New York City

With so much to see and do, a trip to New York City may seem a little overwhelming. The city is so big, mere words penned from a few local tour guides cannot capture the true essence of the city... there is simply too much to comprehend!

Radio City Music Hall. If you are visiting New York, especially during the Christmas Holiday Season, be sure to visit perhaps the most famous American theater, Radio City Music Hall. Radio City Music Hall has hosted more than 300 million people who have come to attend performances here.

Since 1930 the Rockettes have performed and become revered in the United States.

Rockefeller Center was built in grand style in the 1930's. It remains a popular building icon primarily due to its famous annual Christmas tree-lighting ceremony in early December, the Promenade with its changing plant and flower displays, and the ice-skating rink, topped by a gold sculpture of Prometheus. The "Today Show" and studio 8H, home for "Saturday Night Live" are popular tourist destinations in the city. Radio City Music Hall and Top of the Rock Observation Deck are nearby as well as numerous shopping and dining destinations.

These days, things are different. The once-Bohemian area of SoHo has been gentrified and burnished into one of the most expensive and chic neighborhoods in the city and home to many celebrities. Although a handful of the artists who originally transformed SoHo’s factories and warehouses into studios, galleries and lofts still call this area home, it has metamorphosed into a downtown haven for well-to-do shoppers.

South Street Seaport is a 11-block touristy area. Its cobblestone streets are home to a world-class maritime museum with galleries and a collection of historic vessels, amid scores of restaurants and shops. The seaport also hosts a variety of special events, ranging from a spectacular music series to street festivals. The view from Pier 17 of the Brooklyn Bridge and Brooklyn Heights, across the East River, is breathtaking.

The most suburban of the five boroughs, Staten Island is usually not regarded as a tourist destination. But it should not be overlooked. The North Shore is home to the St. George Historic District and the East Shore is home to the 2.5-mile FDR Boardwalk and Beach. You can also visit Historic Richmond Town for a recreation of colonial New York. The beautiful Hamilton Park neighborhood was the setting for "The Godfather" movie.

There is no more important symbol in New York City than the Statue of Liberty on Ellis Island. Although 10 years in the making and terribly underfunded, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York in 1884 in 350 individual pieces and packed in 214 crates and dedicated in 1886. It has become the American symbol of freedom and welcome to the immigrants who come to the USA looking for a better life.

The Bronx offers beautiful views of the Hudson River and a strong ethnic flavor that helps define The Bronx. The Italian American, Puerto Rican, Mexican, and Dominican Republic cultures have a strong presence and contribute to its ethnicity.

Arguably the most popular destination for tourists, this is the land of skyscrapers and theater, tenements and pure energy. Carnegie Hall and Rockefeller Center sit on its eastern edge; to the west, sits Hell's Kitchen with its well-priced ethnic restaurants, trendy bars and independent shops.

In the middle is Times Square, replete with over-the-top signs, screaming crowds, scam artists and card sharks running sidewalk games, over-the-top commerce and lots and lots of theater.

Union Square is a popular spot for teenage skate-boarders, artists, various performers and protests, as well as the location of the Union Square Greenmarket, where over 70 vendors sell high-quality produce, meats, baked goods, and other wares to discerning consumers. Several well-known restaurants are also located in this area, which contains the landmark triangular Flatiron Building.

New Things To Do

  • Aquariums

    Oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, and we’ve only explored about 5% of it. That leaves so much of the Earth that we know nothing about. Not everyone can dive right into the water to look at the ocean life, so why not do the next best thing? Aquariums give us a window into a whole other world. Most locations around the world have aquariums; some larger than others.

  • Snowmobiling

    Snowmobiling began to take off in the 1950's as lightweight design emerged. At first, snowmobiling was a topic of dispute, because snowmobilers like to take advantage of the flexibility of their machines to travel off-road, thereby disrupting otherwise pristine environments. Others objected to snowmobilers because their machines were noisy and polluted the environment.
