Beyond the stereotypes of filth and poverty, New York City shines as a guiding light for many opportunities, unique street art, and fulfilled dreams. Many overlook the true beauty of the city, failing to appreciate the experiences and opportunities waiting to be discovered. The city stands tall with beautiful architectural buildings surrounded by beautiful art and unique creations. On March 17, 2024, I visited the beautiful city and its most popular tourist destination to see how the astonishing sights draw in visitors. I explored the admirable St. Patrick’s Cathedral, surrounded by the crowded streets of Times Square, decorated with astonishing street art and building screens, a walk through the enchanting Central Park where bright colors light up the path, surrounded with laughter and the cheerful sound of ice cream trucks. Beyond all the huge buildings and beautiful streets, lies a beautiful city with countless possibilities.
