Spring Break In The Big City

HELLO EVERYONE

giphy

Spring break is just around the corner and many of us are stuck in New York. Plane tickets are a fortune and planning a trip for spring break is too late! We could only dream about leaving this snowy infested place and traveling to some place tropical. Cancun, Aruba, Florida, Jamaica, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Hawaii just to name a few magical places. Soo... Lets make the best of Spring Break! Take a nice break from studying and celebrate your accomplishments so far in semester. New York City has some great places to spend break. From restaurants and plays to parks and music, this big city has it all.
