Sunday, NYC-Brittany Johnson

Today has been absolutely wonderful! First thing, we explored China Town and Little Italy. So much fun, so different and neat! I ate lunch at Taormina Ristorante and I loved the authentic Italian food! Taormina is a resort town on the eastern coast of Sicily, it was founded by Greek Colonist in the 4th century. Took the subway and it was definitely an experience, it'll take me some time before I get used to that. Time Square was by far the neatest thing ever, breathtaking! Ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe! It was really good. Spent some time shopping at Forever 21; still amazed at the 4 floors! Been a great day overall. 

 

I would roll up pennies to take the subway to work in Times Square. I was broke, but I was happy. -Jennifer Garner

What a Day!

Today we spent so much time walking around shopping and exploring the city. We were so tired by mid afternoon we had to come back to the hotel and take a nap to refuel. We went to Time Square, Chinatown, and Soho. Since it was foggy today we didn't get to go to the Empire State Building. I'm looking forward to visit to the Federal Reserve tomorrow.

Rain, rain, go away.

Despite the fact that it rain all day in NYC, I had a great time exploring the city. I learned how to bargain with vendors at Chinatown. I ate delicious Thai food and NYC's famous hot dogs. I'm looking forward to learn more about the Federal Reserve tomorrow.

day 2 NYC

So... I forgot to blog yesterday. The day was kinda crazy. It was overwhelming coming into the big apple. I was very surprised at how tiny our rooms are. Today has been eventful. We have gone to the empire state building, china town, we had lunch in little italy, and we walked across the manhattan bridge. We are in time square now. Weve been shopping and we are about to eat at the hard rock cafe. Today has been incredible and it isn't even over yet!

Despite the weather today we were able to explore the city and had a good time.  Went to Little Italy and China town, rode the subway a couple times, visted Time Square and had a blast!

NYC Sunday Trey Smith

It is raining today. The weather is not cooperating, but we still ventured out. We rode the NYC subway for the first time today. It was very crowded, and the people were quiet. They all looked serious the entire ride. The people have a totally different attitude. We went to Little Italy, Chinatown, and the Manhattan Bridge. We stopped to eat in Little Italy. The restaurant was amazing. The food was superb. We shopped along the way also, the prices were very affordable. Today was a great day, despite the rain.

We Finally Made It!!!

First night here! I think everyone is worn out from the plane rides and layover. The hotel is right near Madison Square Garden. The area is nice and we have a lot of choices for food. I'm looking forward to tour the Empire State Building and Chinatown tomorrow!

After a long day of travel, we finally arrived at NYC. We ate the famous New York pizza and we walked around town. We went to Times Square and saw very interesting people. -Iliana

New York City! Trey Smith

I am very excited to arrive in New York. I have always wanted to go to New York. The Statue of Liberty, Grand Central Station, and the World Trade Memorial are a few examples of the places I want to visit. The city is so different from what we experience on a daily basis. This should be an amazing trip!
