Situation:
Emily visits a tourist office in New York City. She wants to know the best places to visit in the city.
Staff
Emily
Hi, I've just got in and I was wondering if you could recommend anything to see here in the city.
Staff
Well, if you like art, you really should go to the Metropolitan Art Museum - the MOMA. There's a lot of places to visit here since it's downtown.
Emily
Ahh yeah, I've heard of that. I assume I will enjoy here a lot.
Staff
And then there's the Empire State Building. You can go to the top of that and get a great view of the city.
Emily
What about eating out?
Staff
Well, you really should try some of New York City's restaurants. There's one I really like that serves gourmet hamburgers on 5th Avenue.
Emily
That sounds good. What about a Broadway show? I've heard so much about Broadway and I'd love to see a show there.
Staff
Well, the musical Wicked is playing. Also other bands are quite popular.
Emily
What about nightlife? I'm really into alternative music.
Staff
Oh well, New York has some great soundproof clubs and pubs. You can see a lot on Bleeker Street. You can see lots of signages across the street.
Emily
Oh, thanks for your suggestions. Very useful.
Staff
You're welcome. Have fun! And stay safe!
