New York Webquest

Hi Fau Bloggers:

Today I'd like you to do a web-quest on New York, and at the same time discovery some interesting things about this iconic city.  I've been to New York twice. The first time for just 8 hours, and the second time 8 days. Both times I met up with a childhood friend, Martin, who lived in the city for about 20 years. Martin and I played in a band together when we were younger. 

He's a really amazing drummer. He actually played for a number of underground punk or post-punk bands in New York and became a well know figure on the underground scene there (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXyv-Ww5hg8). 

Anyway, the week I spent in New York was amazing in so many ways. One really cool thing is that every corner you walk around, you encounter a scene from a Hollywood movie. 

Of all the things I did in NYC, I think my favourite would be a tie between taking a 2 hour boat ride around Manhattan Island, and walking over Brooklyn Bridge.

Anyway, please complete the web-quest and post your answers. 

Then write a short post (50 - 100 words):
