NYC

A couple of weeks ago I had the oppurtunity to travel to New York City. It was a very interesting trip. I was traveling there to attend the National Broacasting Society annual national convention. On our way into the city we passed over the George Washington Bridge which was an amazing sight to behold. We also passed by a truck with a Teamsters sticker on the side and I was very tempted to stop and ask him if he actually knew where Jimmy Hoffa was buried. The next day I actually got to go and see the taping of the CBS Early Show. We had to leave the hotel at 5 am. It was till dark and I was still trying to wake up. Across the street from the studios, was the Plaza hotel which brought me back to watching Home Alone 2 and wondering if I would be able to find the Bird Lady in the park. The show was so much fun to watch however it was freezing and raining.

That day I also traveled to Time Square and to the theatre district. Now traveling off of the subway I saw something (well I heard it first) which made me laugh. It was a Peruvian Flute Band. The reason it made me laugh had to do with a South Park episode. Leaving the subway I actually headed for the theatre district because I wanted to see a show. So I got a ticket to see West Side Story. It was an amzing show despite the fact that i had to stand for the entire show. A t the show, I saw numerous celebrities inclusing Kelly Ripa, Spike Lee, Christie Brinkley, and former Governor Elliot Spitzer.

Traveling back from the show was very intersting. They told us that there would be a shuttle to pick us up at 74th and broadway. So I walked there thinking it would be alot easier than getting onto a subway. Apparently there is no stop at that street and there was no shuttle. So, I stood there for a while thinking how will get out of this city. Then, I decided to take a taxi, and 30 bucks later i was at the hotel. It was an interesting trip filled with thrills and adventures and I would love to go back because the city was amazing.
