Yup. They really are.

More trash around Wall Street
Trash pile at Central Park (sorry the photo is kind of blurry!)
Trash near the United Nations Millennium Hotel
I guess residents just put their trash out on the sidewalks when they take it out. I noticed the piles of trash in the afternoons and evenings.
But this isn’t something I expected to see in NYC. It’s not shown in TV shows or movies.
I got to spend several days in some states on the east coast this summer, but I was most excited about spending time in The Big Apple because it’s a place I’ve always wanted to visit.
Going around different cities got tiring at points, but it was fun and a good learning experience. I especially liked that I got to see what New York actually looked like – which is way different from what the media portrays on the big screen.
My next entries will be devoted to the following cities:
– Cleveland
– New York
– Philadelphia
– Washington DC
– Niagara Falls
– Boston/Cambridge
Stay tuned 🙂
