I’ve been in New York two times. The first time I was there, in summer time. It was really hot and so the Time Square was filled with people until late midnight. During theses five days I unfortunately haven’t seen that much of the city, because I spend most of the time in a building.
But I recommend to go onto the Empire State Building, so that you can get a fine overview over NYC. The second time I’ve been to NYC was five days before Christmas and I really can recommend everybody to go there during this kind of magic time. This time I also had the chance to see more of the city and to go shopping ( I recommend the Hershey’s building on Time Square). I also visited, over one year after 9/11, the place, where the twin towers have been. It’s something where you should go in a calm sensitive mood.
Favourite spots:
Actually I think thats everything is interesting in NYC if you come from Europe. The big skyscrapers and the nightlife. I will always remember my first Chocolate Brownie Frapuccino in the Starbucks at the International Trump Center!!!!
What's really great:
Really wonderful ist the light of the City shining in the Hudson River. I almost feld like a New Yorker!
