and...The City
The city that’s called NYC is unique in itself. A metropolis, where you can find people of all origins, food of all tastes and clothes of all fashions. The city is as experimental as it is conservative. At points people are so conservative that they stick to blacks, greys and whites (all conservative colors) for their attires, and at points you can find the most amusing buffoons on the streets entertaining people in their own unique way. People tend to be self-involved in their own work, hardly noticing the guy walking by them (and staring too) sometimes passing a gentle smile that’s no more than an indication:"Mind your own work and watch your steps or you will run over me". The city is filled with hustle and bustle throughout the day, not even sleeping in night (really, the NYC transit subway runs all night here).
People say you can find everything in the city, for nature lovers there are lush gardens (biggest and most famous being the central park), for steel lovers there are great buildings, for fun lovers you can find all types of (night)clubs and for culture fanatics their are lots of events including art galleries, museums and above all The Broadway. The tickets are on a higher end, (exceeding 80-100 USD for a show at Broadway, a little less for off-broadway shows, but there are places where you can find cheap tickets (USD 50$ is what they call cheap :( ). Even with such a high price the shows are worth watching and an experience in itself.
I am yet to see any of it other than my office building so will post in detail later about the experiences with each one of them. But yes, did I tell you that I saw the Grand Central Station of New York, its really huge and marvelous building on 42nd street, Madison Avenue. The only comparison that I had for that building is CST, the good old VT station in Mumbai. In fact I couldn't stop comparing NYC with Mumbai. Or should I start calling it MC....naah, Mumbai sounds much better and familiar. But yes I felt many similarities in both the cities. The professional atmosphere, the cultural depth, the cosmopolitan culture...they all are imbibed in the air of both the cities and I kind of like that...very much.
