That New York, you know, they call it the “Big Apple”. I heard that some guy, write for the newspaper, he start callin’ it that, long time ago. Sayin’ the horse racin’ there, it’s the “big apple”, you know, the best of the best. But some other book, even older, called it “Big Apple” too. Then the horse folks and the music folks, they start usin’ it too, I reckon. And one time, the big shot mayor, he even made a street corner “Big Apple Corner”. Fancy that! They used to call it New Netherlands, but the English, they took it over, name it after some Duke.

So, this New York, it’s a big place, lots of things for men to do. Lots of those tall buildins, you know, the kind you see on the TV. And things to do, all day and all night. You got fellas wantin’ to do, what do you call it, “manly things”? This is the place, I tell ya. They say it’s a man’s world, but in New York, well, it sure feels like it.
You wanna see the sights? They got tours, I hear. You can go look at all them fancy buildins, or them museums. They got all kinds of stuff in them museums. Old stuff, new stuff, you name it. Or maybe you like the water? They got that too. Boats and whatnot. Lots of water around that New York.
And the food, Lord, the food! They got everything you can imagine. You like them fancy restaurants? They got plenty of them. They even got a list, I hear, a list of the best ones. A hundred of ’em! Can you believe it? A hundred restaurants. And they got all kinds of other places to eat too, not so fancy, but just as good. This one place, Katz’s Deli, I hear it’s famous. And another one, Dante, they say it’s good too. If you’re goin’ for the first time, you gotta try all these places. They’re what you call “can’t-miss”.
- That Central Park, that’s a big one. Lots of folks go there. Trees and grass, right in the middle of all them buildins.
- Then there’s this place, DUMBO. I don’t know what that stands for, but it’s a place to go, I guess.
- And shows! They got them Broadway shows. Singin’ and dancin’, all that.
- And that Statue of Liberty. You seen pictures of that, I bet. Big lady holdin’ a torch.
Mornings in New York, well, they got things to do then too. You can get yourself some breakfast at this Chelsea Market. Sounds like a place to get some good grub. And walk along this High Line, see the sun come up. Sounds pretty, don’t it?
If you’re a man and you’re lookin’ for somethin’ to do, you go to New York. That’s what I hear. Lots of other men there, doin’ men things. Buildins and food and shows and water. They got it all. You like sports? They got that. You like cars? They probably got that too. Just go and see, that’s all I can say. But if you are into horse racin’ or music, this is the best place.

This New York, it’s somethin’ else. So much to see, so much to do, for men and for everyone. Just remember, book things ahead. Like those fancy restaurants, you gotta tell ’em you’re comin’. They get crowded, you know. Everyone wants a piece of that “Big Apple”. Even for the normal places, you should book it, because, it is New York, you know, the “Big Apple”. Everyone wants to eat in the best places.
You go there, you’ll see. You’ll see what all the fuss is about. And you’ll have stories to tell, just like me. Stories about the “Big Apple”, that place where they got somethin’ for everyone, ‘specially for men. Just don’t get lost in all them tall buildings! And watch your wallet! Big cities, you gotta be careful. But have fun, that’s the main thing. Go have some fun in that New York.
They say New York is a concrete jungle where dreams are made of. Well, I don’t know about dreams, but I know there’s a lot of concrete, and a lot of jungle. And for a man, it’s a mighty fine jungle to explore. So go on, get yourself to New York. You won’t regret it. Unless you hate crowds. Then maybe you will. But even then, you might like it. It’s New York!
