Regardless of where you are from you should get to New York city as often as possible. New York is one of the great cities of the world. The scene of so much cultural history, New York city is amazingly diverse.
Here are just a small number of the things you can experience on a visit to 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 they do not use year round and are made available for rent on a short term basis to visitors. Rather than opting for a boring hotel room you can have your own luxurious short term New York apartment right in the center of town where you can experience New York like a New Yorker does.
Once you’re comfortably situated in your own New York apartment head out to visit some of the world famous sites the city has to offer. 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 which stands 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 goes across the entire city covering all the most famous sites.
Central Park is another famous place that every visitor to New York must visit. This extensive park land was set aside by the early designers of the city as a unique people place located right in the heart of the city. It features over 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 demolished in 2009. Or you’ll see the Yankee Stadium currently being built right in the same neighborhood. The new Yankee Stadium is scheduled to open sometime in 2009.
Sports fans will also want to take advantage of the “all access tour” to Madison Square Garden, home of the NBA Knicks, WNBA Liberty and NHL Rangers. MSG 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.
