Welcome to The Big Apple! This is the New York City's nickname.

This place is one of those cities that I could go back to year after year. A journey to New York has been on my bucket list since I watched a popular movie called Home Alone 2: Lost in New York with a legendary boy, Kevin, that probably all people from my generation recognise. This amazing city is also regarded as the Great American Melting Pot. Whether you believe me or not, it was pretty hard to find a real New Yorker there! New York is a really multicultural city. In Manhattan you can visit Little Italy and taste a real Italian cuisine or China Town where I had difficulties speaking in English with people living there since their accent has asignificant Chinese influence and it wasn't easy to understand tchem clearly. They opened there a lot of Chinese shops, hotels, banks, restaurants and even a hospital. In Little Brazil you can visit Brazilian restaurant and practise your Portuguese! In Brooklyn, I visited Green point, where you can find a place called Little Poland! Even though there are a lot of Polish shops,restaurants and cafes, this place looks, unfortunately, like Poland 20 years ago... 

Manhattan is absolutely my favourite borough of New York City. The skyscrapers are breath-taking. Time Square is the heart of Broadway and the busiest place of the city. It's also regarded as the main centre ofworld's entertainment. There are countless large, attention-grabbing and bright billboards. On of the best experience during my visit in New York was Rockefeller Centre where I went to Top of the Rock Observation Deck. Ir was a fabulous sightseeing attraction! I enjoyed the panoramic view of New York from the 70th floor! It was such more to talk about The Big Apple... but let's leave it for next time!
