Sometimes, people need to take a break from their stressful days. Everyone has a special place, a place where people can find happiness, be themselves, and find peace. A place where you know you are just happy being there. For some it’s a quiet place, for others, it’s a noisy place. But all of these places have one thing in common; they are places that you think of first when asked. The place, where I feel perfectly content, it is at the beautiful Big Apple, New York City. In the city that never sleeps, there is so much you can do.
I love it there because it is a place where I can meet people from all over the world and I can never be bored. You can find everything in the city. Whenever I am in the city the first place, I go, is Times Square. I go there to my Times Square is my favorite place to window shop. Though the things there are super expensive to buy, I just love looking at them. Times Square is super chaotic. Yet I love it. It’s like living in my house; With the loud music, talking and the big screen. Central Park is another one of my favorite places. It is where I find a quiet place to read and think.
A stroll through the park by myself is a way to escape from everything. I love to listen to the birds sing and the rustling of the leaves in the trees while I walk down the path. I walk all the way to the lake and see the same thing every time. The quacking of the ducks wanting the bread that an old man gives them. I love to sit on the bench and read my book on my nook while watching the scenery around me. I remember when I was able to walk around the city by myself for the first time. I remember first walking into Central Park it was love at first sight. I looked like a beautiful live painted picture.
Then I came upon the lake and the quacking ducks with the old man giving them bread crumbs. Ever since then the lake is the first place I go to and it make me feel perfectly content. A unique thing about the city is that there are many places there that people do not know unless you wonder around the city. Like the Frick Collection I haven’t ever heard of these places when I first heard of the museum. At the Frick Collection, there is a collection of old master paintings and European artworks from before the 20th century. Walking through the Frick Collection brings me back to that era.
A super feature of the Frick Collection Museum is that there is a hidden bowling alley underneath it, which was used as a hang out to drink during the prohibition era. Not unless you go there. New York City sits as a bold and beautiful big apple, representing the best our country and what people have to offer. Going there makes me feel so happy because I love the diversity of culture and the fact that there is so much you can do. The city is so meaningful to me because I love that there is always something for everyone despite your condition and culture. New York City is my a special place where I find happiness.
