Start Spreading The News , I’m Leaving Today……………..

and how I wish I was…..
I went to New York in March 2005 and it was by far one of the best trips I have ever done. As soon as you arrive in the big apple the excitement and buzz of the city hits you straight away . I was very excited about seeing somebody famous but unfortunaetly the closest I got  was a very good look a likey of Trevor Mcdonald at Grand Central station!!!.
 If you go to New York do not waste a second because there is just so much to see and do you cant cram it all in. We started with all your typical touristy things but they are a must have ,  just so you can tick them off on your to do list .The Empire State buliding – amazing the views are sensational and just so bizarre to see the yellow cabs as small as ants below. Central Park – stumbling across the park in such a busy built up city is surreal but very beautiful.Statue Of Liberty – sailing over on the little boat to see her and when you get close up she is very impressive and fascinating to read up on her history. Did you know she was built in copper and turned green over the years due to the elements in the sea. I could go on and on but not to bore you to much will give you my favourite things to do in New York :

* Tavern On The Green  – The only restuarant actually in Central Park
*Ice Skating in Cental Park – Really fun but wrap up warm it is bitterly cold in New York in the off peak months.
*Oyster Bar In Cental Station – You can spoil youself with Oysters or sit back and have a Martini (apple is best)
*West End Show – Times Square is buzzing at night and The Lion King Is spectacular especially the huge mechanical elephant.
* The View Restaurant – It revolves around the city while eating your meal , bit confusing if you have popped to the loo make sure you dont go and sit  at someone elses table.
