Of all the pages I visited, in my opinion the most interesting is the MoMA site, this website has a design that at first glance captivates, with its vibrant colors, its aesthetics and readability is easy to navigate, it was also one of the pages that I found the information I needed the fastest.

If I had the opportunity to visit New York, there is no doubt that the first thing I would do would be to eat the 1 dollar pizzas. I'm a person who enjoys the food and clearly it is something I could not miss!

Secondly, I would obviously go to the most iconic places in NYC. Such as the Statue of Liberty, Time Square or the Brooklyn Bridge, (and of course the MoMA).

Finally, as a makeup lover, there is no doubt that I would go to Sephora stores, the largest makeup store! Really a dream for those of us who are stuck in this world.
