You Have To Go To New York City At Least Once In Your Life For These 5 Reasons

In This Article:

New York City, the city that never sleeps. One of the best places in the world if you'd ask me I've been three times now and I would go a million times more if I had the chance. There are a few reasons why you have to go to New York City at least once in your life and I'll tell you why.

1. Theater

As a past musical theatre dancer, I have a great appreciation for the theatrical arts. Although I have only been to one show on Broadway, I think that the whole theatre is such a fun place. I saw Wicked a few summers ago on Broadway and it was absolutely amazing. The actors, the costumes, and the sets are just so awesome, you have to see a show if you go to the city.

2. The buildings

I would go to NYC just for the buildings alone. There are so many different styles and types of buildings, and there really are no two buildings alike. Just take Times Square for instance, all the buildings with the bright digital billboards, so fun and so photogenic too! There are buildings of glass, buildings of brick, stone, you name it. Regardless of the material, no matter what angle or filter you use when taking photos of the New York City buildings, it's absolutely impossible to get a bad picture of them.

3. The food

The food of the city is unlike no other place I have ever traveled. Not only is there street food on every block you turn on, but there are different restaurants all over the city. Some of the best places I have ever eaten have been the many hole in the walls in New York City. And don't forget about the food in Little Italy... TO DIE FOR! There is at least a dozen different Italian restaurants and bakeries with pasta, pizza, and cannolis that you could only dream about. If you go to New York City any time soon I highly recommend trying Black Tap, Lombardi's, and Ferrara's!

4. The culture

The New York City culture is so amazing. There are so many different types of people in the city, but they are all there to enjoy the joys that New York City offers. From China town to Little Italy to Korea Town, there is so much culture to experience and it is so cool to experience.

5. The experience

The New York experience is unlike anything else. The hustle and bustle is really what makes New York so special. There are so many people trying to get to so many places at one time its super cool to see, especially if you take the subway. By the way, if you go to New York City, I recommend taking the Subway at least once because it is just so cool to see how locals and residents get around town every single day. Also, if you haven't been to New York City during the winter/Christmas time, I HIGHLY recommend. The lights and decorations are so stunning and breathtaking, you just have to experience it for yourself!

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
