Let’s hear it for New-York!

We all know the song Empire state of mind, don’t we? This song describes the feeling I have when I think of New York perfectly. New York has so much to offer like architecture, museums, the statue of liberty, Times Square and many more. That’s why I’ve chosen New York to describe in this blog. I will also tell you about some stereotypes about the New Yorkers, which are true and which are false and why. I hope you will, after reading this blog, have the same great feeling and a better opinion about the city and its inhabitants.

  

Sightseeing in New York!

Times Square, this is my favorite destination in NYC. It’s a plaza with big billboards hung up against the walls of the high buildings but you all know it I guess. On New Year’s Eve this plaza is the place to be for the new Yorkers to count off. I think it’s the most beautiful place in New York.

The statue of liberty is also worth it! This is a symbol for welcoming everyone. This 94 meters high statue is a gift from France in honor of the declaration of independence and friendship.

These and many more destinations in NYC are worth to visit for sure and if I get the chance I will do it immediately. Now I hope you will have a lot of enthusiasm for the city itself but the inhabitants are also worthwhile unlike what other people may say…

Stereotypes, we all have them…

New York is visited by 46 million tourists a year, most of them from the UK. The reason why so many people visit this city is because there’s so much to see. New York has also some typical characteristics like the yellow taxis but they’re not that many used as you’ll think. Only one percent of the new Yorkers use them to go to work. Most of them use the metro or just a car. Another thing you wouldn’t expect is the fact that this city has the lowest crime rate of the 25 biggest cities in America. The stereotype it isn’t a safe city is false though.

There are a lot of stereotypes about the New Yorkers. There is said that the NY’ers are the worst drivers in the entire world. But this isn’t true at all. You have to be a good driver to get around in New York; otherwise you will be driven off the road I guess. New York provides the most challenging driving situations in America. The reason why peoples have this stereotype is because there are so many New Yorkers. The greater the number of people, the greater chance some idiot will be on the road.

Another stereotype is that New Yorkers are rude. This is true and false. There are over 8 million people crammed on a tiny island and it would take them an entire hour to drive five miles in the city. The city has made the people rude in that way. They have to navigate around tourists and homeless people to only catch the train to work. It’s also not in their culture to say hello to everyone on the street. So it’s doesn’t mean they are rude at all.

I hope you enjoyed reading!
