"New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made of
There's nothing you can't do
Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big Lights will Inspire You
Let's Hear it for New York, New York,
One of my favorite cities on the planet. I may even move back here after college. There is NOTHING about this city that you can't love: The Broadway Musicals, the shopping, Time Square, Central Park, the music scene, the nightlife, the constant throngs of people, a Starbucks on every corner, and so much more.
For those of you who have never been, book a flight immediately. It's called the "City that Never Sleeps" for a reason!
