New York Webquest

Hi dudes! For this blog, the website that I visited that seemed most interesting to me was The Met, because I really like to visit museums and that seemed to have a lot of history there. I also like the architecture of the building. I wanna go there now.

If I visited NYC again, I would like to do a lot of things. I went there two times, in winter both. The weather was so cold but I enjoyed anyways. Even if I couldn't stay there so much time, I visited a lot of places, like Central park. I rent a bike with my auntie and we ride there about three hours jajjaja, it was amazing, we almost freeze. We went to Times square too, The Hudson Yards and others places. Last year I went to Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn and Chinatown in a rush ajajaja. My auntie that lives in Miami loves to travel but she never has enough time to do trips because of work, so we always do it faster. We took a flight from Miami to New York and stayed there less than three days. It was so funny. Anyways, If I have the opportunity to go again, I would like to visit The High Line. I saw that urban intervention in classes, cool. The different museums like MoMA, The Met and The Guggenheim museum. I saw that last one while we were riding our bikes, but that time we rather go around the city than a specific place.

1. Statue of Liberty

The ticket prices for visiting the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island with Ferry Transfers are $31.80 dollars. To get there by ferry from Manhattan you have to take the bus, taxi or subway to Jersey City, and then to the Statue City Cruises battery Park. 

2. Central Park

There are so many places to visit there, one of them is the Central Park Zoo, to see animals. I didn't know that there was a zoo there, but if you want to go there you have to pay about $18 dollars, which is cheap . Also, you can go to free places like Belvedere Castle, Cherry Hill, Sheep Meadow, Reservoir, and more. I went to Central Park in winter and I expected to see the beautiful trees but there were with no leaves, most of then are perennial. Anyways, it was so nice to be there. To reach Central Park by subway it depends on where you are, but the station you have to find is 110 Street-Central Park North.

4. Times Square

There are events like concerts in summer, the New Year’s Ave. I heard about that one, there is a ball that drops at 12 o'clock, my auntie went there but it was full of people so she couldn't see anything at all lol. The subway lines that stop near Times Square are 1, 2, 3, 7, N and Q trains at all times, the W train during weekdays; the R and 42nd Street Shuttle (S) trains at all times except late nights. I used the subway to go to Brooklyn Bridge and it was kinda complicated to understand jajaja, my aunt and I almost got lost but we asked and arrived. I don't know how fr.
