New York : New York
New York, New York
The restless, relentless energy of Manhattan is best experienced by walking it, although you will quickly learn that New Yorkers seldom stroll but move at a pace more closely resembling a quick jog. An atmosphere of continuous commercial celebration is evident in the "theatre of the street" that you will see all around you. But history, too, may be found around any corner. There are Theodore Roosevelt's boyhood home, and Hamilton Grange, home of Alexander Hamilton. Peter Stuyvesant, the last Dutch governor, is buried at St. Mark's-in-the-Bouwerie Church.
A tour that begins in midtown could include trips to the top of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, two of Manhattan's most well-loved icons. Back at street level, be sure to walk through Grand Central Station with its impressive starry dome under which millions of commuters pass each day without ever looking up. On Fifth Avenue you will find exclusive stores with goods from the world's top designers. Other midtown sites of interest include the world headquarters of the United Nations and Rockefeller Center, home of Radio City Music Hall and, each winter, the famous Christmas tree and skating rink.
After experiencing the busy street life, take a break in the relative tranquility of Central Park, an oasis of green in the heart of the city. Visit the zoo, try in-line skating, take in an open-air performance of Shakespeare at the Delacorte, or simply relax alongside one of the park's many meadows, bridges, and lakes. Several of the city's largest museums border Central Park, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim , and the American Museum of Natural History. Other nearby museums include the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Frick Collection, and the Museum of the City of New York. Within a few blocks of Central Park, you will also find the performance stages of Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall.
Out in New York harbor stands the Statue of Liberty and restored Ellis Island, now a museum celebrating the 19th- and 20th-century arrival of immigrants to the United States. Both can be visited by ferries leaving from Battery Park at the tip of Manhattan.
Not to be outdone, the other boroughs of New York City offer significant attractions as well. A ride on the Staten Island Ferry offers one of the most spectacular and affordable ways to view the city skyline. A subway trip to the Bronx will take you to Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo. Fans can go to Shea Stadium to see the Mets play baseball and to nearby Flushing Meadows for the U.S. Tennis Open, both in the Borough of Queens. Brooklyn has the Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Prospect Park and, of course, the world famous amusement parks and outdoor recreation of Coney Island.
