iwannagothere.com This is travel, not tourism

Adriii finaly got the time to do her long-time expected train-trip through the north-east coast of the United States… and she is telling us about her journey!

I can’t believe I’m done with the photobook. I hope you enjoyed the ride through the East Coast with me. To say good bye, I have a few more recommendations to do.

All I’ve told you about New York required lots of activities and movement… but, what about relaxing for a while? To do that, the best choice is to go to Connie Island, city’s beach. Maybe you can get a ride on the big wheel or lay down in the sand…

A few more shopping to do? Well, when it comes to electronics and entertainment, go to J&R , the best and cheapest place to buy cameras, mp3, Dvds… If you’re more into clothing shopping, then go to the fifth avenue and visit Abercrombie: clothes and pretty models (man and woman) selling them. You can even take a picture with them. It 2×1 And if you want something more casual and cool, don’t miss the Yellow Rat Bastard store at SoHo.

You’re feeling more cultural? Then don’t miss the Lincoln Center. You’ll probably find an event you like organized there and, if not, it’s worth just to visit the place. If you’re more into science, I loved the American Natural History Museum, their collections are great and you’ll have choices for all taste.

Movie and television fan? Then go the NBC, CBS and HBO stores. Also you can do the tours that NBC organizes. They take you to some places at the city where movies or shows where shot. Also, going to Toys ‘R Us is a good idea. They have a lot of movies related merchandising and, if you don’t find anything, at least you can take a look at the big realistic T-Rex in the store. They even have a big wheel inside!

But a personal favorite is the Bubba Gump Store. The restaurant it’s too fancy for me but the store has a lot of Forrest Gump merchandising and you can take a picture with “him”.

If you have the time, go to Harlem on a Sunday morning to attend a Gospel mass. It’s so interesting. If you don’t know where to go, I strongly recommend the Riverside Church. Beautiful building and emplacement there.

So, it’s time for me to say good-bye to the photobook and I didn’t find a best way to say it than tell you what I did on my last night. It happened to be my 25th birthday so we went to Brooklyn and I invited my friends to a delicious pizza at Grimaldi’s. Then we bought a cake and went to the Brooklyn Bridge park. At night, the views are astonishing. Then I blew my candles and we all said goodbye to the city.
