8 Reasons You Should Go To NYC At Least Once
Claire Fox

In This Article:

NYC is my favorite city and I could easily come up with one hundred reasons everyone should at least visit once, but I kept it to eight.

1. The diversity

The diversity in NYC is unlike any other place in the world. If you are an American, this is the place to experience other cultures without leaving the United States.

2. Broadway

Best day of my life seeing "Wicked" for the first time ever and on Broadway.

Claire Fox

You cannot see Broadway acting anywhere else. It is an unbelievable experience, seeing any play or musical on Broadway.

3. The subway

Fun times on the Subway (peep the lady in the background)

Claire Fox

The subway is such an unique experience for anyone who is not a New Yorker, and I think we all should experience that form of transportation because it is pretty wild.

4. There's so much to see just walking down the street.

I had to stop to take a picture because this is a SCHOOL.

Claire Fox

Walking down the street is like going to a museum. That's reason enough to go.

5. The museums

You can experience this in real life.

The museums are awesome and some are even free.

6. The food

What dreams are made of

Claire Fox

Food from all different cuisines at every corner.

7. Ellen's Stardust Diner

Getting serenaded while you eat is quite the experience.

The waitstaff perform Broadway numbers all while waiting tables. It's amazing.

8. The ceilings of Grand Central Station

I was enthralled.

Claire Fox

Yes, I think the ceilings of Grand Central Station are a reason to go to New York City. To say I love it is an understatement.

NYC is truly a magical place and I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience its wonder. Start planning your trip now!

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
