Last month my dad and I went to New York for vacation during the summer last month as a part of summer break trip. The first thing I noticed after the 6 hours flight to New York was that the traffic was difficult to get through. When my dad and I would get into a cab to sightsee, it would take a while to get from one place to another. This caused us to end up walking most of the time instead of using cabs.
I already knew that New York had been pretty busy when walking from one place to another during the day, but compared to nighttime it was really packed to get from one place to another, I felt as if I was going to lose my dad sometimes when walking around, although when walking around at night I thought that it was pretty cool walking around seeing these ginormous tvs everywhere and was had been sight to see.The weather in New York was humid when it was cloudy and burning hot when it had been sunny during the day reaching 106 degrees max during June, even though it was hot at day it was pretty cold at night still even during the summer time with an average of 80-64 degrees, when comparing the weather to here it is very similar in a way so i would recommend you it if your okay with hot weather similar to here.
There had been a lot of cool places that I saw during my time in New York City but the Empire State Building had stood out amongst all of the others that I had visited to.The Empire State building had been really far away from our hotel in which we had to walk over 12 blocks just to get to there, once you enter the building and get through all of security there are a total of two elevators with one leading to an area that explains the history of the Empire State building, and a second one that leads to the very top where you see the city around the Empire State Building but that’s after the first one. After you exit the first elevator,there are a couple of other sections that you have to get through that go over the history of the place,most of the area had been dedicated to King Kong because of the Empire State Building appearing in the classic King Kong movie, once you are through all of the sections you can go into an elevator that takes you to the top of the Empire State Building,you go up the elevator and if you look up at the top of the elevator you see a video that shows you going up the building while it’s being constructed, when you finally get to the top there is an outside section where you can see the city, the sights are amazing to see because you can look everywhere around the building, would recommend if your okay with walking for a while to look at some beautiful scenery, would not recommend though if you have a fear of heights.
For food there in New York there had been mostly Italian style restaurants and to-go pizza places everywhere in the city but one place that had been unique was called Eataly. Compared to all of the other places because it had been a store as well as a restaurant in one. The part of the restaurant that had been a store had all of the ingredients that you use for the recipes that they serve at the restaurant in which you get the recipes of the thing you ate there after you’re done eating but you don’t really need it because you can look it up online probably.The actual food that they serve you there though is absolutely amazing.my dad and I had both shared a margarita pizza and some tomato sauce basic pasta noodles, the pizza had been very flavorful as well as the pasta noodles, the pizza hadn’t been dry at all and had been very good, the pasta had hints of garlic and lemon which had complimented the pasta well. If you’re a big fan of Italian food then you will love this place.
If you want to ever travel to New York just know that depending on where your hotel is there will be a lot of walking and I recommend still going there even if all of the walking around to places every day can be tiring.
