Surprising Things About New York

July 30, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

New York is a dream travel destination for a lot of people. However, it is also a destination whereby we feel like we know exactly what to expect. After all, it is one of the most famous places in the world. We have all seen the pictures and heard about the amazing tourist attractions there. So, what else could we possibly discover about this city? A lot, actually! In fact, there are lots of surprising things about NYC, as you will find out below.

 

You can go surfing in the city – Yes, you can go surfing in New York, believe it or not. There are actually two surfing beaches in New York – Long Beach and Rockaway Beach. They are only a short ride away from the heart of the city in Brooklyn and Queens.

 

It is home to the first ever U.S. hospital – Another amazing fact about New York is that it housed the first ever hospital in the United States of America. This hospital dates back to 1902, and it actually once acted as a detention facility for immigrants arriving on the island who were deemed too physically unfit or ill to enter the country.

 

It is also home to the first underground park in the world – New York is clearly a place of firsts. It also houses the first ever underground park. It’s not completed yet, though. You’re going to have to wait to visit New York until 2021 to see it in all of its splendour.

 

It has wildlife – Wildlife is one thing that most people do not associate with NYC. However, it certainly has it. There are thousands of animal species to be found in the numerous city parks. There are hundreds of bird species, as well as snapping turtles, cotton-tailed rabbits, and white-tailed dears.

 

There is no ‘I’ in Broadway – We’re not referring to the spelling. After all, that is pretty obvious! There is no row ‘I’ when it comes to the seating plans at the theatres. Instead, the rows go from A to H and then J to Z. This is because people were booking tickets and expecting to be in row one, mistaking the I for the number 1, and then they were disappointed to discover they were, in fact, nine rows back. Whether you are going to see Kinky Boots, The Lion King, or any other Broadway show, it’s advisable to book in advance, prior to your trip, if you want to bag one of those front row seats.

 

As you can see, there is a lot more to New York than meets the eye. After all, you probably didn’t expect that NYC would be a place for surfing or that it would have wildlife. In fact, New York is a place with a lot of surprises, and this is one of many reasons why it has become one of the most loved cities in the world.

Hi Friends!
I'm Fern and I have a love for travel, beauty, health and flowers! I went to school for nutrition, but wasn't really interested in being a nutritionist. So, I started to bartend and have since I graduated school a year ago.
I love talking to people, traveling and writing on my blog... and bartending allows me to do the things I love.

I can take off for a month to travel abroad and there will never be any shortage of bartending/serving jobs when I get home. I also love that I can work abroad bartending anywhere I want! So, I hope you enjoy my blog and if you have any questions, feel free to email me! :)
