New York amazes with its scale, energy and versatility. The impression is that it consists of several completely different cities. It is better to outline the places you want to visit in advance, because this is not the case when it is easy to "figure it out on the spot" and not a city that you can get around on foot.
1. Manhattan
The heart of New York, the area that occupies the island of New Island, combining both the "stone jungle" of skyscrapers, and the huge Central Park and the not very prosperous area of Harlem. The most expensive hotels, restaurants, business centers are on the central streets of Manhattan. You should definitely take a walk among the skyscrapers during working hours to blend in with the crowd.
2. Central Park
This park is amazing not only for its size, but also for the fact that it is located in the very center of the city and is literally surrounded by skyscrapers. In the park you can go boating, relax, play sports, watch turtles basking in the sun. And also take photographs of high-rise buildings visible from behind the trees.
3. Broadway
A very long and, perhaps, the most prestigious street in New York. To walk along it from beginning to end, a day is definitely not enough. Here you can find colonial architecture and the most modern buildings, office centers, boutiques, luxury hotels, theaters. Everyone who comes to the city must take a walk along one or another part of Broadway.
5. Times Square
A plaza in downtown Manhattan, a collection of shopping malls and financial institutions. It is famous for its huge sparkling advertising screens. Day and night, it is full of people and you can hear speech in all languages. Even if you have very little time, you just need to take a selfie here.
6. Brooklyn
Brooklyn is considered a less expensive and more bohemian area. Here are the concentration of artists, musicians, creative youth. Apartments are significantly cheaper than in Manhattan, which is why more expats and students from all over the world live here. To feel the atmosphere of the area, you just need to walk and have a coffee in one of the coffee shops.
8. Statue of Liberty
One of the main symbols not only of New York, but of the United States as a whole and the main center of attraction for tourists from all over the world. You can get to the island where the statue is located by ferry.
7. Metropolitan Museum
The museum is located on Fifth Avenue. It is simply impossible for art lovers not to visit it, because in a huge building you can find world masterpieces of painting and sculpture. Most of the funding comes from individuals and sponsors.
