On Saturday I will be taking an Amtrak train to New York City to attend a gathering for Vloggerheads<\/a>, the Ning site for vloggers. We will be having lunch at Hill Country Restaurant<\/a>. I recently read a tourist guide book on New York City, National Geographic Traveler: New York, 3rd Edition<\/strong> by Michael S. Durham.<\/p>\n

New York City is one of the world’s major cities that I would like to explore more thoroughly. I’ve already been to Paris and Philadelphia. I’m planning to visit Berlin, Venice, Montreal, and maybe London some day. I have been to New York City at least 6 times. I went to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center for IT trade shows which was always exciting. It really made my profession seem glamorous. And I have taken local bus trips for a day in New York City to see the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art twice. Now that I’ve read a guide book I have a long list of other landmarks to see in New York City. I’ve even started a custom help file with maps and photos of major buildings, theaters, museums, and stores in the Big Apple. The Google Earth application is a great tool for exploring the New York City neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

New York City holds a special place in my imagination because it has been the setting of so many movies and television shows. When I was growing up, I remember watching shows like Barney Miller<\/em>, Welcome Back Kotter<\/em>, Fame<\/em>, and The Odd Couple<\/em> which showed the gritty aspects of the city. Various books and films like The Taking of Pelham 123<\/em> have also added to its aura. I get the impression that New York City is the number one destination for Europeans who dream of visiting the United States because they’ve seen so many films about the city.<\/p>\n

I am going to try to visit New York City more often. I’ll see how well this Amtrak train trip goes. But I think it would be cheaper and easier to take a one day bus trip to New York City. Several local organizations sponsor such bus trips and I think Susquehanna Trailways schedules regular trips.<\/p>\n

There may not be much time for sightseeing on this trip because I will be meeting bloggers and vloggers who are active in the online video community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
