Plese Help Part 1 Misconception of New York There are many world-renowned cities within the United States; Los Angeles, Miami, and Orlando to name a few. Each of these cities is well known for something; whether it is beaches, shopping, or amusement parks. Now many of these cities have much more to offer then what they are just well known for, but there is one place in particular in the United States that many people have a misconception about. This place that I mention is none other than New York. New York City is world renowned for being the city that never sleeps, because of its non-stop taxis, and 24 hour businesses. It is also known for its architecture, Wall Street, and of course pizza. New York city is also known for its large multicultural influence. These are fine things to be known for, but on the other hand New York State, or better known as upstate New York offers the complete opposite. Soon after you exit Westchester County, and enter Albany County you are now considered in Upstate New York. You might second-guess yourself that you are in a different state, because of how much the environments vary from each other, but the heavy New York accents will reassure you that you are still in New York. Where it be summer, or winter upstate New York always has outdoor activities to engage in. New York City winters are known to be long, and brutal, because of all the snow it receives. Upstate New York is higher in altitude, and located mostly in the mountains; which makes it weather much more severe than the cities weather. The weather upstate not only receives an abundance of snow, but also is well known for their black ice. Black ice a very slick layer of ice formed on roads. When blizzards are not happening, the crisp cold weather is very delightful. Many mountains have been designed to accommodate winter sports as in snowboarding, skiing, and sledding. During the winter these parks are flooded with natives, and foreigners from all over the world. The foreigners come not only to participate in winter sports, but to also experience New York’s winters first hand.
