Are you sick of that boring country life? Do you want to be around a ton of people and see amazing things? New York City is the place for you!  It is never boring, there is always people around and it looks incredible.  The city is a great place to travel because there are always new and exciting events going on.  New York City is great to visit at all times of the year.  If you prefer less people and warmer weather then I would suggestion going in the summer.  However if you love people and the cold the winter is for you and not to mention the great decorations that they having around Christmas time. 

Come to find out it is much safer, more fun, and easier if you go to the city with a large group of people.  If you go with a large group then you can all travel there together.  You wouldn’t have to worry about getting lost and not knowing where you are.  Usually in a large group at least one person knows how the city works and this comes in handy.  It is a lot easier to use the subway if you have someone with you who knows how the subway works and not to mention a lot cheaper.  “If we didn’t have Tracy with us when we went to New York City then we probably would have spent a lot of money on taxi,” exclaimed Angelisa Box.

Traveling to New York City with a large group is highly recommended because it is so much safer.  When you are with just a large group the people in the group feel a lot safer as well because there are so many of you.  However the down fall of having just a large group would be agreeing on places to go once you are in the city.  This when you could split up into smaller groups and just have a meeting point in a few hours.

 Once they all split up into smaller groups it is time to go shopping!  There are so many place to shop in the city that are the same store you know about and also stores you don’t know about.  This is a great time to explore all the new stores and see what else is out there.  Another example of a place like this would be a place called China Town.  In China Town you can bargain with the sales people and get items at a lower price.  Of course all the women were bargaining for purse’s which the men where in sports stores.  “China Town was something that i have never experienced before but I loved it and all the culture and uniqueness,” said Box.

One store that everyone knows about and that you have to at least go walk around in is Macy’s.  The Macy’s in New York City is at least five stories high.  “Macy’s was so beautifully decorated for the Holiday’s and was very interesting to look around even with people shoulder to shoulder as you walk around, said Box.

 Shopping isn’t the only thing to do in New York City, there is so much more.  In the winter time it is just fun to walk around the city and see all the decorates that they put up.  You can go look at the huge christmas tree that they put up every year or go ice skating in the middle of the city. ”You have to take a elevator to get down to the ice skating rink which I though was funny,” said Box.

 There is a crazy amount of Christmas lights put up all over as well.  There is even carriage rides that you can take through the Central park. There are other things you can go look at as well that are on a more serious note.  If you are there during the summer, it would be a good time to go look at the area that they have set up from 9/11.  “The 9/11 area that we visited was so overwhelming and unthinkable that something like this could happen. I mean all of a sudden when we arrived there you could hear a pen drop, that is how serious this spot is,” said Box.

It is nice and needed to take time out of the day and have a serious and thankful moment on your trip.  After you get done doing all the site seeing and shopping people tend to get hungry and want to eat somewhere.  “My favorite place to eat when we go to New York City is Bubba Gump,” said Box.  Bubba Gump is a restaurant made after the movie Forest Gump.  That means that this restaurant mainly services seafood but it does have some other chooses as well.  This restaurant is fun, great customer service, great food, and has a gift shop. At Bubba Gump you get big portions of food and above all the staff is very friendly and helpful.  This is a great place for large group and people of all ages.  After you are done eating, shopping, and site seeing; you then realize just how tried you are because you are siting down when you eat.

You can either get a hotel right in the city if you plan on staying for a couple of days or it is time to go find that parking garage and drive home.  However the recommention would be to take the train into the city if you don’t live that father away.  You should take the train in because it is cheaper and then you don’t have to worry about driving the city or worrying about where to park and if it is safe. 

It is time to take time off from the country life and go live the city life for a least one day!
