As my internship is coming to the end, I thought that I
would share some of my Random Thoughts or Lessons from my time in NY.
Warning: The Pigeons are crazy. They are not like normal
birds. They really think they run the city.
When walking in New York, I suggest wearing headphones and
sunglasses at all times Personally, I think sunglasses are a great accessory,
but if they are not for you at least have on the headphones.
Always keep walking. You won’t believe how many people will
try and stop you for something.
Avoid Time Square if you can. It’s like madhouse and if you
are trying to get somewhere you will get frustrated.
No one in NY believes in separate checks or free refills.
New York what is with all the revolving doors? Have you not
seen The Godfather, when Michael Corleone settled all family business?
If you will be in NY for a long length of time get the
unlimited Metro Card.
Avoid the R Train on the weekends if you can. For some
reason that train is always under construction and then you have to try to
figure out where to transfer to get where you planned to go.
Try and visit the Museum of Moving Image. It is a great time
and they currently have a Jim Henson exhibit and it will take you on journey
down memory lane.
My favorite thing has been Rush tickets for Broadway show. I
saw How to Succeed in Business Without Trying for $30 (which was a fabulous
show, I was so close to Daniel Radcliffe that I could see him spit as he sang)
and Spider Man for $40 (the music and the set were amazing, but the story and
acting were not very good, but it was only $40 so I don’t feel bad).
MTA trip planner is better at giving directions than Google
and HopStop (Thanks for the tip Lucy Place).
When walking on the sidewalk try not to walk so close to the
buildings. For some reason there is liquid always dropping from the buildings?
I think it is water from the air conditioners (at least I hope that is what
that is).
So those are some of my random thoughts from my time here in New York.
