"The Big Apple"

Next on my list of places I want to go to would be the big city of New York. New York City has lots to offer between the huge skyscrapers and cute little shops. Growing up in relatively small town, I've always wanted to visit a big city like NYC. My stepmom always said I would thrive in a big city, so why not give it a try sometime? Times Square is one of the most popular places to visit and I have always wanted to be there for New Years Eve, just to be able to say that I got to see the ball drop in person. I think it would be such a cool experience.  While in New York, I wouldn't just limit myself to just New York City. I would go out of the city limits and see things such the Empire State Building, and the Brooklyn Bridge. I would also like to visit Manhattan and take a stroll in Central Park because it's in all of the movies. Then I would head to the Bronx and because I enjoy watching baseball, I would attend a game at the ever famous Yankee Stadium. One of the most popular tourists attractions would be to take a ride on the Staten Island Ferry and visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. When the sun sinks down below the beautiful skyline, you could attend a Broadway show and have dinner in one of the many restaurants located in the city. Of course, shopping is a must but it could also make me go broke. I think visiting New York would be a very cool experience but it would make me love my small, little town even more. I would like the atmosphere of being in a big city but after awhile I would feel crowded and would want to go home, so this trip would not be a permanent trip, but a great experience.
