So far, most of our trips have been with both our families. But this time was special — our first-ever trip with just the two of us. When my sister first suggested the idea, I was a bit hesitant. Still, the thought of spending quality time together was exciting. And finally, we made it happen!
On my way to New York, I immersed myself in its fascinating history — how the city got its name, the challenges it faced, and how it always managed to bounce back stronger. I love learning about the places I visit — their past, their stories, and what makes them unique. New York, without a doubt, stands out with its towering skyscrapers, magnificent architecture, and the unstoppable rhythm of its people.
Our first stop was the iconic Brooklyn Bridge, stretching gracefully over the East River. Despite the Sunday crowds, we managed to walk across the world’s first suspension bridge and capture some beautiful memories.
After treating ourselves to a desi-style coffee, we headed to The Edge — one of the city’s most breathtaking observation decks. Before ascending, we experienced an engaging multimedia presentation that built up the excitement. Soon, we were soaring more than 1,100 feet above the city! Standing on the glass floor, looking straight down 100 stories to the streets below, was both thrilling and surreal.
Next, we indulged in a slice of New York’s famous apple pie before heading to the Vessel — a striking, honeycomb-like structure that offers incredible views of the Hudson River and the surrounding skyline. After being closed for a while due to safety reasons, it has recently reopened to the public, and it’s definitely worth the visit.
As night fell, it was time for dinner — delicious Gyros, a Greek-style Mediterranean street food. Afterward, we wandered through the bustling streets, soaking in the dazzling night skyline of New York City — a perfect ending to a day full of adventure, and sisterly bonding.
