M: Hey, Mary, you said New York was very diverse. What parts or neighborhoods do you like?
W: I really like Soho because there"s lots of great shopping to do. There are really small shops, cute restaurants and cafes. And if I"m lucky sometimes when I"m walking around or eating I see movie stars. It was pretty cool.
M: I always hear about Central Park. Can you tell me something about Central Park?
W: Yeah, Central Park is obviously in the middle of Manhattan. It"s really big and people go and play sports or they just hang out and walk around. Cars are not allowed, and in the summertime you see a lot of bikers.
M: How big is the park?
W: It"s really big. It goes from I think 56th Street to 110th, so it"s pretty large.
M: What about other parts?
W: I lived right near Harlem and I actually really like Harlem because you get a very neighborhood feeling. You see people walking on the street talking to each other. Everyone knows each other. Everyone cares about each other.
M: Is there any area you don"t really like?
W: Because I am from New York City, I really don"t like going to Times Square. I feel like it"s very commercial and touristy. But I guess for tourists it"s very exciting. There"s all these lights, and it"s probably very exciting, the side street vendors, the musicians and all these things. It would be exciting for tourists, but I try to avoid it.
