Going to New York was always a fun adventure. Being just a two hour drive made it a convenient destination for Philadelphians. From class trips to the Empire State Building, to Canal Street shopping with the girls and Broadway shows with the hubby, I enjoyed my visits to New York City. It was much more hustle and bustle and crowded than Philadelphia but that was okay since I didn't have to live there. My favorite thing about New York City is the many restaurants and theaters.

I grew up in New Jersey, so trips into NYC were commonplace, both as school field trips and visits for events and to see the sites with family. We went to Radio City Musical hall on numerous occasions which I loved. I remember a Christmas show that had live animals on stage for the nativity scene. The Statue of Liberty is probably my favorite visit.Linda Matchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921797723329487407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-35899227995078273432020-04-07T06:37:11.197-04:002020-04-07T06:37:11.197-04:00I've been to NYC twice in my life.

Then I went with a friend who took me on a whirlwind tour when we saw FAO Schwartz, though we didn't go in, the Trump Tower and Ellis Island. It was fun but the older I get, the less I enjoy crowds and my husband doesn't enjoy cities so I don't think there will be a redo! Thanks for the post. When I think of "slavery" in NY, I tend to think of the indentured immigrants like the Irish, so this was an eye-opener.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
