It's cold, colder than I ever thought it be.
In-spite-of the unfavorable weather, there is so much to do here, the city actually never sleeps. There are so many tourists all around in Manhattan all throughout the day and night - Times Square being the busiest place of all.
New York has amazing mode of transportation. Though people like to walk when in New York, there is a good network of Subways and buses which run 24*7. You need to learn a bit before you can comfortably travel - believe me, a few trips in the opposite direction teaches all ;)
Before coming here, I was scared but I kind of like the people here. In my initial days here, whenever I was lost and was standing near a Subway gazing at my map trying to figure out whether I should be traveling Uptown/Downtown, towards Brooklyn/Bronx , someone would ask me if he could be of any help. Could it be any more convenient? Well, now I have stayed in Manhattan for 2 weeks and things have become opposite now - people ask me for trains and directions :)
There are magnificent pieces of architecture - you can see soaring tall buildings which would never end no matter how much you try to bend your neck. "Empire State Building" is the finest piece amongst them. "Madame Tussads" is the best exhibition of wax models I have seen so far. If you want to see all of the great things in the city and you are visiting in the month of January, pack yourself thick overcoats, boots, caps, gloves and everything else you have because it's freezing cold here.
