Oh well after 8 days in NY tomorrow morning I am like a masochist from Newport (New England bound (© Family guy)) So I guess it is time to think about how things have been here in New York. Firstly have I done as much as you can really do in one week in this town, my favourate song about this town is ‘New York City’ by They Might be Giants. This includes a verse showing the best things as they see it about NYC:
“Statue of Liberty, Staten Island Ferry, Co-op City, Katz's and Tiffany's*
Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, The Empire State where Dylan lived**
Coney Island and Times Square, Rockefeller Center
Wish I was there”
By my count I have 9 from 12, which isn’t bad for one week. So I have done pretty much as I could without being silly for the week. So what do I now think of NYC, this is a real city of contrasts between the haves and have not’s, it is exciting and frustrating, it is exhilarating and exasperating, and many other couplets. Overall I think the most obvious thing is also the most important, I am very pleased I get to come to this city, but I am even more pleased I don’t have to live here
