My first encounter with New York didn't go well. We had a mutual dislike. Naturally, I arrived this time with a bias and didn't expect to feel any warmth at all. But everything turned out better than I imagined. I wasn't filled with anger or disgust; I went because I had to, and just to tick a few boxes. But the most valuable thing was hearing: "Yes, I like Chicago better." New York is a city with too good of a PR campaign, behind which there isn't anything truly worthwhile. It's dirty, noisy, and crowded. The Statue of Liberty isn't that majestic, Central Park isn't that magical, Rockefeller Center isn't that luxurious, and Grand Central Terminal isn't that big, though it is impressive. We visited almost all the iconic spots from our favorite movies and TV shows. And in all this chaos, I found a place that captured my heart - the Empire State Building. I admired every little detail: from the doormen to the museum. Stylish, original, interactive, rich! Delight enveloped me on every floor. Standing on the observation deck, I was waiting for someone to propose to me. The atmosphere of magic and romance hangs in the air here. The view is so mesmerizing that it takes your breath away. Almost everyone wants to get here. But only a small fraction of them will truly connect with this atmosphere, lifestyle, and the spirit of the streets. It is a cruel and ruthless world where people are ready to sell their souls for fame and success. You can hit the jackpot of your life or fall to the very bottom. You can love or hate New York, curse it or worship it. But one thing is for sure: no one will remain indifferent.

After a month, it was time for my first travels. My most desired city was NYC. That was exactly where I dreamed of celebrating my birthday. Round-trip bus tickets from Peter Pan cost $140. New York made an incredible impression on me. It is a city that charms you from the very first minutes. It mesmerizes with the scale of its buildings and structures, amazes with its frantic rhythm, the incredible flow of people, and the contrast expressed in the combination of luxury life with marginalized people sleeping on the streets and piles of trash. New York is a real concrete jungle. Central Park is probably one of the few places with greenery and trees. Overall, I was delighted with the city.

If you have read my blog to the end, then thank you. And here is a little bonus for you. A post about cinematic nostalgia. The traditional viewing of the Christmas double feature "Home Alone" brought back many nostalgic thoughts about the places I managed to visit while in the USA. Yes, I wasn't in big cities for that long. In the aforementioned New York, I spent a total of about 5 days. No more. But that was enough for me to visit some of the places that once became part of big shoots, directors' shouts, and the general hustle and bustle of the entire team of makeup artists, set decorators, camera operators, and, of course, actors. It evokes some interesting feelings. The places you watch while sitting in a cinema or at home in front of the TV turn out to be just meters away from you. It is worth noting that I did not set out to visit such locations. It just happened by accident. I only found out about some of them today while researching the topic online. Camera. Action? 1. Since we're on a roll, we should, of course, start with "Home Alone 2", the filming of which, as you know, took place almost entirely in New York. True, at the time of filming, the author of these lines wasn't even in the project, let alone in New York, but, to be honest, the film still evokes nostalgia. Mentioning this picture, a first-class hotel where Culkin's character lived immediately comes to mind. Of course, I couldn't let myself pass by the famous The Plaza, but I didn't go inside. I don't think I would have been welcome there. By the way, speaking of time and the difference, at the end of the film, Kevin was presented with a bill for $967.43 for all his luxury services, and at the moment, according to rumors, just one night in a room starts from $2000-2200. An equally important part of the film was Central Park, which "swallowed" the poor lonely hero in the middle of the night, but also led to a new friend. I was lucky that, without even walking half the park, I ended up in exactly those places. These places have united many films at different times. From the more childish Stuart Little to... yes, yes, I have no doubt that most of the girls (young ladies, ladies) have now recognized these places thanks to the next frame. In addition to the above, you can follow in the footsteps of the film "Home Alone 2" (and a dozen others) by arriving at the main square of the city - Times Square. In the picture, let me remind you, the main character's mother rushes past the souvenir shops of the square and asks passersby if they have seen a little boy. For comparison, I will just show Times Square in '92 and '14. For those going to New York, I can also mention Rockefeller Center, which I, in my stupidity, did not visit. This is the one with the "biggest Christmas tree in the city". 2. Since I started talking about Central Park, I will add one more place that I want to note. This is a huge orchestral shell, which is personally known to me from a shot in the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's", but this is not the only film that was shot there. So everyone will have their own associations. In general, having googled it, I realized that it was created for various kinds of performances by groups or orchestras, but such a structure is now used more for photo shoots or, as you can see, for cinema. Although some street musicians still perform here, hoping for sound amplification. For example, #cityofthesun, whose performance I caught and it impressed me immensely. Listen for interest's sake. By the way, speaking of "Breakfast at Tiffany's", I also managed to get to the famous store, but for some reason, I can't find the photo among tons of my shots. Although I stood in the very place where one of my favorite women in the world stood. Lovely. Of the places I didn't get to in Central Park, I can mention: the zoo where the animals from "Madagascar" lived, as well as the famous fountain where the opening credits of the series "Friends" were filmed. There are dozens of such pl

September 15, 2010 (8:00 PM) Right now at JFK airport in New York. Just arrived by bus from Port Authority. I spent two days in New York – it was just unreal. I still can't believe it happened. Everything is so beautiful, truly. But I'm exhausted – I had to nap for a night at a McDonald's in Times Square. I arrived in New York yesterday morning, dropped my bag at the luggage storage, and went to explore the city. I was everywhere I could be – Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building, Wall Street, 5th Avenue, Broadway, the Hudson waterfront, Rockefeller Center… a bunch of other places too, everything is cool. Such a cool city, I'm a fan of urban vibes, high-rises, skyscrapers – they're my weakness – I just love them. Of course, I will never forget New York, and I even have a dream to come back here someday. I'm at the airport now – in 3 hours I'll be on the plane. I'm going to take one last breath of that 'special' American air and head to check-in. Will I miss it? I will. Thank you, America. Wait for me, I will definitely be back.
