From
the skyscrapers of New York City to the powerful Niagara Falls...
From
the iconic Statue of Liberty to the glittering lights of Broadway and
Times Square...
From
prestigious universities to gorgeous gorges...
New
York state is home to some of the most admired culture and diversity,
some of the most visited tourist spots, and some amazing natural
beauty!
The
eleventh state to ratify the Constitution, on this date in 1788, New
York isn't as large as most of the state in the West, but its
population is fourth in the nation. Of course, this is partly due to
the one-of-a-kind bustle that is New York City, the largest city in
the United States.
I
live near a really large city, Los Angeles, but NYC is more than
twice as large! (But loads of cities in the world are larger than New
York, New York, including FIVE cities in China and even such unlikely
cities as Lima, Peru and Lagos, Nigeria.)
Here
are some of my very, very favorite things about New York:
I
love, love, love Watkins Glen State Park.
Niagara
Falls is spectacular. See it from the top, both sides, see it from
Goat Island, and of course see it (and FEEL it in every bone in your
body) from the Maid of the Mist boat.
Central
Park, in New York City, is pretty great. Two favorite things, for me,
are the Alice-in-Wonderland statue and the boulders that crop up here
and there.
NYC
has amazing shopping and food. One thing I loved are the macarons
that were as pretty as they were delicious!
My
husband, on the other hand, is more of a huge-sandwich kind of guy.
I
liked exploring the Adirondack Mountains and the Finger Lakes, of
course. We saw plenty of wonderful waterfalls, such as the Ithaca
Falls.
This
is something I didn't get to see – but would love to someday: New
York in the fall!
