8 Reasons You Should Go To NYC At Least Once

Claire Fox

1. The diversity

The diversity in NYC is unlike any other place in the world. If you are an American, this is the place to experience other cultures without leaving the United States.

2. Broadway

Best day of my life seeing "Wicked" for the first time ever and on Broadway.

Claire Fox

You cannot see Broadway acting anywhere else. It is an unbelievable experience, seeing any play or musical on Broadway.

3. The subway

Claire Fox

The subway is such an unique experience for anyone who is not a New Yorker, and I think we all should experience that form of transportation because it is pretty wild.

4. There's so much to see just walking down the street.

I had to stop to take a picture because this is a SCHOOL.

Claire Fox

Walking down the street is like going to a museum. That's reason enough to go.

5. The museums

The museums are awesome and some are even free.

6. The food

What dreams are made of

Claire Fox

Food from all different cuisines at every corner.

7. Ellen's Stardust Diner

The waitstaff perform Broadway numbers all while waiting tables. It's amazing.

8. The ceilings of Grand Central Station

I was enthralled.

Claire Fox

Yes, I think the ceilings of Grand Central Station are a reason to go to New York City. To say I love it is an understatement.

NYC is truly a magical place and I want everyone to have the opportunity to experience its wonder. Start planning your trip now!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
