New York City Descriptive Essay

Narrow cobblestone streets above wide canals, rosy cheeked people riding bicycles, interesting museums, old windmills, beautiful tulips, and cheese to die for. I do not have to add “coffee shops” and the Red Light District for you to realize what place I am talking about, do I? I am obviously talking about the lovely city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.

The film opens with an extreme long shot camera angle, which depicts a vast area from a great distance of New York City. Interestingly, the movie was not filmed in any studio lots or soundstage. In fact, hidden cameras were used to film much of the street action. These cameras were used to capture the essence of the city itself. Many of hidden cameras shot from a long distance, therefore capturing an entire area of action. The narrator of the film, Mark Hellinger, who was also the producer, poses several philosophical thoughts about the city while the lights are turning off at the respected area; “Does money ever sleep, I wonder [referring to the main floor of a large bank at night deserted]? Does a machine become tired [referring to night lights being casted over silent machines]? Or a song [empty street lit by only a few lights]? Does stone ever feel weariness [panning up to see a flat, monumental surface rising to the sky]?” Later in the film, Mark Hellinger states “and even this [referring to the two men walking to the edge of the pier], too, can be called routine in a city of eight million people.” I believe this was extremely important for Hellinger to highlight, to show that anyone can be doing anything, and that, in essence, creates

New York City is made up of five boroughs, which include the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Within these boroughs, there are high and low-income neighborhoods that contain either high or low status organizational structures or facilities. Each division has their own characteristics and top attractions, such as the Empire State building, Central Park, or Times Square. As New York City may be known for great food and fun attractions, New York faces infrastructure problems within each borough. New York City’s infrastructure funding is limited in lower income neighborhoods, where money needed to upkeep the city goes toward prime tourist’s areas or residents living in high status neighborhoods, such as The Upper East Side of Manhattan, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn, and Lenox Hill, Manhattan. Moreover, abandoned buildings, poor sewage conditions, and rocky roads and streets are examples of low-income area infrastructure problems that may hinder neighborhood growth both structurally and economically. Harlem, East Brooklyn, and South Bronx are low-income parts of New York that lack new and refined facilities, roads, plumbing, and fundamental structures, which contribute to high crime and arrests.

It a place with brightest light that shine at night and buildings that stand so tall that you have crane your neck to look up. I visited New York City a couple of times and those are things that I could never get enough of, but their one tiny thing that I can't stand about New York and that is the New York subway system. Yes the subway is the easiest way to get around NYC, but for me it not so much. My first time in NYC my parents decide that they wanted to use the subway to get around the city. My first thought is that it is going to be dark, dirty, with homeless people sleeping on the floor. when we went in I was surprised because it wasn't like anything I expected. It was clean and there was no people sleeping on the floor, but there was

It had been a long and stressful week for me so I was happy that I could finally enjoy another Gotham NY class again. I was excited once I heard our next journey through the city would be Chelsea and The Village. I have visited these areas before and have always dreamed that I will one day move there. We started off the day by walking the High Line on 30th street and Tenth Avenue. The High Line is an elevated park within the city that stretches 1.45 miles long. The park was once a street level freight line that transported people through the center of Chelsea. However, because the area’s streets were chaotic and overcrowded, there were many fatalities. Many New Yorkers had actually even known Tenth Avenue as “Death Avenue”. Due to this the

Utah is most known for its beautiful sightings located all over its state, however, I was lucky enough to visit the capital of Utah, Salt Lake City, which had some of the most beautiful sightings in my opinion. It has a beautiful weather, nothing like El Paso’s. It rains almost every day and has really big mountains covered in clouds throughout the night, but in the morning you fail to realize that the mountain top is filled with snow. Although the weather is nice, it still becomes hot, but unlike El Paso, your body doesn’t melt. Utah is also home of the Mormon religion, or The Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter Day Saints. Located downtown is the beautiful and ginormous Temple Square. Within his Temple square is the obvious, Great Temple

New York, a state that is well known but feared. When meeting a New Yorker most people will expect to meet someone who is intimidating, fast paced, rude, and a little cocky and honestly they would be right most of the time but this is because they operate within a different state of mind, the mind set of step up, speed up, or get the F out of the way. New York is the melting pot of the world, being one of the most diverse places of culture, food, being the center of financial trading, fashion, entertainment and having the ability to come together during hardship.

Living in America is a fantasy for a lot of people, but living in New York City is something even better, and more magical than any fantasy.

When you mention New York to anyone, they automatically think about Times Square. This beautiful place with skyscrapers, Central Park, and a unique transportation system. However, if you were to ask me what I think about New York; I believe the skyscrapers block the sun, Central park is just a regular park for dogs, and the subway trains rarely run consistently especially in the mornings. I have lived in New York for 18 years, and I have yet to understand what everyone likes about the “ Big Red Apple.”

It’s 7:30am, I step outside onto my apartment balcony. Cars are zooming down the over crowded streets, staunch buildings towering over me blocking the greeny lush hills far away. People rapidly walking down the sidewalk. In front of my eyes are shimmery silver and navy colours reflecting from the sky high buildings, they stand out more than the joyous light blue sky itself. Sounding in my ears are cars angrily roaring every 5 seconds, people barking at taxis to stop, an earth shaking sound that’s mixed with sound of a hurricane that’s just the aeroplane taking off from the city airport. The mouth watering smell of the local bakery down the road lingers through my nose, I can taste those freshly baked scones in my mouth from here.
