Are you Planning a trip to New York ?
No other city has such a
diversity of people and cultures as New York City. Visitors can move along the
bustling sidewalks of Chinatown, enjoy ferry rides, visit statue of liberty,
shopping in manhattan, visit the Greek tavernas of Astoria, the Old World
Russian restaurants and clubs of Brighton Beach, the sari shops of Little India
in Jackson Heights, and an exciting nightlife, and so much more. New York is at
the top of the charts in every area!
Its incredible architecture includes the Empire State and
Chrysler buildings. The Empire state building, which is the tallest building in
New York City, was completed in 1931
during the great depression, and stood almost empty for some time. Today, it's host to millions of visitors a year,
most of whom ride to the fenced-in Observation Deck just a short distance from
the building's top. The popular Newyork
Skyride is launched from the mezzanine with Star Trek's Scottie (James
Doohan) as the guide. The Sky ride
emulates a rooftop flight over the city.
A double-decker bus tour of Manhattan is a good way to get a
quick orientation. The bus line tours allow visitors to get off the bus at
areas of interest and re board a later bus to continue their exploration.
Manhattan is also in walk able distance, which is good since getting a cab
there is difficult!
The Statue of Liberty can be visited and climbed or simply
viewed from the water on a tour boat cruise or from the Staten Island ferry (which
is free). Seeing the city skyline from the water is unforgettable! Ellis Island
Immigration Museum, near the Statue of
Liberty, conveys the experiences of our forebears as they came to the endof
their perilous journey and embraced the promise of a better life in the New World.
Newyork City has many attractions that both entertain and
educate children. In planning how to get from place to place, remember that
children love to ride on subway trains.
Be sure to allow for leisurely movement from place to place, and for
rest stops in between. Consider the weather too. The adage "getting there
is half the fun" is a good one to remember in order to keep the day enjoyable. Make a list of the must -see
places, and then cut it in half for best results. One trip to Newyork is never
enough. Each one can be a pleasant memory if the pace is right…
There are 15 miles of beaches within the city limits, 13
golf courses, four zoos . New York is on the north-south flyway for migrating
birds, and in the spring and fall they are present in colorful abundance. Bird
watching is popular in Central Park and at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in
Queens. Some of the discounted hotels in New York are East gate Tower, Portland
Square hotel, Milford Plaza and Hotel Pennsylvania.
When visiting New York you must keep in mind your safety
first, have places you want to see scheduled.
Go with someone else, preferably someone who knows the city. Don't trust
taxi's to take you the shortest way. Be prepared for some people to ask for
money, change etc. Don't give keep going. If you are a man, keep your money in
separate places. If you are a woman don't carry a long strap bag. When starting
your day, wait till the city wakes up. If you are going in the summer the
climate will be nice, if it's windy in the city it can get cool.
Don't forget camera, have fun.
