New York City is the most populous city in
the United States, the most densely populated major city in North America, and
is at the center of international finance, politics, entertainment, and
culture. New York City is one of the world's global cities, home to an almost
unrivaled collection of world-class museums, galleries, performance venues,
media outlets, international corporations, and stock exchanges. The city is
also home to all of the international embassies to the United Nations, itself
headquartered in New York City.
 Its incredible architecture includes the
Empire State and
Chrysler buildings. There are the thrilling performances at
Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan Opera, Broadway and off
Broadway theaters. Overall, the City provides unlimited cultural and esthetic
possibilities. 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 reboard a later bus to continue their exploration.
No other city has such a diversity of people and cultures as New York
City. Within the boundaries of its five
boroughs lies a microcosm of the whole world. Visitors can move along the
bustling sidewalks of Chinatown, visit the Greek tavernas of Astoria, the Old
World Russian restaurants and clubs of Brighton Beach, the Italian communities
of Little Italy and Arthur Avenue, the sari shops of Little India in Jackson
Heights, and so much more. This city of contrasts also contains the SoHo
section, with its stylish art galleries, boutiques, and bistros housed in
historic cast iron buildings among cobblestone streets. With 18,000 restaurants,150 world-class museums; more than
10,000 stores, numerous talented musicians, actors, and dancers; hundreds of
family friendly activities; a profusion of parks and gardens, and an exciting
nightlife, New York is at the top of the charts in every area! New
York is home to the World Series champions, the
New York Yankees, and
from April to October you can cheer with and for them at Yankee Stadium. New
York has many other great sports teams such as the Knicks, Mets, Giants, Jets,
Rangers, MetroStars, and New York Liberty.

Horseracing is a spectator
sport that can be viewed outdoors or comfortably from the clubhouse. Follow the
Thoroughbreds at Belmont
Park for most of the summer, and repeat the experience in the winter at
Aqueduct Racetrack. 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 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 world's
greatest: the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the largest museum in the Western Hemisphere displaying more
than 100,000 works from artists such as Picasso, monet, Matisse, and Warhol
Nearby is Times Square, the brightest symbol of New York's revitalization. It
is possible to devote a whole day to the visual arts in just one trip to Museum
Mile on Fifth Avenue, between 70th and 105th Streets, with its many cultural
treasure troves. New York 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. However, getting on and
off the train also involves a flight or two of stairs to and from the
underground. It is wise to consider overall travel time and energy when
planning the day. 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, while avoiding exhaustion and frayed tempers. Make a list of the
must -see places, and then cut it in half for best results. One trip to New
York 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, and four zoos. There are botanical gardens in
each of the five boroughs, including the
Brooklyn Botanic Garden and
the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. The boroughs also have wonderful
parks such as Prospect Park in Brooklyn and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in
Queens.
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.
First time visitors to New York can't possibly see and do
everything, but they can get a wonderful introduction to the sights, visit
famous attractions, and make notes for a return trip. In fact, there is no such
thing as a last visit to New York.
There are always plans being made
for "the next time we're here
