Inspired by Of Literature and Locations over at the Perpetual Page-Turner, Book Voyage combines my want to travel and my love of books. Join me as I venture around the world!
With the unveiling of a snazzy new feature today, I will be showcasing an equally snazzy (perhaps even more) city that I have seen quite a bit of in books I've read in the past. I'm talking about New York City, guys.
There's something inexplicably magical about the city that never sleeps and well, I think it's best to let Jay-Z take this one:
In New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made, oh
There's nothing you can't do, now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new
Big lights will inspire you, let's hear it for New York
New York, New York
I honestly don't think I could have said it better. But back to the magic - that is the reason behind why I've always wanted to visit New York City. I've always wanted to feel that magic myself. And while that's going to be a looonnng time from now - at least until I finish high school which is in four years! - I'm thankful I, at the very least, still have books and the Internet.
3 Things I Have To Do While In New York City:
1. Visit Times Square at night. I mean, this place is iconic! And what could be better than witnessing it at night?
2. See a show on Broadway. I'm not a giant theatre nerd but Broadway is a must.
3. Visit FAO Schwarz. Because everyone knows that some days, you just have to let your inner kid roll.
