York

Today New York city is a great place to live, even though is expensive the city give us all kind of benefits that concern our health. The upper west side neighborhood has a lot community centers and health facilities but like every place has their own problems, people are struggling with rent since the neighborhood is safe and schools have good reputation the demand is very high and landlords abuse the situation increasing the rent. Around the world we are struggling with global warming and…

The Islanders did something they have never done in their storied history last night at Madison Square Garden. By defeating their rivals, the New York Rangers, 4-1, they swept the season series (3-0-0-1). An accomplishment that honestly, probably means more to the fans than the players. What the Islanders lost in this game was not two points in the standings but could end up costing a whole lot more. With the playoffs due to begin on either Wednesday, April 13 or Thursday, April 14, Anders Lee…

Beautiful Scars As I wander out of the subway station, I gaze at the marvelous city of Manhattan. It is a beautiful autumn morning in New York. The temperature is a perfect balance between warm and cold. The leaves that had fallen from the trees are bright and full of life. The air is crisp with a scent of bread and pastries from a nearby bakery. I decide to advance toward the bakery for a cup of coffee. The past five months have been different. Ever since the accident occurred, I’ve been…

growing up in poverty, New York City obviously has a poverty problem (Cheney). Children that grow up in poverty are typically less healthy and drop out of school at higher rates than their wealthier peers (Children’s Defense Fund). As was noted in class, many families are plagued by generational poverty. They grow up in poverty, raise families of their own in poverty, and die in poverty, never breaking out of this vicious cycle. In light of this harsh reality, New York City has made fighting…

The legends of the New York Yankees, such as Babe Ruth, Lou Gehric and Joe DiMaggio, are too numerous to enumerate. As a recent topic, Derek Jeter has put an end to his brilliant playing days last year and I believe that the number 2 on his back will also be retired number in Major League Baseball in the near future for sure. However, I do not intend to introduce the story of the heroes like them this time because, needless to say over again, their biography have been already well known for many…

While walking to work, I took the time to think about how my life has changed completely since I moved to New York. When I first got here I didn’t even know where to go or to begin. I was just so emotionally drained out to the point where if something were to happen to me , I wouldn’t even care. But thanks to a certain someone my unexpected choice to moving to New York made me feel like I made the right choice. (Flashback) Once I gathered my luggage, I walked out of the plane. I saw families…

The movie Gangs of New York takes place in mid-19th century in the Five Points district located inside of New York City. The Five Points area was built on what was known as the Collect Pond; the Five Points was a very important part of the movie because this is where everyone got their fresh water. Eventually, overtime due to the amount of people immigrating here the water started to become contaminated in a short period of time. In other words, it stunk, and the place was filled with disease.…

“Why leave New York City to live here?” That is the question that often follows when someone learns of my family’s decision to move from the capital of the world to settle down in the uneventful Dauphin, Pennsylvania. The justification I generally give involves a statement about New York’s high living expenses and is often accompanied by my convincingly forced laughter. Such conversations lead me to speculate about the vast amount of people who romanticize New York City because of how the media…

Being in New York City itself was all too surreal, like a dream come true. Buildings raced each other in a quest to touch the soft blue sky and people littered the streets and sidewalks. Life there was upbeat and fast-paced and everyone and everything was moving, but then you crossed into Central Park. Crossing the sidewalk into the large park was like crossing the border into another world. The milieu changed from the rapid fire movement of the concrete jungle to slow-moving peace in the…

As the New York City Official guide, states on their website this is a “science museum with dinosaur fossils, exhibitions chronicling virtually all known animal and human history and, yes, some eye-popping IMAX movie action” with 5 million of visitors each year. For this reason, this museum is the second from the top 5 museums visited in New York. While I was visiting the museum I noticed people from all over the world as I could hear different languages like Mandarin, French, Spanish, German…
