When In NYC Do As The New Yorkers Do

Alicia Keys sang it best: "In New York, Concrete jungle where dreams are made of there's nothing you can't do." If going to the Big Apple is on your bucket list here are some must see places and things to do.

1. Broadway


No matter the show, Broadway is absolutely phenomenal! Head on down to 42nd Street and enjoy the theatre magic.

2. Juniors

After a long day of being a New Yorker, take a break and try some yummy cheesecake!


3. Governor's Island

If you're looking for a getaway from the hustle and bustle, take a ferry to Governor's Island. Enjoy the colonial atmosphere and listen to the serenity of the Hudson River.

4. China Town (Wo-Hop)

Looking for some good Chinese food? Go to Wo Hop in China Town and try some of the best Asian cuisine you'll ever taste.

5. Brooklyn Bridge


Take the subway to Brooklyn and walk the bridge. But whatever you do, don't walk in the bike lane!


6. Top of the Rock


This is the view from the top of the Rockefeller building. Enough said...


7. Diamond District

It's true what they say, "Diamonds are a girl's best friend."

8. Dylan's Candy Bar


If you're a candy fanatic, like as myself, you will love Dylan's Candy Bar. Even the floor is made of candy.

9. 9/11 Museum and Reflecting Pool

What humbleness and grateful feelings come over you after viewing the 9/11 Museum and reflecting pool. We must never forget!


10. Times Square

I love the lights in Times Square. Whatever you do, don't talk to Elmo.

11. Central Park


You could spend a whole day in Central Park. However, you should definitely go up into the tower of the Belvedere Castle. Such a terrific view.

12. Grand Central

Watch people rush to and fro trying to get to work and take in the authentic feel of New York City living.


13. Ice Cream Museum

Go and dive into the pool of sprinkles! Yeah you heard me, SPRINKLES!


14. Little Italy

Some of the best pizza in your life.


15. High Line

Walk on top of the city on the old train tracks. You can relax in the sun or dine in the shade. It's one of the most unique places in NYC.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

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. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
