Big Apple Entices Long Islanders The word island” conjures up visions of isolation, of being cut off from the world. Fortunately, this is not the case with Long Island. Farm- ingdale, situated just fourteen miles from the outskirts of New York City, allows access to some of the most cultural and historical sites in the world. For elementary school stu- dents, the proximity of the world renowned city means class trips to the Bronx Zoo, the Statue of Liberty, and the United Nations. Prepared for a big day in the city, students clutch their brown bag lunch- es and closely follow their assigned chaperones. These trips had a significant purpose; children learned early about what makes New York City so special. High school trips give the students more freedom, allowing them to dine at restaurants of their choice and experience differ- ent cultural aspects of the Big Apple.” A full day might include visting famous mu- seums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, dinner, and a Broadway show. More fre- quently, however, students venture into the city on their own by train to see rock con- certs at Madison Square Gar- den. After the concert, they often risk a walk around the in- famous city streets. Some who have visited Manhattan individually have experienced Laserium , or reminisced at Beatlemania. Christmas time also brings many students to the city. Nothing arouses the holday spirit more than a view of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Plaza, or an afternoon spent merely peeping into the ani- mated windows of Lord and Taylors FAO Scharz. New York’s attempt to en- courage pride and respect for the city appears to have been effective. The familiar tune, bumper stickers, and buttons reading, ”1 Love New York, seem to have implanted the Big Apple” in the minds of Long Islanders. EAST SIDE. WEST SIDE “The city is a great place to observe different kinds of people — Joe Connelly, senior. “Too many Long Islan- ders take the city for grant- ed. It's the foreigners who come here to really explore it — Neil Berl, senior.
