About New York City
"New York, the Greatest City in the World!" Yes, you'll hear that shouted
as the David Letterman Show starts each week night on CBS. New York does
seem to have everything - all the time; the city never sleeps. One of the
outstanding features of New York City is the sports. Just about every
genre is viewable somewhere in the New York City area. Basketball features
two NBA teams, the Knicks (play in New York City) and the Nets (play in
East Rutherford - near Newark - New Jersey). Major league baseball is
represented by the American League's Yankees and the National League's
Mets, both New York City teams. To round out the sports venue, we have the
Giants of the National Football League and the Jets of the American
Football League. * * * Editor's note: In the space, below, we occasionally post little articles written by other visitors to the Big Apple. Your comments would also be very welcome.
Hello from New York City
Yesterday was a
pretty interesting day, the weather was cool and overcast, with rain
coming in during the latter part of the afternoon. A few weeks ago I had
booked a meeting with one of the Big Apple Greeters, an organization of
local NYC volunteers that takes out-of-town visitors around the city and
shows them local sights and shares local information. The service is a
great way to link up with a local New Yorker, and best of all, it's free
of charge. A quick jump onto this very
subway later, which runs on elevated tracks through a good chunk of
Queens, so you can actually see the neighborhood, and we arrived in
Jackson Heights, an area with a lot of Latin American immigrants and
further west we saw lots of South Asian (Indian, Pakistani and
Bangladeshi) stores. For a Torontonian seeing all
these ethnic stores is not all that unusual, since we have a lot of that
in Toronto too, but I am sure these ethnic neighborhood must be quite
unusual and unique for people who come from smaller less international
places. We then took the 47 and 19
Queens bus to a neighborhood called Astoria, where a lot of Greek
immigrants congregate. We ended up having dinner in a little quaint and
cosy Greek restaurant called Zygos Restaurant ("zygos" means "libra" or
"balance") where we continued our nice conversation with Suzanne, our
local expert. Suzanne has been a greeter for the last 12 years and has
studied all areas of New York City. She said she travels, by herself, into
all areas of NYC, including Harlem and the Bronx, and she loves exploring
and sharing the city that she loves with people from all over the world. When we left at about a
quarter to 7 pm, Suzanne had spent more than 7 hours with us and we had
really gotten to know each other quite well on a personal level. We also
we ended up exchanging email addresses and we extended mutual invitations
to stay in touch and I said I'd love to take her around whenever she comes
to the Toronto area. The Greeter experience has
been excellent, our personal local expert really loves her city and she
loves interacting with visitors and we definitely enjoyed her enthusiasm.
I am sure we have a new friend to call up next time we come to New York
City. About the author:
