New York is big, exciting, and tastes great!

I’m getting so excited! After months of waiting, planning and saving, I’m finally going to New York this week on holiday! Yippee!

I am, of course, looking forward to seeing some great sights, and exploring some cool neighbourhoods. But whatever place I visit on holiday, there’s always one thing I look forward to in particular: food! Some people tell me I’m strange, but I think food is one of the most important parts of a holiday. I just love trying out local specialities! And in New York there will be loads of food to try. There’ll be burgers and hotdogs, New York cheesecake, cinnamon rolls and ice cream. I’ll definitely eat some steak. And I’ll also check out Chinatown and Little Italy. I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

I just hope the waiters understand my British accent. The last time I went to the US, I tried ordering a glass of water and the waiter looked at me strangely. He didn’t understand the way I pronounced "water"! Let’s hope they understand my order this time – otherwise I might have to cook my own food!
