When someone considers a trip to New York City, they usually think of the main tourist sites, such as the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. Those sights, while timeless and truly New York, can be time-consuming and may not be as important to a visitor as the city’s other offerings.
The first thing to do when planning an excursion to New York City is to consider the mode of travel; With 3 major airports serving the area, it can make a difference which airline to use, whether to avoid or prefer a specific airport. (JFK is considered the most difficult to get in and out of, while Newark is considered by some to be too far away.) However, with all of them, convenient ground transfers to the downtown area are available for less than $50 USD round trip. If you want to drive, it is important to check if the hotel you are considering offers parking and the price. High-priced designer stores are found along 5th Ave. and throughout downtown, but the downtown areas offer cheaper clothing that can be considered more modern.
Some of the most interesting and free sights that one should not miss include Ground Zero, Grand Central Station, Central Park, Rockefeller Center and Trump Tower. Its incredible architecture, including the Empire State and Chrysler buildings, exciting performances at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Broadway and off-Broadway theaters provide limitless cultural and aesthetic possibilities. This city of contrasts also contains the SoHo section, with its elegant art galleries, boutiques and bistros housed in historic cast-iron buildings between cobblestone streets.
The Statue of Liberty can be visited and climbed or simply viewed from the water on a boat cruise or from the Staten Island Ferry (which is free). The Ellis Island Immigration Museum, near the Statue of Liberty, conveys the experiences of our ancestors as they reached the end of their perilous journey and embraced the promise of a better life in the New World.
Among the 150 museums in New York City is one of the largest in the world: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the largest museum in the Western Hemisphere displaying more than 100,000 works by artists such as Picasso, Monet, Matisse and Warhol . Nearby is Times Square, the brightest symbol of New York’s revitalization. Most of New York’s best-known tourist attractions are concentrated in Manhattan. It has its own civic centers, cultural institutions, commercial area and residential neighborhoods. Its main attractions include: the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, the Brooklyn Museum, the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Aquarium for the Conservation of Wildlife and Coney Island. Flushing Meadow-Corona Park and Shea Stadium are the main attractions.
Winter in the Big Apple is glorious. Cool, sunny days illuminate its top attractions, illuminating the Statue of Liberty in a soft winter glow, glistening off the skates of ice skaters at Rockefeller Center, and lighting up the snow that has stuck to the trees in Central Park.
