My NYC Experience

I took the seven a.m. flight from Cincinnati to Laguardia and arrived at around nine. I hopped on the M60 bus then rode the yellow NW line to Times Square. The place was packed, so I got a few pictures and walked down to the UN building. I was unimpressed with the offered self-guided tour, but in awe by the building's meaning of worldwide peace. From there, I made my way back near Times Square and took the orange line to the Blue A-C-E down to the World Trade Center. After seeing the size of the crater in a sky-scraper populated city, I began to realize how enormous the towers and plaza were. They were more than twice the size of nearby buildings. There were some conspiracy theorists nearby, so I picked up a few flyers. From there, I walked up to Washington Square Park and listened to a homeless man ramble about the disaster in New Orleans. After fifteen minutes and a PB&J, I packed up my stuff and made my way down to Duane St. I got lost near Chambers street and ended up in Chinatown. Walking into that part of the city is like walking into China. Billboards, newspapers, and people are all chinese. I turned around and finally found Church St. which led me to Duane St. After about an hour and a half of walking and searching, I found the firehouse featured in the movie 9/11. Feeling dehydrated, I got some water at Baskin Robbins and decided to find my way back to Laguardia for the 5:30 flight back to Cincinnati.

NYC is a good place to visit and experience. It's the biggest city I've been to and packed with so many people. I'm sure my daytrip up there would have been more enjoyable had known people or good places to visit. If you like shopping, fake Louis Vuitton, or eating, NYC might be your place. I don't think I'll go back unless I have something to do there. A good experience, but not worth repeating for a while
