Ten Places to Visit In New York City
Ellie Stamp

New York City is a magical place. There is something unique to see on every corner of the city. There is so much culture and there are endless activities to do while you are there. It is my favorite city to go to on the planet. I have included a list of my favorite places to visit in when I go to New York City.

1. It may be cliche but if you happen to visit New York City I recommend seeing the top of the Empire State Building. Once you reach the top of the building, there is nothing like it. It is a stunning view whether or not you go in the daytime or nighttime.

2. I would suggest that you take a stroll through Central Park. You never know what you will see in the park, and it is beautiful in all four seasons of the year. It is also a wonderful place to have a picnic in the spring or summer.

3. Take a boat ride to Liberty Island to see the statue of liberty. The boat ride itself is incredible because you get to see a magnificent view of New York City. Once you reach the island, you have two options. You can climb the stairs all the way to the crown of Statue of Liberty, or you can observe the surrounding area from the lower deck. Afterwards, you can take a boat ride to visit Ellis Island to continue your tour of New York City.

4. Take a trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum houses artwork from over 5000 years ago. There are many beautiful paintings and sculptures to see while you are there. The museum even has artwork from the famous Leonardo da Vinci.

5. If you have the chance get tickets to see a Broadway play! The actors are always outstanding, and there is always an interesting play to see. I saw the play "Of Mice and Men" which starred James Franco, Leighton Meester, and Chris O'Dowd. The play was amazing, and I would recommend that every one gets the chance to see a Broadway play.

6. Take a walk or go on a bike ride alongside the Brooklyn Bridge. The architecture of the bridge is beautiful and one can see the beauty of New York City from the bridge. It is a wonderful place to visit with your family or friends.

7. I would recommend going to the Neue Galerie to see the artwork of Gustav Klimnt. The Galerie obtains my favorite painting titled "The Woman in Gold", by the artist Gustav Klimnt. It is a portrait of a woman named Adele Bloch-Bauer. The painting is breathtaking, and the history behind the painting is incredibly interesting. There was even a movie about the painting that stars Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren.

8. My favorite restaurant to go in New York City is Carmines Family Restaurant. It is an Italian restaurant and the food is absolutely outstanding. The meals are all served in "family style", so the meals can feed an entire table of people.

9. I would suggest going for a dessert at a restaurant called "Holey Cream". It is very unique because it is famous for doughnut sandwiches filled with any ice cream the heart desires. The food is absolutely delicious.

10. Lastly, if you happen to be in New York City during Fleet week, attend the boat tours. The city offers tours of Coast Guard and Navy ships. It is a wonderful way to support the Armed Services and learn about their work.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
