New Year's Eve in New York There are many events one can attend in this city. It's called
"First Night" and for $10 you get a button, which will give you
an access to various activities. First, we went to see a space show
at Rose Center for Earth & Space. They had this incredible space
show at the planetarium. The best I've ever seen. They give you
the perspective of where we are in this universe in 3-D. Then I
had dinner at a restaurant "City Grill".
Next
activity we went was Wollman Skate Link. Believe or not, I have
never skated in my life before. I was able to stand and sort of
slide but not by myself. Thanks to the snow fall of the day before
Central Park was just breathtakingly beautiful. It was not much
of skating but I really enjoyed it. I would like to go back there
again. Then we went to St. Bartholomew Church to listen to pipe
organ concert. I'm not Christian but I like the holy air that churches
tend to hold. They had many candles lit and the crowd seemed to
be in a good spirit. I don't know enough to talk about the actual
performance but it was good enough to me.
Finally, we went to Intrepid Museum to celebrate the New Year but
they closed the front door not let any more people come in. We were
planning to see fireworks by the Hudson River so we were very disappointed.
Besides, it wasn't very nice to them to shut the doors. Lots of
people were outside demanding them to open the door but we just
gave up and went back to my apartment. We counted down the last
moment of year 2000 and 20th century, while watching the Times Square
crowd on my TV.
