New York Essay…finally! :)

New York City is extremely patriotic, more so than many seem to think.  There is a notion established throughout the United States that New York City is home to extremely unpatriotic individuals that can only believe in one mindset, namely that of the super liberal.  I guarantee you, there are more American flags in New York City than probably anywhere else, especially within the immigrant community.

E.B. White speaks of what is expected  in New York City.  What I noticed however was that nature, which is all around us in the City, White only really speaks about in terms of Central Park.   This picture showcases nature, and was taken right outside the Brookdale campus.

There is even nature on the sides of many buildings, such as on this one here.  Vines and other plants grow across the founding bricks and create beautiful views for everyone to see.

Sorry that it’s on its side…Scaffolding in New York City is abundant and well received on night’s when snow and rain are falling.  There is always construction in New York.  As soon as one project is finished, another is started.

While scaffolding in some cases is very useful, it is also an obstruction that can destroy a scenic picture.

New York City never sleeps and establishments such as this restaurant with a “Late Nite Menu” are abundant to make room for the night’s lively ones.

There are many forms of transportation in New York, one of the least prevalent being automobiles.  There are stop lights throughout the city, winding their ways through the concrete jungle.

A man on the move, cigarette in hand, crosses the street when the “Don’t Walk” hand is bold it its orange glory.  Walking is probably the most commonly used form of transportation besides…

Public transportation is used by every New Yorker, whether old or young, short or tall, skinny or fat.  The Subway is convenient and fast (for the most part) giving every New Yorker their chance to get to their destinations on time.

                                cimg1811

Buses are also used quite frequently and represent a large number of people living in New York City.  They provide hugely necessary transportation and have become staples on every single street in New York’s five boroughs.
