New York City

I'm going start this post off by saying that I used to hate big cities. But I was proved wrong when my family and our friends all visited the legendary New York City. We took the train from a little town near Southampton to a village named Babylon. From there we took another train to the center of New York City. Then, right in front of the subway station, my parents started to plan our day, such as where we would go first, and where we had to go to get the whole New York City experience.

From the train station we walked to a pizza place called Vita Bella which served us a great Greek Salad and an even better pizza. Once we finished eating we walked to Times Square, where we stared in awe at all of the flashing signs and light-up billboards. My parents then decided that we should go to M&M world and get some candy. We came out with sacks of different blends of M&Ms. I chose the Yankees team colors mix with peanut butter and mini M&Ms on top. 

After that, we walked to the Rockefeller Center, a 70 story high skyscraper, located right next to the famous Radio City. We took an elevator to the top, and my mom snapped plenty of pictures up there. Once we were on the ground again I begged my parents to let me go to the NBA Store. On the way there I saw the MTV building, where there was a huge line to get into TRL. I also saw the NBC building, with the set for Good Morning America in the front of it. Finally, we arrived, at the NBA Store on 5th street.(Pretty much all of the stores are on that street.)I went inside and bought myself a Dwyane Wade shirt. 

My parents then decided that we should take the subway to the Metropolitan Museum, right next to Central Park. That was my least favorite part of the day, having to stand in a subway with tons of other people, and having to rush off to catch the next train, meanwhile, keeping track of my two little brothers. We arrived at the Museum in one piece, and took a thirty minute look at their Egyptian Mummy exhibit, which was really creepy.

Right outside the airport, we got a hot dog and shake from a street vendor, and afterwards we took a bus to the train station, and took the train to Babylon, and then back to Southampton. What a day!
