AN INTERN IN NEW YORK - 2

It’s Monday morning and I am a bit tired… not because last weekend I did crazy things, but because in New York the weekend lasts the whole week and it never ends. I have done so many things since I came here 3 weeks ago and I still have plenty of things to do!! In New York also on Mondays you can choose among hundreds of activities (for example last Monday NYLC invited students to see a free movie in Bryant Park) so, if you really want to make the most of your experience, you basically never rest!!

 As I told you in my previous post I went on the Copacabana Cruise last Thursday. I highly  recommend it!!! Even though I love dancing I don’t usually go to clubs and I was afraid that staying 3 hours on a ferry with loud music and people dancing would have been too much… On the contrary the rhythm was pounding and all the people on the boat had so much fun. The best thing is that from the cruise the view of New York is breathtaking!!!!! The cruise gives you the possibility to see Manhattan from the west to the east side, including of course Downtown and the Statue of Liberty. You leave at dusk - in my opinion the best  part of the day as New York becomes magical - and before you know the night has come, all the buildings are lit, and you are dancing under the Brooklyn Bridge while staring at the renowned New York City skyline.

I have to admit that the view of Manhattan on top of the Empire State Building was less exciting. The problem is that being one of the most celebrated symbols of the Big Apple, it is always crowded and you have to “fight” to be able to see the panorama. You just have to be patient… because once you make it you have the capital of the world at your feet!! The Empire State Building (which is one of the activities the NYLC always promotes) should definitely be on your must do list. In case you need to be reminded, on top of the Empire State Building you really sense you are in one of the most incredible places on earth!!!!
