New York City is a tourist’s dream destination. With a

veritable limitless number of sightseeing tours, photographic
visitors might be more inclined to look for things that show
opportunities and historical landmarks, you can spend a week

New York City’s skyline is truly awe-inspiring. The
skyscrapers, bridges, waterways, islands and
monuments create a breathtaking panorama that
NYC SKYLINE
is instantly
recognizable
worldwide. While you can feel the immensity of these
surroundings from anywhere in the City, the grandeur
of the cityscape is best viewed from above. Take an
elevator ride up 1,050 feet to the 86th-floor observation deck of the Empire State Building; New York
City’s second-tallest structure (after One World Trade
USA
a lifetime
Center), this soaring art deco masterpiece offers a
completely unobstructed, 360-degree view of the city
below.
STATUE OF LIBERTY
TIMESQUARE
ELLIS ISLAND
Not sure where to look while
walking through worldfamous Times Square? Don’t
worry-you’re not alone. With
massive digital billboards
whose bright lights make
midnight look like
midafternoon; starstudded Broadway and
Off-Broadway shows (and
reduced-price tickets to see
them available from the TKTS
Discount Booth);
people peddling art and
jewelry on the street; and, of
course, the Naked Cowboy-who
play guitar in his tighty-whities- the
expansive stretch of Midtown is a
feast for all five senses. Visitors can
shop, take pictures with wax celebrities at Madame Tussauds.
The Statue of Liberty is New York
City’s most recognizable landmark,
a gleaming beacon for generations
of immigrants seeking a better life in
America. To visit the monument, buy
tickets online in advance of your trip
at statuecruises.com. (Though you
can see Lady Liberty from land, the
short ferry ride to Liberty Island will
bring you up close and personal.)
The nearby Ellis Island Immigration
Museum provides a fascinating view
of a historic crossroads. At this site,
visitors can explore the building that
served as the first port of entry in the
United States for approximately 12
million immigrants, as well as search
ship manifests for passenger names
in the American Family Immigration
History Center.
And with Broadway closed to cars
from West 42nd to West 47th Streets,
Times Square is now more pedestrian
friendly than ever.

TAKE IN THE CUSTOMARY
HISTORICAL LANDMARKS
While every proud American should visit the historical
significance of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire
State Building, The World Trade Center Memorial and the
other national landmarks in New York, there are simply too
many to detail on a list of ten. For that reason, the historical
landmarks are combined into one section.
JOIN THE ARGUMENT
FOR BEST PIZZA
One of the longest running debates is not only New York vs.
Chicago pizza, but who actually has the best pizza in New
York. Tons of New York restaurants serving homemade pizza
offer up a voice in the debate. You simply can’t take a trip to
NYC without adding your input on the matter, and fortunately,
there’s no tastier debate! Try the classic pies at Lombardi’s
Pizzeria on Spring Street for a taste of old NY and don’t let
the line at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria in Brooklyn scare you, it moves
pretty quickly!
TAKE IT TO THE
TOP OF THE ROCK
The newly opened Top of the Rock Observation Deck on the
67th, 69th and 70th floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza offers one
of the most impressive views of one of the most impressive
cities in the world. It’s open until midnight for a romantic
visage of the twinkling stars above mirroring the glittering
lights from the city below.
THE METROPOLITAN
MUSEUM OF ART
From the early 20th century portraits and sculptures to the
steel mastery of Frank Stella, the Met is one of the foremost
collections of fine art in the world. The museum is so expansive and visual; you should plan on spending an entire day
here. If you’ve never been, get on a flight to New York City
and go see some fine art. Tip: Wear comfortable shoes!
RADIO CITY MUSIC HALL
Is there a more American theater than Radio City Music
Hall? This timeless testament to entertainment has captivated visitors since the 1930s and no other dance troupe
will ever hold the esteem in the hearts of Americans like the
Rockettes.
MADAME TUSSAUDS
WAX MUSEUM
Where else in the world can you have a picture taken with
Britney Spears, President Bush and Jack Sparrow? This
world-famous wax museum is one of the most visited spots
in New York and you shouldn’t miss the opportunity to visit
these stunningly accurate figures.
BROADWAY
If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. And
without a doubt, you should try to make it to a Broadway
show! This is the most famous theater district in the world,
and you can choose from timeless classic productions like
“Chicago” at the Ambassador or a newer stage rendition of
“Mary Poppins” at the New Amsterdam Theater. Either way,
no trip to New York is complete without some singing and
dancing.
TIMES SQUARE
It doesn’t have to be New Year’s Eve to enjoy Times Square
in New York City. As the heartbeat of NYC, Times Square
signifies everything that the city represents. The excitement,
the glamour, the independent free-spiritedness and artistic
qualities of New York are all on display in this timeless spot.
One of the best places to begin sampling true New York night
life.
CARNEGIE HALL
An entire trip can be dedicated to Carnegie Hall and its
collection of delicious restaurants, its enticing gift shop and
educational museum. As one of the premiere concert halls in
the nation, Carnegie Hall is a national institution.
STROLL THROUGH
CENTRAL PARK
Leave your New York hotel and enjoy a stroll or ride a bike
through one of America’s most famous parks. There are
plenty of recreational activities and there’s always
something special going on in the park, like the Central Park
Film Festival. Besides the natural splendor of the surroundings,
the best part about Central Park is that it’s free!
