New York City Narrative

When I first came to New York, it was a completely different world to me. It was the first time I was away from my family and my loved ones, and I haven’t noticed that it would be such a long journey until I landed to NYC after a 10 hour flight. At first it was very scary, and as a shy person, it was difficult for me to adapt to this new environment.

New York City’s old slum neighbourhood, the Five Points, was notoriously known for its vice and crimes. The first organized crime group in New York City was the Forty Thieves which was led by Edward Coleman, started in 1825, in the back of a grocery store. The Dead Rabbits were an Irish gang in the Five Points area, and are most known for the riot they caused in 1857. The Eastman Gang were a Jewish group in the Five Points area, which began in the late nineteenth century, and were the rival of the Five Points Gang. The Five Points Gang was another group, started by Paul Kelly and included future famous mobsters. In Five Points, where most of New York City’s crime started, it also started some of history’s most notorious gangs, and mobsters.

anywhere in the city and instantly know you are in New York City. As cities grew over time,

New York is a place with a diversity and plenty of room to grow in any direction you choose. New York City is a place of many opportunities. It gives me a feeling that I can accomplish anything I set out to do.

Life in the suburbs is pretty dull, but every day in Brooklyn, and the entire city of New York, is an adventure. Just walking down the street and seeing all of the different people and sounds can be an adventure, especially to little kids. Most kids have to read picture books to see trucks, and ambulances, and taxis and trains and planes, but not in New York. A kid can just walk down the street and see all of them within a ten-minute

Manhattan is one of the major cities in New York in which millions of tourist go to considering the fact that there are big attraction places like Central Park, the Empire State Building, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the High Line and One World Observatory; world-class museums, posh restaurants and concert halls; and the bright lights of Times Square and Broadway. Aside from all that, Manhattan

Although regarded as the `most populated city ' in the United States, the whole city has something interesting to offer everyone. It is sub divided into five boroughs , being Queens , The Bronx , Brooklyn , Manhattan , and Staten Island respectively .The landmarks in New York city are known all over the world . There is the famous Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Wall Street, the sky scrapers, and the World Trade Center, now called ground zero. One of Manhattan’s famous landmarks is Times Square.

New York City, the city that never sleeps. One of my mom's favorite song has always been New York, New York by Frank Sinatra. Having spent most of her life in Brooklyn, New York, it's considered her second home. My brothers and sister grew up there while I was born in Colorado. I still however have lots of family there, grandparents, aunts, uncles and many many cousins, and I visit regularly. The words of Frank Sinatra still rings true, if you can make it here you can make it anywhere!

Some say it’s the busiest city, traffic is always backed up and people walking side by side trying to get where they need to be on time. New York City. It is pretty hectic but when all is calm and the sunset slowly goes down on the horizon, you wouldn’t want to be anywhere else. The aura of the city is so energetic and always on the go which makes it a perfect place for the city’s heros, Sage and Bolt.

The sounds of the city penetrated the walls of the cab as we drove through the streets of Manhattan. I could hardly wait to partake in the action that was happening outside. The buildings themselves were an amazing site to behold. The buildings took on personalities of their own. Each building was bigger and more graceful than the next. When lights were added to the mix it was a dazzling combination. The city itself felt like a great big hug, and I felt overwhelmed by its power. The city allowed me to become part of it just like many others many years ago who immigrated to this awesome city. As I was looking out of the cab I finally got to see in person the sight of all sights; Times Square. The main juncture of

The whole place just gives the best feeling that I have never felt before. It was like a spa place that it is so quiet, yet it feels so magical with candles all over the place and it is sort of dark were you can feel so relaxed once you lay down in this very comfy bed that is covered in white silk covers with fluffy pillows that almost feels like marshmallows. My apartment is filled marvelous paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and with his famous paintings of ‘Starry Night’ and ‘Sunflowers’ and some motivated quotes on the wall. Having these paintings will sure describe my living experience in New York. The painting ‘Starry Night’ shows the meaning of the alluring skyline at night in the city where it has the bright lights from each of the windows of the buildings and how the sky is yet very dark but still see the shade of blue in the sky. Also in the painting it shows a little wind which in New York sort of has at night time a little breeze that can give you slight goose bumps in your arms. The other painting by Vincent Van Gogh ‘Sunflowers’ shows a meaning for me in the summertime in New York where all the flowers bloom up and the bright sun rises up into the city. That feeling when you get up from bed, in the summertime, with a big smile on your face and having to see the people around you with their faces so uplifting. In the center of my living room, I would have this crystal chandelier that is very appealing with white crystals and small diamonds around

I will talk about is Attractions. There are many amazing places to visit in New York city like Empire state building, Statue of liberty, Rockefeller Center,and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. One major place is the empire state building people think of it as a symbol of New York. One other place is the Rockefeller Center it is a vast entertainment center and shopping area with an outdoor skating rink it is most popular during winter it is in the middle of Manhattan on 5th avenue. The Statue of liberty is also one place you must go to if you go to New York it is on a small island named Liberty island. Also The Metropolitan Museum of Art is home to over 2 million works of art. Highlights of the collection include American decorative arts, arms and armor, costumes, Egyptian art, musical instruments, and photographs, along with much more. Also the different sections of New York is a major attraction like Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn,

The bright city lights, the food, the entertainment, and the energy vibe you get, all fascinate me. I’m currently a junior in highschool, so I have two more years to complete. After high school, I plan to relocate to New York City, and pursue my dreams to become a doctor. Living in a city can open up so many opportunities, because there exist more places to work at and hundreds of people. I come off more as a city person than a small town person.

Well, to get it out of the way, the first reason I will talk about for going to New York City is because of the general attractions the city has, as in landmarks and famous places. Unfortunately, describing the interesting places of a city or town is a bland staple of any essay that focuses on a vacation destination, including this one. With New York, the general attractions (although spectacular), are a bit worn down. NYC’s famous places have been heard about by everyone and have been in everything, making the city a bit of a tourist trap. With all of those famous buildings, museums, architecture, and landmarks, how could it not be? New York being a tourist trap isn’t

It’s raining and New York City smells like warm, wet dog. Aromas of rotting garbage, suspicious urine, and suffocating humidity percolate throughout the atmosphere, slowly killing us all.
