NY

So being in PA meant, of course, that I had to go up to NY for a day or two to see grandpa. He's a stubborn old fella, and felt he had to prove that he still has it- whatever "it" is. So we spent two days walking the streets of New York, taking a million pictures, and eating ice cream. We went to the 2nd Street Deli and to Mamá Mexico and to Coldstone. It was pretty cool. In the end though, despite all the romance and the legend surrounding New York, it's just another city. Ergo: if you love the city, you'll love New York. If you don't like cities, you'll be unimpressed. Me, I love cities. It was so great to be in a place with tall buildings, small streets, and lots and LOTS of people. =)
over 'n out.

New York New york! nanana! xD

How is being on a BIG BIG BIG city like new York?... The only BIG city that I have visited is Sao Paulo on Brasil, but it's different cause it have too many trees and a lot of "green".
New York has to be a little bit... grey... isn't it?

yeah, NYC is pretty gray... but less than I thought it would be. Central Park is VERY green. It's like BCN except for a couple things:
1. ALL of the blocks (manzanas) are square. all of them. it's weird
2. it's bigger.
3. the buildings are a little taller, depending on what part of NY you're in.
i had no idea sao paulo was green.
