A view of Midtown from Central Park - New York City

New York is like a second home for me. My mother is from Brooklyn, and now I'm living in Manhattan for a few months.
There are many things I like about New York. Parks are one of them: it's amazing how a city this big and chaotic can have so many parks to relax and take a break from the metropolis.

Action: a city of actors

Action!

This is the city where 50% of waiters are actors, or say they are actors, or are trying to become actora, or would like to be actors. You walk on the street, there are people shooting a movie (a robbery scene) and most people don't care and just move along: business as usual.

Imagine: a city of dreams

John Lennon remembered

New York is the place to dream, where any dream can come true, it is a dream itself.
I like to spend some dreaming time in Central Park, in front of this John Lennon memorial.

Loved the turtles sunning in the park! You are a tough critic with the restaurants & your honesty is refreshing. Loved you info on SOHO & other areas..learned a great deal from them. Thanks.

I really like your New York page, you did a great job in showing a slice of Manhattan! The John Lennon Memorial picture was cool too.
