I love New York

I like new york too.

Here's some words by Ryan Adams

Well, I shuffled through the city on the Fourth of July, had a firecracker waiting to blow,
Breakin like a rocket who was making his way to the cities of Mexico.
Lived in an apartment, out on Avenue A, I had a tar-hut on the corner of Tenth,
Had myself a lover who was finer than gold, but I’ve broken up and busted up since.

And love don’t play any games with me anymore, like she did before,
World won’t wait, so I better shake that thing right out there through the door.
Hell, I still love you New York.

Found myself a picture that would fit in the folds of my wallet,
And it stayed pretty good.
Still amazed I didn’t lose it on the roof of the place,
When I was drunk and I was thinking of you.
Every day, the children, they were singing their tunes,
Out on the streets and you could hear from the inside.
Used to take the subway up to Houston and Third,
I would wait for you and I’d try to hide.

And love won’t play any games with me anymore if you don't want it to,
The world won’t wait, and I watched you shake.
But, honey, I don't blame you, hell, I still love you, New York.

I remember Christmas in the blistering cold,
In a church on the Upper West Side.
Babe, I stood there singing, I was holding your arm,
You were holding my trust like a child.
Found a lot of trouble out on Avenue B,
But I tried to keep the overhead low.
Farewell to the city and the love of my life,
At least we left before we had to go.

And love won’t play any games with me anymore, if you don’t want em to,
So we better shake this old thing out the door.
I’ll always be thinking of you, I’ll always love you though, New York.
 
New York State of Mind

Some folks like to get away
Take a holiday from the neighborhood
Hop a flight to Miami Beach
Or to Hollywood
But I'm talking a Greyhound
On the Hudson River Line
I'm in a New York state of mind

I've seen all the movie stars
In their fancy cars and their limousines
Been high in the Rockies under the evergreens
But I know what I'm needing
And I don't want to waste more time
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

It was so easy living day by day
Out of touch with the rhythm and blues
But now I need a little give and take
The New York Times, The Daily News

It comes down to reality
And it's fine with me 'cause I've let it slide
Don't care if it's Chinatown or on Riverside
I don't have any reasons
I've left them all behind
I'm in a New York state of mind

I'm just taking a Greyhound on the Hudson River Line
'Cause I'm in a New York state of mind

Thanks Billy Joel!:rose:

I have lived in New York City all my life, and I have recently thought of the many reasons why I love this City. Thought I'd just use some images to reflect some scenes that are forever in my heart and memories. Anyone else feel this way

Yes, yes, yes. (You will note however that the picture was taken from Weehawkin).

Staten Island Ferry

Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to get myself to lower Manhattan since Sept. 11th. I'm not sure I'm ready yet to look at the "new" skyline, plus it was where I worked for so long; so many sad memories.

However, riding back and forth on the S.I. ferry brings such lovely thoughts back to me of better times and the cool sea breeze.

Someone once said that New York

will be a great city once it's finished.

hmmmmm are you...

trying to convince yourself to stay here Jenny? Remember those memories will always be a part of you. So many things that Kotori has mentioned that I would like to try. Others I know have already vanished. There is always something to do in this city. I know when I was traveling abroad this summer I made a promise to myself to utilize NYC be it that I am so close to it. It is one of the best cities in the world. More so after the World Trade Center. We New Yorkers might take a beaten but we are tough. Hey we might be loud, obnoxious, skeptical and neurotic but you wouldn't meet a bunch of nicer people when you get past all of that. Besides there is a percentage of New Yorkers that are imported from all across the country and world. They chose for whatever reason to live in NYC. Thank you Jenny for sharing positive things about NY. Thank you also Kotori.

PEACE,
Tulip
 
psst Jenny...

I do not recall ever taking the ferry over to Staten Island and I would be honored if you did that with me one of these days. There is that poetry place in SI run by the same person that runs the erotic rave. The poetry is not all erotic in SI. Think about it. It would be nice to have a good friend with me on that journey also. I am unable to bring myself to that section. I still think they should make a park out of it in memory of all the lives lost. I know however that is probably not what is going to happen because of the value of property. I just hope that the politicians and business people in charge realize it is a delicate situation and will make allowances given the situation.

Peace,
Tulip
 
Yes, Tulip.... a lot of memories are running through my brain right now. (It's a shame Oman didn't get the "chance" to see more of NYC during his visit!):D

When I was living in Brooklyn, my uncle would get the cravings for Nathan's, and we'd hop in the car, even in the middle of the winter, and drive over and grab some fries, hot dogs and clam chowder! MMMmmmmmmmm.

Jenny ...

I think Oman was right where he belonged this trip around. I do not think he regreted a thing. Next time you will plan a more sight seeing one. Do not forget to scheduale in those intimate ones. Oh and most important more time to spend with your lit friends from NY. Remember there is always next time.

Peace,
Tulip
 
You're welcome

Me, I live in the fly-over now, and I'm just feeling homesick. It's been terrible somedays since September--I feel like I should be with "my people."

In spite of the way we treat each other, the only thing any visitor has to do to have a dozen helpful (or not) opinions is stand on any corner and unfold a map. You'll see a demonstration of that famous institution, the "New York Minute."

I thought of more:

The Village Vanguard, then the Kettle of Fish . . .

Seeing first run foreign films on 58th Street, across from the Plaza . . .

The Irish Arts Centre in Hell's Kitchen . . .

Governor's Island . . .

The cable car to Roosevelt Island, and the view of Tudor City . . .

The cool shadows of a summer lunch in Trinty Churchyard . . .

P. J. Clarke's . . .

Jonathan Schwartz on Sunday mornings . . .
 
Jenny,

When I lived back east, we used to visit New York City on a regular basis. Since moving to the Midwest, I don't get the chance to visit there at all anymore.

When I went to visit my family at Thanksgiving we had planned on taking her three boys and my son to NYC on the train and then spending the night there. But, because of circumstances, we decided to wait. Now, we're planning on doing that during Easter Break or during the summer.

We want to take the boys on the Ferry that goes around the Statue of Liberty and do all of the touristy things. lol The boys also want to see a taping of Saturday Night Live. I'm not sure if we'll be able to do that, though. They also just want to look at all of the tall buildings and go to the Empire State Building, too.

As for me, it's such an amazing city to behold. There is no place else like it on earth and I can't wait to see it once again.

I spent one very memorable day in Manhattan the end of June of 2001. I loved it!

I envy you Jenny, living in the middle of such a wonderful and vibrant city.

I would like to go back for a week to see more of your beautiful city.
 
Enchanted...

it is possible. Now if it is a warm day you can take the speed boat ride. It is like a half hour and it is fun. That is if nobody has back injuries. If you want to do a slower version you have the circle line. It does a full tour around NYC or a half tour.

This summer friends of mine and I took my Aussie friend on the speed boat ride that left at south street seaport. We were able to do the Empire State Building in the morning. Which is probably adviseable. We also went to the UN. I am pretty sure we took the subway. The subways are faster to get around in NY. It all depends on your adventure. After that on the boat ride, dinner at South Street Seaport, and Times Square in the evening. We probably got home after 11pm.

I am sure Jenny can hook you up with other ideas. Good Luck!

Peace,
Tulip
 
Thank you so very much, tulip2lipservice!

I appreciate all of the information you gave me. They are all such great ideas.

I can't wait to do this now.

Hugs,
Enchanted
 
Kotori... you're hitting some very memorable spots in your recollections! (Thinking now of egg creams at Dave's near the Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan side.)

Enchanted and Rubyfruit: living here is such a pleasure yet I have taken so much for granted; so many things have changed, and now with the possibility of living elsewhere, I realize how much I'm "missing" even by living here!:rolleyes:

For example: I have not been to the TOP of the Empire State Building (Oman and I were planning on this, but didn't get there for Valentine's Day ala "Sleepless in Seattle"!).

Most Welcome Enchanted..

I am sure there are a lot of things you can pull up off the internet also. Another day we went into time square where the 1/2 price tickets are for Broadway. I know it is on the internet with the location and time to buy. If you are staying at a hotel might be easier to have them purchase for you.

The Statue of Liberty is nice but that is like a full day. To climb the stairs and all. Basically it is the lines in there that makes it go so slow. So if you are not interested in waiting in lines see it from the boat this time and another time go and make a day picnic out of it.

There is so much and Kotori and Jenny are making me see so much that I need to see. Do not forget to do Central Park. You have the zoo, several lakes (the sailboat area one of my favorites), ice skatting (probably too warm when you get here), merry go round, etc.

If you find a babysitter for your sons try to go to a jazz place. There are several on internet but the Blue Note more blues is a popular tourist attraction.

By Times Square there are some arcades as far as I can recall. Make sure you have your quarters. If not try Coney Island during the day. It is still safe in the day time.

Yes, Jenny so much in your city. So much I have not utilized. I really need to get a move on and accomplish such things.

Peace,
Tulip
 
I've been lucky to have the good fortune of Metro North
to take me into the city (without driving!) from CT.....from
where I live its about one hour and 15 minutes by train.....

However I don't get into the city as much as I would like.

Fun times do include:
*Messiah Sing-in at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center
around the holidays (when I was in high school)
*seeing diff. Broadway shows (got to see "Phantom",
"Tommy", "Crazy For You", "Lion King", "Rocky Horror
Show" to name a few!)
*finally having the opportunity to go to Times Square to
ring in the New Year for 2001!! Hey, very cold out but
the roar of the people keep ya warm! :)
*I did take the SI ferry when I visited my old boyfriend
from college (he's orig. from there)....its the cheapest
ride in the city!
