New York
New York is my favourite city in the world! I only visited New York briefly but the city captivated me the moment I arrived at the airport. I have heard people say you either love it or hate it. Well I LOVE it! I was lucky enough to stay close to Times Square and had everything at my finger tips.
My hotel was easy walking distance to most of the main attractions and subway was simple to use to get to the rest. Times Square at night is just dazzling! Only being there for a short amount of time I spend most of my day on the hop on hop off tourist bus, which I would highly recommend. I also visited ‘Ground Zero’ and took part in one of the guided tours by a victim or victims family member. This was by far the most touching and rewarding experiences of my travel.
I also took the free ferry over to Satan Island seeing all the sights but also helping out my backpacking budget. Central Park was just beautiful and like Hyde Park in London a must see! My one piece of advice is be prepared to eat a lot! Nothing in New York is small, food servings included!
New York is my most favourite city in this world and I will return one day for sure!
