New York, New York

"These little town blues, are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it - in old New York If i can make it there, I'll make it anywhere It's up to you - New York, New York" -Frank Sinatra

Coming from a small town I never spent much time in the city, save for a few trips to Boston and one quick day trip to NYC in high school. Being a dancer I know all about Broadway and 42nd street and all the opportunities cities offer to dancers other performing artists; however I have no desire to ever reside in the city, too busy and crowded for my taste, but I love visiting and wish I could do it more often.

These City Streets

I got the opportunity to go back to New York City this past week when my boyfriend and his parents took me out for the day. We drove into the city and walked to the St. Patrick's Cathedral.

Then we walked to Rockefeller Center and looked at the big Christmas Tree and the famous ice rink.

Next on the tour was Radio City Music Hall, M&Ms World, then Times Square.

Happy New Years New York!

Central Park. Next time I go on the city I want to go to Strawberry Fields and visit the John Lennon Memorial. Which reminds me of another goal of mine; to actually read the John Lennon biography I bought for 6 bucks last semester.

The Big Piano

We went to FAO Schwarz which is an 150 year old toy store that is three floors and has a giant doll factory, a giant dance on keyboard, and is every child's dream come true.

I had a great time in the city and can't wait to go back. Next time I want to go to Strawberry Fields in Central Park and go to Ellis Island and see the Statue of Liberty.
