In the men's clothing department on the 4th floor, Hong Tao finally bought a suitable formal suit, originally according to Erin and Nancy, they asked Hong Tao to buy a men's dress that matched Erin's lilac evening dress, but Hong Tao didn't do it.

His reasons are very sufficient, the first is that the kind of dress is usually not worn at all, and Hong Tao does not have so many formal occasions to attend, if he wears this thing for a meal with friends after returning to China, it will be too forced, so the utilization rate is very low; The second is that this dress is slightly more expensive, and it has to be matched with a special dress shirt, bow tie and buttons, which invisibly increases the cost.

With these ladies with you, it is naturally impossible to enter the store and rush to buy the goods, and leave after buying, then it is not a lady but a big man. Hong Tao actually spent less than half an hour shopping for his own clothes and shoes, but it was almost 7 p.m. when he walked out of Macy's.

Hong Tao, who was wearing sportswear and sneakers, felt that his legs and feet were a little sore, but the three women in stiletto heels were still fighting and walking vigorously.

"Let's find a place to eat, you're hungry too, aren't you? Today I have a treat! Seeing that the ladies were still a little unsatisfied, Hong Tao hurriedly offered a killer weapon, spending money to avoid being tired, as long as he got them into the restaurant, he could rest.

"There's another place ahead, we'll pick up the car after we've seen it, let's go eat seafood in the evening, Erin said you like seafood, I know a good restaurant, it's inside Central Station." Nancy and the others had apparently planned the whole journey, and they were not impressed by the flood.

Hong Tao saw that other people's free tour guides were so insistent, and he couldn't play with his life, so let's continue shopping. In fact, this last attraction is quite similar to Hongtao's taste, it is neither a place of interest nor the most expensive shop in the world, but a stadium.

Madison Square Garden!

As soon as you hear this name, I'm afraid that friends in sports programs will react immediately. This is the home of the American basketball NBA's New York Knicks and the American hockey NHL's New York Rangers. It also hosts high-level boxing matches and concerts, where Fred and Ali boxed and pop kings Michael. Jackson, pop diva Madonna, pop princess Britney, funny diva LadyGaGa, pop king Justin. Bieber and others have held concerts here.

The real Madison Square is not here, it's at the intersection of Madison Avenue and 26th Street, the cylindrical stadium was originally built in Madison Plaza, and then it was demolished three times before finally moving to its current location. But the name Madison Square Garden has been etched into the minds of New Yorkers, and the stadium still bears its original name.

In addition, opposite the stadium is the largest train station in New York. Pennsylvania Station. The station building occupies two blocks from 8th Avenue to 9th Avenue, the platform is all hidden underground, and the number of daily departures and passenger traffic is more than twice that of Grand Central Terminal, mainly long-distance trains to the United States and Canada, so many Americans come to New York for the first time, and the first thing they see when they walk out of the station is the white cylindrical stadium across the street, Madison Square Garden, which is also a landmark building in New York.

But it's a pity that the flood came at the wrong time. The NBA doesn't start until mid-October, the NHL doesn't play until November, and the NFL and MLB, that is, baseball and football, are going on right now. It's a pity that their home stadium is not here, this is just the stadium, and the two outdoor events, one is at the Metropolitan Stadium. One at Yankee Stadium.

Usually, Madison Square Park can be visited for $17 per person, and you can go in and go around with the group. You can also walk around the pitch and check out the boxes of the obvious big names. But there is an indoor tennis match here tonight, so the visit is definitely not possible, as for buying tickets to see tennis Hongtao really doesn't have this Yaxing, people who can't even play are blind to watch, save that money.

The seafood restaurant Nancy said was in Grand Central Station, so they had to go back, but this time they didn't go back the same way, but went north along Seventh Avenue first, and when they got to 42nd Street, they didn't turn right to Grand Central Station, but continued to walk forward until they reached 44th Street and walked up a diagonal street.

The name of this street is also thunderous, it is called Broadway, which is a wide street according to the literal translation, but it can be called Broadway according to the transliteration, and it is estimated that the first person in China to translate the name of this street must be a Shanghainese, because there are only many places in Shanghai called what is the place, such as Xujiahui, Wuhui and the like.

However, Hong Tao feels that this Broadway translation is very appropriate, sink, has the meaning of rivers gathering, but also a kind of container, with the meaning of accumulation and collection. However, on this street, it is not the rivers that gather, but the culture; It's not the objects that accumulate, it's the theater.

Starting from 41st Street to 53rd Street, there are dozens of large and small theaters in these more than ten blocks, ranging from old licenses such as Marquis, Palace, Winter Garden, Broadway Theater, to the new-generation Nederlander Theater and so on.

These theaters are not movies, but American operas, or musicals. Many famous repertoire has been performed here for ten or eight years, and the beauties are not annoyed, and no matter how beautiful things are, they are tired of watching them year after year, right?

"Why don't we eat some hot dogs and go to the opera? Today there is "Miss Saigon"! Bonnie seems to have a lot of artistic cells in her body, not only studying relief carvings, but also enjoying opera.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! I can't really watch the opera, I'll fall asleep in it, let's go eat seafood. Hong Tao couldn't care about being reserved at this time, and quickly told the fact that he was a layman.

"He doesn't have any artistic cells at all, you better go around him, and he will snore when he falls asleep......" Erin knew Hong Tao's general preferences, and quickly came forward to help him play a round, and by the way, exposed one of his vices.

"Hahahaha...... Hahaha...... Bonnie didn't force it, and the three girls laughed for a while, and then collectively turned right and opened the way towards Grand Central Station.

At more than 10 o'clock in the evening, Hong Tao and Erin finally returned to the apartment, that Nancy was really hospitable, for fear that Hong Tao would have fewer places to visit, after having dinner at Grand Central Station, he deliberately drove Hong Tao from the Queens Tunnel through the East River into Queens, and then turned to Brooklyn, and then crossed the brightly lit Brooklyn Bridge, returned to Lower Manhattan, and simply looked at the night view of New York City.

This is not the end, early the next morning, this Nancy and Bonnie arrived as promised, drove Hong Tao and the two of them, spent half a day browsing the Brooklyn, Queens and part of the Bronx in New York, and rubbed Hong Tao in Erin's apartment before leaving unsatisfied.

If it weren't for Erin and Hong Tao going to attend the drinking party at night, these two enthusiastic girls also planned to take Hong Tao to take the ferry to Stendon Island, another district of New York, to have a look, from this day's more contact, they like their hometown very much, and they love it very much, so they want Hong Tao, a foreigner, to know as much about New York as possible, as long as you can praise the advantages of New York, they are very satisfied, not tired at all.

They are not tired, Hong Tao is really not annoyed, he is still full of curiosity about New York, in fact, his curiosity may come up anytime and anywhere. Although Hong Tao has only lived in New York for 2 days, he has a general understanding of the city of New York through watching around and communicating with Nancy and Bonnie.

There is a saying among the Chinese: it is better to see than to hear! This statement is simply true.

Hong Tao is already a well-informed person, he guards an American daughter-in-law, and he can often hear about her life and work in New York from Erin's mouth, which should be very accurate, right? Actually, that's not the case! This is not Erin's intention to deceive him, it has something to do with the nature of Erin's work.

She stays in the office building all day, or goes to the client's company, although she has lived in New York for a few years, but in her eyes New York is apartments, subways, office buildings and companies, at most plus a few supermarkets nearby, laundry, beauty salons or something, at best it is a corner of New York, not to mention the whole picture of New York, let alone familiar with New York.

This trip to New York City is not only a rare opportunity for Hong Tao to understand the city, but also a make-up lesson for Irene, so that she can become more familiar with the city where she works and lives.

As far as Hong Tao's current understanding of New York is concerned, except for the Stendon Island that he has not been to, he has basically been to the other four districts, among which Manhattan Island is the most familiar, Brooklyn and Queens belong to the horses, and the Bronx is a dragonfly.

As far as Manhattan Island is concerned, Midtown is the most prosperous area, Downtown is a bit of an old town, and Uptown should be considered outside the 4th Ring Road according to Beijing's habits, with both high-end neighborhoods and areas with poor security like Harlem.

Originally, Hong Tao thought that Brooklyn was the slum and cradle of crime in New York, but in fact he was wrong, he was deceived by those American movies again, and the really scary places in New York are the Bronx and Manhattan's Harlem, and Brooklyn is only the center of the city, ranking third at most.

Hong Tao has no concept of racial discrimination, because he himself is a colored person by American standards, but he has lived in New York for more than 2 days, and what he has to say is that there are many black people living there, and the law and order there are poor, which is an indisputable fact.
