When you hear the word "Manhattan," What do you think of?Tall buildings, the Statue of Liberty, theaters, crowded streets? Well, all of those things are in Manhattan. My neighborhood-Inwood-is in Manhattan, Too, but it's very different from the rest of the city. Why? Well,for one thing, there's a lot of greenery in this neighborhood. In fact, we have a forest in Inwood. Many of its trees are hundreds of years old and there are lots of small animals and wild birds. You can go hiking in some parts of it and get lost!
Many buildings in this neighborhood are old, too. For example, there's a farmhouse near my home. It's over 200 years old. today it's a museum.
Inwood is an interesting neighborhood.It'a quiet place where you can hike in the parks. But then you can take a subway and, in 20 minutes, you can be in busy midtown Manhattan.
If you're ever in New York City, come and visit Inwood and see a part of Manhattan you didn't know existed. You'll be glad you did!
