"Finally" New York City by Mique

New York City Travel Guide: 19,521 reviews and 30,170 photos

Well you know how it is. You had actually planned to go some place years ago but there was always something in the way. Other destinations to persue etc. But finally i made it to New York. Thanks to a 12,5 year friendship celebration and some 'though' don't get distracted-focus. Luckily we were with two to celebrate this freindship-milestone so we kept to the point because we had always said that we would go to NY for this celebration. Now, if it was just me... we would have been lucky to make it to any part of the States.

Brooklyn bridge

And i loved it. Thanks to some very special VT-people for VT-dinners, baseball games where you meet even more VT-ers and especially Cecille. Thanks for having us over.

But unfortunately..

Manhattan from Brooklyn

there is so much to do and so much to see that a week is way too short. So i have to go back. There is no way getting around it. And preferably the sooner the better..

Pros and Cons

Pros:A very fun city
Cons:It is a little too far away....
In a nutshell:i'll be back!

Last visit to New York City: Apr 2003
