The last article concluded the second to last day of my trip. In this article we will conclude our last day and and our whole trip! The whole trip was just amazing.
I will also be talking about some other places that I would want to go to, so lets get right on to it. My day had started off by playing on my Ipad, and playing NBA
Live Mobile on my Ipad. We had to then check out of our hotel at 12:00 PM. My dad had gotten mad that he took a later flight, because when we reached, it would be
10:30 PM, or at least that was the time that my dad thought that it would take. Since, we had nothing to do went just walking around Manhattan. Then, my sister saw Staples,
and she said she needed to go there, because of Odyssey of the mind. We went there and bought what she needed, and we bought some gum for the trip back to Orlando.
After that, we all went to eat lunch. My sister wanted to eat lunch at Starbucks, but I thought that you can only buy coffee at Starbucks, but it turned out that I
was wrong, and that you can pick a main meal, a snack, and water, and a fruit. My sister took a banana as her fruit, and I love bananas. They are my favourite out of
any type of fruit or vegetable. They are so sweet and taste so good. It is also good for anyone, because it has natural sweetness. Apart from my sister's lunch, we bought
lunch from a stall and the person who makes the Chicken Biriyani at the stall makes really good Chicken Biryani. He even adds in a salad and an egg with can soda. Its
a pretty good lunch, and i do not think hat the top Indian restaurant could top his amazing food. I didn't eat my salad, because my salad had only one thing that I liked
and that was lettuce. Lettuce doesn't have a taste, but I just like the crunchiness of lettuce. Also, it is good for you. That lunch was the best lunch that I've ever had.
We then walked our way to Battery park and there we saw a lot of companies selling items from their companies. We saw also a person that was going to draw a picture, and
my dad called that Kariketcher or something like that. He drew me very good. The drawing was of me playing soccer and you could see a lot of big buildings. We took the
picture and then we went to sit in Battery Park, and it was just relaxing there. After that, it was time to get back to our hotel, because the car would be waiting to lead
us to the airport. The time there felt like 10 seconds, but as they say "Time flies when you are having fun",and I did have a lot of fun on my trip to New York. We got into
the car, and after seeing the Brooklyn Bridge so many times, I was actually on it and it was cool to see it, but it was awesome to actually be on the real thing. On
our way to the airport I saw the Barclays Center, and that is the Brooklyn Nets' stadium. Thestadium was weird and it was like going up and down and up and down,
but it is hard to explain how it looked. We then got to the airport, and I saw a banana, and anybody knows what that means. What that means is that I was going to
buy one and eat one, and that was exactly what I had done. The banana was bigger than normal bananas, and sweeter and better. The day was great and the trip was the
best trip ever!

In New York on day 5 which was a Friday. I went to the World Trade Centre. We went to the 102nd floor, but we had to come back down to 100th floor, to see the
awesome view from the building. Lets fast forward to the next day. The next day, we went to the NBA Store which is on 5th avenue. The storre wasn't as big as I had
expected it to be. I bought a LeBron James shirts, and a Cavaliers cap, because I like James and the Cavs. It was pretty fun there, and we were going to buy something
for my friend, because of his birthday that was a few days ago. He said that he did not want anything, because he liked the Orlando Magic the most. Their was only one
hat of the Orlando Magic, and he did not like that one, so we did not get anything for him. After we ordered our stuff from the shop, we went to eat lunch. I do not
know why, but my dad was looking for buffet resturants only. The buffet had some good choices, but all I took was some naan and Chicken Tikka Masala. The chicken was
very good, but I didn't eat much of it, because I didn't want to eat too much. I had also gotten some chilli chicken, but this time it was spicier. I really liked that
resturant, and after eating, we went to the Museum of Natural History. I didn't want to go, but my dad told me to go. We got there, and since my dad was going to have
dinner with someone at work, he needed to come back fast, but my sister wanted to stay, so my dad's friend brought us to the hotel. A crazy thing happened, and that was
that it took us 2 hours to get there. Usually, it only takes like 30 minutes to just go back, but it took us 4 * the time it actually takes us. It took that long, because
we had to go up to the 125th street, because in the museum's station, it doesn't go downtown. The closest station that goes downtown is the 125th street station. The lady
who told us was screaming really loud. So, we got to the 125th street station, and then we took a downtown C train that was supposed to come to our hotel, but it just
wandered off to some other stations, and that would've led us to Jamaica, New York. It was a good thing that we stopped at that station, because there was no downtown
trains until you were in Jamaica. Then, we took a train that went on its correct path on the map. It lead us to City Hall, but it wouldn't go to the stop that we needed.
We had to walk from City Hall to our hotel. It was really nice that our hotel was a 9 minute walk from there. So, we walked home, but I couldn't go play with my friend
at the hotel, because he said that my dad might call my dad's friend. So, I was in his room for 5 minutes. About 5 minutes after I reached the htel, my dad reached. I
don't know how they came so fast, but they did somehow. Anyways, I went to the room by myself, and my dad was really tired and he started to sleep. I didn't know what ti
do, so I started playing NBA Live Mobile. My sister had to leave, because she and her friend were going to a broadway show, but it was at eight and the thing with broad-
way shows is that they are 3 hours long. So, she had to go and come back as well and to go it would take 30 mins and it would take 3 hours which comes to a total of 3
hours 30 mins!

Day 4 can also be classified as amazing, so lets talk about it. We left off talking about me going to Times Square, so lets continue. At Times Square, we all
were just walking and then we saw a m and m place, so we went there. It was a pretty cool place, and their was a lot of things to do with M and ms. We were going to
have dinner at a place, but one chicken plate was 30$, and their wasn't even that much chicken on each plate. So, we went to Ruchi's and I had ordered Chili Chicken.
Chili Chicken is supposed to be spicy, but it is really sweet. Well, that summarized that day, but the next day was cool. We hadn't done anything for the whole day,
until my dad came. When my dad came, he asked us if we wanted to go to the NYU or the World Trade Center, but we didn't go to NYU that day, because we spent a lot of
time at the World Trade Centre. We were taking a lot of pictures there as well. Due to that reason, we reached home at 9:30 PM. My dad then called up his friend, and
asked what he had ate for dinner. My dad's friend had said that he ate Pizza for dinner, and he ate it at some place. My dad then asked for the adress, because my sister
wanted to eat pizza. My dad ordered a large pizza, sice we always get large at Pizza Hut, but this resturant's large was worth like 2 large Pizza Hut pizzas. So, if
you eat two of the resturant's large pizzas, then you are basically eating 4 large pizzas. the pizzas seemed like extra extra large. We also ate the pizza with a side
of chicken wings, but the chicken wings tasted really salty. So, now I am seeing salty and sweet chicken. That is weird. They put like 10 packets of salt on each one.
Wh would want that much salt on one chicken wings. The food also came with a 1 gallon bottle of pepsi. The food was weird but tasty enough to my liking. I would rate
it 4 and a half stars. That summarizes the day which was day 4 and day 4 was Thursday. Now, onto day 5. Day 5 was a lot better. We didn't go anywhere that day until
my dad came home. We met up with my dad's friend and his family. which also consists my friend. Anyway, we took a subway to NYU, and the University was different than
other universities. The reason it was different from other universities, was because it had parts scattered all over the city. There would be parts in the middle and
then one at the tip of the city. We didn't go inside the university, because we had to take a tour, and the tours were 3 hours long, and we were going to Lexington.
We did nothing in Lexington except to go to a vegetarian resturant with great food. The food was really good in my opinion, but I like any type of food. I will literally
eat anything. I had ordered Dosa, because that is one of my favourite dishes, not one of my favourite Indian dish, but it is so good that it is one of my favourite
dishes out of any country's food. Indian food is really good, though. Literally, every single Indian food I eat is the best food I've ever ate. In Times Square, 5th
Avenue, I was going to go to the NBA store. We couldn't go there cause it closes at 8:00 PM each day, and on Saturday's it closes at 9:00 PM each day, and Sunday, it
closes at, 7:00 PM.

Day 2 in NYC was great, so lets talk about it. We all didn't go to China Town, because me and my friend wanted to come to my hotel room to play. We played a
game called NBA Live Mobile. That game is a really good game. The game is a basketball game and in the game, you can earn coins. The way you can earn coins is by playing
season games, and for each game, you get 1200 coins! Season 1 is the easiest season, and then you can work your way up. I am on season 6 right now. If the person that
is playing games can win 10 finals, get 1 million fans, and do a buch of other achievements, then they can get the 95 Russel Westbrook. The 95 Russel Westbrook is the
highest rated player in the whole entire game. The game came out 2 months ago. Another thing about the game is that you can buy players with your coins. Other people
will put auctions up on the aucton house, and their will be a price for a buy now and to bid on it. The buy now price is always going to be much bigger than the starting
price. Back to New York City. My dad had came home a 9:40 PM that 2nd day! So, that was the second day, but we didn't do much that day. Now, the 3rd day. The day started
off as my sister's friend had asked my sister to come outside to go around places. My friend didn't even tell me that it was his birthday, and then he told me later. We
had gone to lunch early for a special surprise. We all ate at a stall, and the food was good. I got a Chicken Gyro. It is basically a sandwhich with chicken inside it.
It was nice as well. After we ate our lunches, we went to a place with boats. We went there, because we went on a ship to Liberty Island. That island is where the
Statue of Liberty is. We actually went on the Statue of Liberty, but there was a terrible thing about this. We had to take like a 5000 steps! It is really high. From
there we saw New York City, and the tallest building was the World Trade Centre, and I think anybody could figure out that it is the tallest building in New York. Then,
we all headed to our hotels. I was waiting for my dad, but then he called my sister and then he said that he was going to have dinner with someone at work. So, he asked
his dad's friend if he could bring us to dinner, and he did. We all ate at Olive Garden, except my mom. My mom ate at an Indian resturant called Indi Kitch. I had
ordered an appetizer for diiner, but it was pretty big. I had ordered a bunch of chicken and some spicy sauce. That was my dinner. Next, came a bunch of people who work
for the resturant, and they singed Happy Birthday to my friend and brought him a cake. He then whispered to me that he knew that they were going to do that, because he
had overheard his mom speaking to the Olive Garden restaurant. The next day is the 4th day which was Wednesday. Nothing much happened on Wednesday, but we did get Iced
Cofee, and it had honey at the bottom. It tasted better than Starbucks! It was from a stall, and it tasted better than Starbucks. In addition, we all had gone to Little
Italy and there wasn't much to see there, but I liked it. Little Italy was really close to China Town, but we didn't go there. That basically summarizes the day. The next
day, which was Thursday, we all went to Time Square! It was really cool there. To be continued.

New York City is one of the coolest places to ever go! Their are lots of reasons why NYC is one of the coolest places to ever go, such as the
fact that NYC is the Financial Capital of the world! How cool is that. Me and my family had gone there and this id about day 1 of the trip to NYC. There
are lots of big buildings in NYC, and I saw a lot of them. On my first day, I had to wait until 3:00 P.M! I had came at 2, so it was only an hour, until
we could go to the hotel. My family had ate lunch at a stall, and it was owned by some Bangladeshi men. My dad had also started talking in Bengali with them,
because we are Bengali, but we are from India. I had picked the Chicken Biriyani, and so did everybody in my family, except my mom. She had picked the Vegetable
Biryani, because she is vegetarian. We all ate our food, and we all got a can of soda. The meal also had a half egg inside it, and their was a salad on the left
consisting lettuce tomatoes, and other healthy foods. The hotel's name is Millennium Hilton, and was a pretty nice hotel. After everybody got settled into the hotel,
me and my dad went roamed around the city, and we had even seen the CITI Bank headquarters! It was really amazing and we took a lot of pictures. Then, we went to a
store called Duane Reade. That store is actually owned by Walgreen. We went there to buy water, and then I saw some spicy Jalapeño chips, and bought them as well.
The store didn't have any groceries, although I saw a Duane Reade store with groceries and everything. After all that, we all rested in the hotel. In addition, we
had gone to a place named Battery Park. We had gone there with one of my dad's friend. If that wasn't enough, we had then taken a cruise to Staten Island, and back
to NYC. One surprising thing was that it was free! That cruise was really nice, and we all got to look at the Statue of Liberty a little bit closer. We had taken
the Subway back to our hotel, and each pass was $32. The only reason why we had taken the Subway, was because I wanted to watch a basketball game. That basketball
game was Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The game was great, because Cleveland won and I like Cleveland. My friend had come up to our room to watch the game with us. My
dad's friend had also come up to our room, and they were trying to find out an Indian restaurant to eat in. We finally decided on a place named Ruchi's. It wasn't
that bad, but it wasn't that great. My dad had gone to Duane Reade again to get some more water, as our water which we had bought earlier was empty. My friend then
left my room and went back up to his room. Their room was on the 9th floor, but ours was on the 32nd floor! There was also a gym in the hotel. One thing that we
noticed about that Indian restaurant, was that it had a very sweet taste to everything, which I didn't like, but everything else was good about the food. Now, I
will transition into day 2 of the trip. Since my dad had gone to work, my mom and my friend's mom had to lead us to places. We went to the Macy's headquarters that
day, but I didn't like it. Thee reason I didn't like it was because the only interesting thing there was a Fit-bit. One other thing about Macy's was that a small
purse was $100! That is so expensive for a purse that was so big. To be Continued.
