travel to New York

I am from England and there is just something about the anamosity of NYC that does it for me.

Just need to save enough money, find the time off and trick one of my friends into coming along!

It seems like a interesting and historic city. I want to go there.

because it IS the greatest city in the world, no?

I have always just been drawn to the New York City life. I guess it is because I am from a small town. I think it would just blow my mind!

I want to travel with my wife Sandra to New York for a weekend.

I’ve been to New York City as well as the more rural, less populated areas of New York. It was an awesome experience, especially since I went as a teenager, at which time my desire to explore was at its peak. I spent most of my time in China Town while in the city… it was grungy and crowded; the streets were lined with odd shops that were crunched together like they’d been squeezed in a vice, and people were EVERYWHERE. I mean, it was like trying to maneuver through a wall of people! Scary, in a way, but I loved it! I was with a group of internet friends and we had to hold onto the backs of each others’ coats so we wouldn’t be swept away in the crowd. I met a crazy hobo (I can only assume that’s what he was) holding a water bottle filled with urine. He was swinging the bottle at me and attempting to tell me something, which was incomprehensible. That was probably my only negative experience, although it was still quite amusing. I live in Texas… I guess most of the crazies stay inside around here, or perhaps I just haven’t met them on the street since things are so far apart that no one really does any walking.

The less populated areas were beautiful. I forget the name of the town we were heading for, but we passed several interesting ones along the way. One was called Horsehead, and I thought that was really funny.

I love traveling, and would definitely go anywhere if the opportunity arose. New York was wonderful, and I encourage anyone who plans on making the trip!

I only had four days there, in 2006, but it is still one of my favorite cities, mostly because of the people, who are really friendly and talkative, but in a very peculiar and almost hostile way! I would love to go back, especially if I could visit someone who live there, someone who could tell me where the best delis are :) Yum!
I was there for a FlashForward conference, but only had time for a few touristy things, like the Empire State building, the Staten Island Ferry (see image), the New York Public library, Guggenheim, etc, but what I like best is just walking around gawking at high buildings and walking into streetlights like an idiot. Some of my favorite momemts where getting caught in a sudden rainstorm in Chinatown, and taking refuge in a small fishstore with lots of other people, watching people wading through the ancle deep water and improvising umbrellas with soggy newspapers. I have never seen so much rainfall, it was simply stunning, and wonderful, everyone smiling and watching the havoc in the street outside, the garbage bags floating away like flotsam. Another moment was on the Staten Island ferry. I can’t remember if it was the same day, but the horison was dark, and as we where nearing shore on the return trip a wind started to blow, and this girl took a few steps out on the deck, out of the shelter, and played with the wind, beautiful, looking like a galleon figurehead, daring the wind to knock her over. I took a few pictures, and looked back at the people waiting for the ferry to dock, everyone smiling and watching her instead of the statue of liberty.

i live in new york. theres nothing to see but bums begging for change, and maybe trl. thats the only “exciting” part of the city.but ey dont let me burst YOUR bubble.

I have always wanted to go to New York and i’m planning it for April 2007. Lots of sightseeing, shopping and probably drinking!!

My housemate and I have been planning a trip to this city for a long time, and hope to go before this year is out!
