New York is one of the most exciting cities in the world.
You might want to do some shopping in New York. Fifth Avenue is probably New York‘s most famous shopping street, but if you go, be prepared to window shoponly. This is shopping for the rich. There are other, less expensive shopping areas nearby, and you‘ll soon come across famous stores such as Bloomingdales, Macy‘s and FAO Schwartz. And if you‘ve brought your rollerblades, then a visit to Central Park is a must. This is a large, open park right in the middle of Manhattan, but if you thought that people came here to relax, sit down for a few minutes and get away from the rush of New York life, then you‘d be wrong. Nobody sits in Central Park: they run, jog（慢跑）, and most of all they rollerblade.
When you leave New York, you might be tired, even poor and overweight, but the one thing you won‘t be is bored! 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，回答問題。

You look at a menu above the counter, and say what you‘d like to eat. You pay the person who serves you. You take your food and sit down or take it away. There‘s no need to leave a tip.
