On the first day, we went to the Empire State Building. We went to the observation deck(观景台). The Empire State Building was the tallest building in the world for many years. On the ovservation deck, we saw the State of Liberty Bridge, Times Square, and many other things.
The New York Public Library is a place that you must visit as a traveler. It sits next to Central Park. The park itself is full of beautiful plants in the center of Manhattan. After enjoying the sights in the park, we went to Linclon Center, St Patrick’s Cathedral and several famous museums. Later we went to Broadway and Times Squre.
Night in New York is very pleasing, too. New Yorkers love to meet after work, and do so in pubs(酒吧), restaurants, and the city’s nightclubs. We come to a famous pub called McSorley’s, which is the oldest “public house” in America. It has been open since 1854. They serve only one drink. A favorite non-alcoholic(不含酒精)drink is the “egg cream”. It actually has neither eggs nor cream in it, but is made with milk, chocolate, and seltzer water(苏打水). It is delicious.
