Incredible New York

By Clive Adams

Even seasoned travelers are awed by the dazzle of New York. You may have seen every iconic structure and street in Hollywood blockbusters, yet the real thing is even more impressive and never ceases to amaze.

New York is a city on the go - a city that never sleeps. Its bright lights and spirit are undimmed by the events of 9/11 or the recession. A young and articulate new president too has reignited hope.

Whether you are an art, history or music buff, or whether you like clubbing and dining, the city has it all. From grand museums, theatres and galleries, to an array of eating places and parks, there's plenty to see, do and experience.

The city has several iconic attractions, starting with the magnificent Statue of Liberty. Some of the other must-see attractions include the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Central Park and Rockefeller Center. Its museums are such a treasure trove that you can lose yourself in one for over a month and yet not manage to see everything.

Manhattan impresses with its towering skyscrapers, retail stores, theatres, restaurants, pubs and bars. Everything you can possibly think of is here, including the city's main attractions.

One of the best ways to explore New York, especially Manhattan, is on foot. You can feel the city's vibe as you eat a hot dog from a street vendor, watch New Yorkers on their way to work and have a pint at a charming Irish pub. You can also choose to live it up by dining at posh restaurants and attending gallery openings. You will discover that it is possible to survive on a few dollars and also that in some places even a few thousand won't go too far. What you do will colour and shape your experience of this multi-faceted city.

New York is one of the few cities in the world which tourists flock to round the year, even in sweltering summers and chilly winters. The reason is simple - there's always something exciting happening in some part of the city. You will never feel bored or be lost for things to do. In fact, with so much of choice your only problem will be figuring out how to fit in so much in your holiday itinerary.

New York is definitely worth visiting - again and again. - 30412
