Concrete Jungle Where Dreams Are Made Of
New York is the ideal place for escape. There's too many things going on around you all at once, but what I’d like to point out are the people, the food, and the places to go – I mean that’s what every college student likes right? To see good people, to enjoy bomb food, and to travel to cool places to Instagram.
New York is known to have a more fast-paced way of living. So what exactly is a ‘slow-paced’ way of living then? When you’re in New York, you’re bound to find people that are constantly walking at high speeds trying to get from place to place. People are always in a rush and don’t have time to dilly-dally or admire the sights around them, let alone take a casual walk outside on the streets. The people there can either be extremely nice, or very rude. It's at an extreme really. People can be pushy and some are very criminal like. With stealing purses/wallets/bags. Basically it’s mostly a place that’s better to visit than to live in.
The food is great here – and not to mention sometimes very convenient. Food trucks everywhere, one street after another. The trucks look pretty run-down and there’s nothing special or appealing about each one, yet the food smells great. This isn’t something you’d normally find in California. Sit-down foods are worth mentioning as well: from the amazing Philly cheese steaks to the Gordon Ramsay restaurants. Pricing on these foods is kind of steep, but it’s definitely worth the quality.
New York is basically nothing but tall gray buildings all around you, but in the turn of a corner you’re suddenly in little Italy or Chinatown. I almost want to say that the heart of NYC is basically like the Las Vegas strip, where there’s constant people, flashing building and billboard lights, and shops galore.
Outside of the NYC there are also noteworthy places to visit and activities to do as well! You can go to the prestigious 9/11 memorial, you can go watch a Broadway show, or you could spend an afternoon on Long Island!
New York is definitely a place to visit and should be on everyone’s bucket list to go there at least once (maybe not so much to live there, though). Who knows? Maybe you might be featured on the famous Humans of New York page.
