City by Sarah Manners
New York City is one of the
greatest tourist destinations in the world; a city steeped in history and
culture and boasting some of the greatest architectural attractions in
the world, there is no shortage of things to do and see while visiting
the Big Apple.
| In fact if you are planning
on visiting you should plan your itinerary quite carefully as the likelihood
that you will be able to fit in a visit to every one of the greatest New
York attractions is slim.
While the legendary attractions
like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Central Park and
Times Square are a definite must, there is so much more to New York Travel.
There are the artworks at Whitney Museum of American Art, MoMA and Metropolitan
Museum of Art; the spectacular architecture encompassed by Brooklyn Bridge
and the Flatiron and Chrysler Buildings and of course, the fantastic retail
outlets!
With so much to do and see
many visitors opt to take a New York sightseeing tour or two during their

the street cafes and bistros of the Upper East Side will leave you with
a new appreciation for this heavenly delight.
