New York City, the city that never sleeps. One of the best places in the world if you'd ask me I've been three times now and I would go a million times more if I had the chance. There are a few reasons why you have to go to New York City at least once in your life and I'll tell you why.
1. Theater
As a past musical theatre dancer, I have a great appreciation for the theatrical arts. Although I have only been to one show on Broadway, I think that the whole theatre is such a fun place. I saw Wicked a few summers ago on Broadway and it was absolutely amazing. The actors, the costumes, and the sets are just so awesome, you have to see a show if you go to the city.
2. The buildings
I would go to NYC just for the buildings alone. There are so many different styles and types of buildings, and there really are no two buildings alike. Just take Times Square for instance, all the buildings with the bright digital billboards, so fun and so photogenic too! There are buildings of glass, buildings of brick, stone, you name it. Regardless of the material, no matter what angle or filter you use when taking photos of the New York City buildings, it's absolutely impossible to get a bad picture of them.
3. The food
The food of the city is unlike no other place I have ever traveled. Not only is there street food on every block you turn on, but there are different restaurants all over the city. Some of the best places I have ever eaten have been the many hole in the walls in New York City. And don't forget about the food in Little Italy... TO DIE FOR! There is at least a dozen different Italian restaurants and bakeries with pasta, pizza, and cannolis that you could only dream about. If you go to New York City any time soon I highly recommend trying Black Tap, Lombardi's, and Ferrara's!
4. The culture
The New York City culture is so amazing. There are so many different types of people in the city, but they are all there to enjoy the joys that New York City offers. From China town to Little Italy to Korea Town, there is so much culture to experience and it is so cool to experience.
5. The experience
The New York experience is unlike anything else. The hustle and bustle is really what makes New York so special. There are so many people trying to get to so many places at one time its super cool to see, especially if you take the subway. By the way, if you go to New York City, I recommend taking the Subway at least once because it is just so cool to see how locals and residents get around town every single day. Also, if you haven't been to New York City during the winter/Christmas time, I HIGHLY recommend. The lights and decorations are so stunning and breathtaking, you just have to experience it for yourself!
