    New York Intro This review started out as just one review, however it was getting into the 6000 word mark, so I decided to take out and edit the bits that went over 1000 words or so and am going to put them into separate reviews. Hopefully you enjoy the review, please take the time to rate and comment (if you can be bothered with either ï ... more

    5 Stars NEW YORK- LOVE IT OR LOATH IT? 23/01/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap shopping, culture, fun!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be stressful!

    INTRODUCTION I always thought of New York as one of those places everyone should visit once. So when I was offered the chance of a week’s free accommodation in Brooklyn, I took the opportunity for my one off visit. I was fairly certain I wouldn’t like the place enough to ever want to go there again. I don’t like cities. And from what I had heard, New York epitomised everything I hate about cities. Noisy, stressful, tacky and very, very large. But I booked my flights, packed my bags and decided to make the most of it. And much as I hate to admit it, New York proved me wrong. I loved it. I think ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Beautiful City Thriving With Life

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None That Is Really Important You Could Love It Too Much

    Have you ever had that feeling when you know you only been in one place for a few days or a week but it feels like you’ve been there for a lifetime? That’s the feeling I got when I had to leave New York, because I had done so much in the space of a week that it felt like I had been there for months and I still didn’t visit all the most popular landmarks the 1st time I went. As you can see my alias is AshNYC so I thought I should write a review on New York. We all know New York from comics like Spider-Man and Television programmes like Friends but I want to put across the real New York the New ... more

    Advantages Advantages Great places to See!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Run out of time!

    Well most of you already know I spent the New Year in New York, so I thought it might be nice to share my experiences with you all, so here is my guide to the Big Apple. It’s a very tall city, much taller than I imagined it to be, as many of you will no doubt be aware it has been the setting for many films and a few Drama’s also including Friend’s, Will and Grace, Sex In The City, I was hoping to see one or two famous faces in and around New York but I’m afraid no such luck, but I did see some amazing sites which I’ll share with you to the best of my ability, now ... more
