You Must Visit New York City at Least Once
Regardless of where you are from you should visit New York city at least once in your life. New York is not only one of the largest cities in the world, but it is also one of the most exciting and interesting cities you’ll ever visit. The scene of so much cultural history, New York city has something for everyone.
Here are just some of the things you can experience when you visit New York. And remember, one of the very best ways to experience the city is by staying in a New York vacation rental.
This mode of accommodation is becoming more and more popular every year. New York apartment rentals are homes owned by New Yorkers which are rented on a short term basis to visitors. Instead of just opting for a boring hotel room you can have your own completely unique short term New York apartment right in the center of the action where you can experience New York like a New Yorker does.
After you’re comfortably situated in your own New York apartment strike out and visit some of the world famous sites that are virtually everywhere you look in the city. Right at the top of the list has to be the Empire State Building. This famous building is familiar to just about everyone. It is a national historic landmark and is more than a quarter of a mile high and towers over the heart of Manhattan.
While you’re there, consider taking New York Skyride. This 22 minute simulated multimedia tour lifts off from the top of the popular Empire State Building Observatory and takes you to see all the sites of the city.
Be sure to take a walk in Central Park too. This extensive park land was set aside by the early administrators of the city as a unique people place located right in the heart of the city. It contains more than 840 acres of carefully maintained recreational areas that include a zoo, a theatre, sports facilities, lakes, food, entertainment and lots more.
For sports fans a visit to Yankee Stadium is a must. You can see the old historic version – “The House That Ruth Built” – if you make it before it is taken down in 2009. Or you’ll see the Yankee Stadium currently being built right in the same neighborhoodscheduled to open later in 2009.
Another must for sports fans is an “all access tour” to Madison Square Garden, home of the NBA Knicks, WNBA Liberty and NHL Rangers. The Garden has been the scene of many famous sporting, cultural, political and religious events.
The list of tourist highlights in New York City is virtually endless. There is something for everyone, including such sites as Greenwich Village, Chinatown, Radio City Music Hall, The Guggenheim Music, Bloomingdales, Broadway, Carnegie Hall and the Bronx Zoo. You will almost certainly want to visit Times Square, Ground Zero, The Statue of Liberty, take a tour of the United Nations, and hop on the city’s best free ride – the Staten Island Ferry.
