Having never been, my boyfriend decided to take me back to his hometown for my birthday. I have my own ideas of what I should expect to see and do in New York City. All of these ideas come from exactly what I’ve seen on TV! I visualize carrying numerous bags full of New York City style from Macy’s Department store, hailing taxi cabs, the smell of hot dogs, honking horns and walking amongst thousands of people crowding the streets. No one ever moves out of my way…this should be interesting!  This may have something to do with the movie Sex and the City or better yet…The Godfather, as I’ve watched every one of them! The mob is so intriguing to me…shh, don’t tell anyone, “Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli”.

There is a certain culture that I’ve observed from people that call NY home. Call it pride, heritage or whatever you want, they never seem to miss an opportunity to say, “I’m from New York”. I’m anticipating finding out “Why”? I’m from Detroit and while there are certain things I love about Michigan, I don’t see fellow Michiganders with that type of ownership over their hometown.

 

So, here’s my question to all you New Yorker’s or people that have been there and LOVE it….. what is the one thing that I “must” do or see while I’m there?  Help!! Please comment below, I have 7 days there to do the following……..
