First we ate at Café 71, on the West Side. It was a little crammed but the service was fast and the food was great. I had chicken cutlet with roasted red peppers, field greens, tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese.
Then we began walking. While looking in the windows of every store we couldn't afford we started to imagine what it might be like to live here. I was worried there was too much industrialization. Tall buildings always make me feel blocked in like I'm on the set of a movie. However, I will give it to New York. They do a fine job incorporating little bits of greenery. All of the sidewalks featured mini-trees, and pansies, bushes, water fountains, etc. There was enough shrubberies growing to remind the city and myself that it is spring.
Central Park sincerely struck me, it's placement really is a beautiful asset to New York. I loved to see all walks of life stop to enjoy the beautiful day in the fast-paced place they call home.
In addition, New York's bright color schemes and intricate architecture make the entire experience unique. It's bursting with creativity. I can completely understand how the city inspires those who live there. Almost everywhere I turned my head made for a great painting.
We ended our adventure by visiting a friend who dances near Broadway. She is interning at a studio and takes up to five dance classes a day while still managing school and work. Amazing. She, much like New York, never gets a break. I was happy to come home and simply sleep in a place where you can see the stars building free. Although I do think it is a nice place to visit, I'll continue window shopping my life elsewhere.
