The happiest and the saddest place in New York

The happiest place? well the first thing that comes to mind when I think the happiest place is Times Square. I think it is the happiest place for me because that is the main attraction of New York City. No matter what the time is that place will be live and it is always fun going there. On Christmas there is also a Christmas tree there and that whole area just looks amazing. I always have fun and just enjoy my time while I am there and it makes me happy. Than there are all the stores to shop at. It is just an amazing place and it always makes me happy when I go there.

The saddest place in New York for me would be the walking place near sears bay in Brooklyn. It is a walking place right next to the ocean and I think it is sad because that is a place where somebody will go to when they are sad or stressed about something. I use to work around there and would go there when I was stressed or any kind of tension in my mind.

One of the happiest place I’ve seen in NYC is Times Square. Everyone is smiling, laughing and enjoying their time at Times Square. You will see people taking pictures of themselves, of the beautiful view etc. Whenever I go there I also enjoy a lot. It is also a great place for tourist to come and observe the beauty of NYC. There are many stores from which people can spend their time shopping. Madame Tussauds is also located in Times Square which is an awesome place to visit and see the amazing wax figures of celebrities and famous people all around the world. I would recommend people to go there at night because it looks even more beautiful at night with all the lighting of the stores. Also on New Year, there is a ball drop at which thousands of people go and see.

The saddest place in NYC would be Briarwood, Queens. I go there most of the times and every street is very quiet. Many people walking around don’t seem that happy. I never heard noise in the streets of Briarwood.

One of the most exciting and the happiest place in New York is 5th Av in Manhattan. I picked up this place because I work on 5th Av & 46th St where every weekend I have a delightful experience. This place gives people a vast majority of things. It is one of the world’s most expensive streets, especially the area between 49th and 59th street where some of the most prestigious stores can be found. Stores such as: Gucci, Chanel, Ferragamo, Coach, Luis Vuitton, Fendi, Armani. It is also a prime route for annual ethnic parades, and the famous St. Patrick’s Day Parade. I saw some bollywood actors and even the famous comedian Russel Peters. I also get the opportunity to meet tourists from all over the world. Just having a conversation with them for few minutes makes me feel like I am so blessed that I got the chance to work at such a great place.

The saddest place I find out is ‘The Rocks’ near Bayside, Queens. It is a very quite place I often go there when I am stressed or I have some sort of tension in my head. There is lake where no one ever goes. If you are looking for a peaceful environment around yourself I think this is the best place to go.

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.

New York City is a huge city, I’ve been to majority of Manhattan and Brooklyn. The happiest place in New York City that I could think of is Caesars Bay in Bensonhurst. Ever since I moved to Brooklyn in the First Grade, I would go to Caesars Bay to relax and spend time with my family. I would always ride my bike down the promenade all the to the end where you could see the Verrazano Bridge. I would do this ever weekend with my cousins. There was also a lot of shopping done in Caesars Bay, it consisted of a Best Buys, Kohl’s, Toys R Us, Baby R Us, Etc… At the end of everyday I would stop by the Wendy’s located in Caesars for lunch because at the time I had an insatiable hunger for Wendy’s.
The Saddest place in New York City would be the area around New Utrecht High school because there have been stabbings of innocent people. Its quite dangerous to step foot outside during the night as there have been muggings that have occurred over the years that I’ve moved here.

One of the happiest places in NYC is the park that is near my house in 85th Street. The park is really big but theres one special place that has a lagoon  and a big rock that you can sit on. its really beautiful to go there to have picnics or just to sit there with friends to have a good time. When i go to that place it brings me to a great mood because its a really nice view. Theres even ducks swimming all over  the lagoon. My saddest place in NYC  would be right by Queens Blvd because there was an accident there recently of a motorcyclist that crashed with a car and while i was passing by with my family in our car i saw the guy from the motorcycle laying down on the floor with blood all over his body it was really scary seeing him there laying down but i thought he was going to be okay but when we came back we heard he died there in that same place i saw him laying down. since that day that became the saddest place in NYC for me.

New York city has a lot of places where you can go and be happy. Some places are restaurants, parks, movie theaters and etc. The happiest place for myself is my home because i can always come home and relax and relieve my stress. Like if something is bothering me or I’m having trouble with something I can talk to my parents brothers or call my girlfriend. They are always there for me when I need them and they always make me feel better.

The saddest place I’ve been to was 112th street on myrtle avenue. In may of 2013 I got into a terrible accident at that location. I was driving home from Kew Gardens with my brother and my girlfriend and when we was driving by 112 on myrtle we had the green light and a lady decided to run the light that caused her to hit us on the passenger side and pushed us into the traffic pole. That caused the whole front of my car to be wrecked. Everybody  was taken to the hospital to be checked out and we were fine we had no serious injurious. Thank God I had two witnesses that saw everything because she told the cops that she had the green light and I ran the light and she tried to stop but she couldn’t. The witnesses told the cops that I had the green light and she ran the red light.Every time now when I drive by that location all I remember was what happened and I get terrified.

The happiest place in New York is downtown Manhattan on 42nd street. Ever since I was little kid whenever I was on 42nd street I always found something new to explore. Whether if it was just going to meet my visiting family members at Port Authority bus station or shopping for sports gear at Modell’s with my friends it was always a great experience and good memories. Even now i still go there to go to one of my favorite burger spots Five Guys because I LOVE me a burger. Afterwards I would go to the movie theater across the street and maybe the ice cream shop next door to Five Guys. I have yet to have a bad a experience in the downtown Manhattan area. All I know it is the area never seems to fail my expectations.

Happiest Place by City Tech is..

The City College of Technology has some interesting areas around it. There is Dumbo to the north, Fort Greene to the east, Brooklyn Heights to the west and more notable areas to the south. But which area is the happiest? I’ve been around Brooklyn a few times and from what I experienced, the happiest area around NYCCT is the Brooklyn Heights Promonade. I remember, about a week ago, my class went on a trip to the Brooklyn Historical Society and we took a tour through the BHP. It was a long pathway with the view of Downtown Manhattan and the water front! It was a spectacular landscape and it just made me fill so blissful. I think that for someone who spends most of their time on the streets or the in the city or somewhere enclosed, can get a great sense of nature by just standing next to the BHP. The sound of the ocean breeze blows away the concerns that the city gives you. Also, I don’t remember anyone frowning as they looked across the water front and stared at view of Downtown Manhattan. But, I do feel the weather could have factored in as well. It was a bright sunny day and it wasn’t that cold. The landscape would have a drastically different mood if it was gray and raining. But then again, grey clouds and rain never make anyone happy. I would not be surprised if I find myself here again. It is a perfect spot for a date that is if the weather allows it to be.
