Brandon EdwardsNew York City provides a look into a powerful cultural hub of the United States that is only a two-hour trip from the Cabrini College community.
New York City is divided up into five boroughs; Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Since the city is so big, it is often recommended that one has a plan of all the places they want to hit up once they get into the city.
Even though New York City is big in size, it fortunately has one of the best transportation systems in the country. A visitor can get around easily by hailing a cab. A less expensive way to travel is also the subway. Metro cards can be purchased in various increments and will allow you to use them to get to virtually anyplace in the city.
Deemed the city that never sleeps, New York City offers many events for visitors to stop and see especially during the holiday season. For example, the Rockefeller Center Tree that is something any visitor should not pass up. Another fun event to hit up during the holidays is the New York Transit Museum’s presentation of their annual Grand Central Holiday Train Show.
In addition to special holiday events, there are also a multitude of places to shop, a plethora of must-stop sightseeing destinations and a collection of eateries that would make everyone’s mouth water.
On Dec. 3, 2005, Cabrini College will be providing a trip to New York City for five dollars. The buses leave at 9 a.m. and will return at 9 p.m.
