This amazing space, created in 2009, is the home to many paintings, creations, artwork, and gardens that stretch down above Chelsea. There is nothing better to do than relax and watch the High Line and take in the beautiful scenery it has to offer.

Especially during the summer, there is nowhere better to go than the High Line.

2. Take a stroll through Central Park


Central Park is the home to the city's most famous and beautiful park. Whether you walk your dog through the park all day long enjoying the ponds and views, or you go for a run to get exercise, there is nothing wrong with just walking through the park to get an aspect of what there is to see.

The "Met" offers a cheap price while being a source of inspiration for many aspiring artists or even just random stragglers to get a look at artwork that they might never be able to see anywhere else.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends.

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.
