Now you're in New York...
So a couple of months ago, Ioana and I traveled
to New York City.
The Big Apple!
And we'd like to show you a little bit
about our trip and some of the things we did
as well as show you some new vocabulary words.
Enjoy!
There are just so many different places
to see in New York City.
So this building right here is called a skyscraper.
And a skyscraper is just a
really, really, really tall building.
And New York City has a lot of them.
Typically they say a skyscraper is building that has
40 to 50 floors or more.
And this building right here
is the Empire State Building.
One of the most famous buildings in New York City.
Here in New York City you meet some
very, very cool people.
So there's a lot of jaywalking in New York.
And jaywalking means when people cross the street
when they're not supposed to.
So if the light is red and people cross,
they're jaywalking.
There is a lot of jaywalking in New York.
Basically, nobody respects the rules
and everyone jaywalks.
Should we jaywalk?
Run, run, run, run, run...
NO!
Ioana is not jaywalking.
Neither am I.
Because...we're allowed to now.
This is the Stardust diner.
Home of the singing waitstaff.
We're going to eat here tonight.
That's Danny...our server.
Welcome to Central Park.
It's cold.
It is cold.
Right now the temperature is about
I'd say about freezing.
It's a little colder actually.
But it's windy as
Central Park has a lot of ponds.
And a pond is a body of water
that is surrounded by land.
The difference between a pond and a lake
is that a pond is much smaller than a lake.
Like this one!
Right now, it's drizzling outside.
And drizzling means when there is rain
but it's very, very light rain.
So light that you can't really even see it.
But you can kind of still see it on your clothes.
So right now we are on a ferry.
And a ferry is just a boat
that's used for public transportation
and takes people from one place to another.
And this ferry goes from
Staten Island to Manhattan.
This ferry is preparing to depart.
Thank you for riding the Staten Island Ferry.
We hope you enjoyed our trip around New York.
