattan and the buses to and from the event were perfectly organised, we didn’t have any transport problems at all. And my goodness, it was one of the best concerts I have ever been too. $40 got us a mini outdoor music festival which started at 3pm and went through til 11pm and which showed four other bands before the main act. It was a brilliant bargain and a fantastic time.
We spent the whole next day exploring and shopping and eating and doing some of the crazy touristy things I had been hoping to do since I first conceived the idea of travelling to NYC. We ate giant pretzels in Times Square, wandered around Central Park, ordered bagels with thick inch cream cheese, imitated Woody Allen’s voice, and took photos of anything and everything that I had ever seen in a movie. It was so much fun.
Of course it was impossible to see it all in one day, so I will be returning soon enough, and next time, I will actually be able to ride the subway!!
I just LOVE New York.
