New York State

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.

Went for 2 days with my class, it was a lot of fun. We went in June 2001 the picture is from the top of the World Trade Center.

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.
