I believe that the happiest place in NYC is Time Square. This may be a very cliche choice because when people mention NYC, the first thing that comes to mind if the beautiful Time Square of New York City. I truly believe it is the happiest place in NYC. I have nothing but happy memories from Time Square. Time Square is where people go to have a good time, there are tons of events to do and in the night time, it shows us where NYC’s nickname “City That Never Sleeps” derived from. Even through the AM of the day, there is still so much to do. The lights from the skyscrapers are still shining and the amount of people out in Time Square is still enormous. Time Square is always going to be my first choice for the happiest in NYC.
The saddest place in NYC is Marlboro housings of Brooklyn. These housings are pretty much considered the projects. The crime rate in this area is unbelievable. I know this because my friend is currently living in Marlboro housing and it is not an ideal place to live if given more choices. It isn’t sad because it is a bad place to live in but because no one seems to care there. People do not care for the area they live in. No one seems to make an effort to make the neighborhood a better place. I am not looking to offend anyone with my choice of Marlboro housing but it is just my personal opinion.
Do you know how Times Square got its name? Would you find out and share it with the class? It’s how you’ll remember that it’s not Time but Times Square!
It’s interesting to think about how the term depressed gets used, as in depressed property or depressed real estate. How does that overlap with your view on what makes the Marlboro housing projects the saddest place in New York?
