If you’ve got your eyes on Paris, but only have a budget for a trip to New York City, don’t worry. You can still experience that Euro feeling.
Visit the Arc de Triomphe
Well…. not really. But the arch in Washington Square Park was modelled after it.
Washington Square Park
It’s one of Jamieshaffer’s favourite places.
There were (as always) some interesting characters there, including a guy dressed up with a cape and sword who was making a big production out of how he was refusing to perform that day out of protest for something or other.

See some European art
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you can see all kinds of precious artwork from Europe. You can also stop by the Museum of Modern art to check out the waterlilies by Claude Monet, or as Gary_cailin found out, one of the traveling shows.
Picasso on display at MoMA
As I walked up through Central Park it started to snow. It was honestly one of the most romantic things I’ve ever seen, and of course I was on my own at the time. Thanks irony, you cold hearted bitch. Next museum on my stop was the MoMA, or Museum of Modern Art to all you non-artistic plebs. Another excellent museum, but alas, once again I only got to see about half of it before closing time. There was an excellent Van Gogh exhibition on which was very impressive, even though every time I heard an American say “Van Go” I wanted to punch them.

Slurp some spaghetti
For dinner, you can spend some time in Little Italy, like Malteaser did.
Little Italy
Really amazing you cross one road and you feel like you are in another country. Little Italy is just like Lygon street but the streets and the buildings have more of a history. Saying that when it comes to prices of good Italian food we win by a mile. Size is important here, although its good to eat.
