Croton Gorge Park is one of my favorite parks in New York. When someone says New York, we usually think of buildings, taxis, cars and fast food. But if you are like me and got little bored of New York City and want to enjoy water spring and little mountain you should definitely try Croton Gorge Park. The park offers a beautiful view of the dams and water spillway. I have seen some guys fishing, and picnicking. 

The park also have little mountains. If you like hiking you will definitely enjoy the park. I remember, seeing people even having their wedding photo session on the park, its that beautiful! I personally like the park  because its not too congested and a short gateway from busy New York. You can either go with your friends, girlfriends, or even family. The park is also right next to a river and it feels amazing to sit by the river during summer days. I don't know what's the fee for the park but when I went there on 2010 it was free. But as far as I know it wouldn't be more than $5.

The two ingredients that make the New York one of the fascinating cities in the world are speed and immigration. And what this has to do with food? Read on.  Here is the deal, the cheapest way to have food in New York is to go with the fast food. You can find any kind of fast food here, bagel, burger, hotdogs, kabob, gyro, pretzel and coffee. You name it they have it on the street! And the good news is they taste delicious.

You can walk down from one block to another block in Manhattan and your cultural choice for food will change since there are so many different immigrants live here. And one of the best things about food in New York is that they are not expensive at all. Well, obviously if you don't go to a fancy restaurants. You can pretty much complete an entire day's meal under $25. That's really cheap! I don't about you guys, but the Gyro's in New York City are the best. The Gyro guys also have a long line which obviously sums up why they are the best. If you are in New York City you must try their pizza. After all the city is known for its pizza. New York, it's oh so good.
