Travel Guide in NYC
During the journalism field trip to New York, we visited many places and saw many sites.
The first thing we did as soon as we got to New York was we went to Columbia University. Columbia is a college with an excellent journalism program and a nice campus. I would recommend anybody who is interested in pursuing a career in journalism seriously consider Columbia University.
After we went to Columbia, we went back to our hotel, the Marrakech. This hotel was below average, as it had small rooms, confusing room locations, and the bare minimums to be called a hotel. However, the hotel was very cheap so if you lack cash and don’t care for comfort, then the Marrakech is right for you.
Later that day, we went to the Olive Garden. This restaurant was very high quality and I recommend it to anybody who doesn’t mind spending $20 a person. The breadsticks and pasta were delicious, and I left there feeling quite satisfied.
After dinner, we walked around Times Square for a while. Nothing truly compares to the flashing lights and gigantic advertisements that you see every few feet. However, I learned quickly that everything you can buy at Times Square costs a lot of money.
My personal favorite place to go in Times Square was the ESPN Zone. This was a four story building with something different on each floor. The ground floor sold shirts, mugs, and other collectibles and it served as a gift shop that any sports fan could enjoy. The second floor was an eating area with big screen, plasma TV’s on the wall. The third floor held the biggest bar I have ever seen, and the bar also consisted of more plasma TV’s. Finally, the fourth floor held a game room which consisted of an air hockey table, basketball hoops, and many other cool games.
After walking around Times Square, we went to the Broadway Show, Hairspray. I was surprised when I actually enjoyed the play. However, the seats were extremely close together and it got swelteringly hot up in the balcony.
When the next day came, I started my morning by eating at Tom’s Restaurant. This small restaurant was made famous by the TV sitcom Seinfeld, and the food was great at a cheap price.
Finally, I couldn’t leave New York without visiting their gift shops. While in them, I noticed that Red Sox fans hate the Yankees a lot more than the Yankee fans hate the Red Sox. Here in Massachusetts, we have a brand of clothing named Yankee Hater, but in New York, there wasn’t one article of clothing hating the Red Sox.
