New York City:
Traveler’s Paradise
And that isn’t an empty boast.
New York City, hailed as the city that
never sleeps, fondly known as the Big
Apple, is home to approximately eight
million people and with the population
still expected to rise in the years to
come. New York City is touted as the
center of the world maybe because each
part of the globe has left an indelible
mark in this place. From food to works
of art to culture exhibits to tourist
spots, whatever it is you want your
senses to take pleasure in, New York
City most probably has it.
Hotels : This is one of the common
problems that travelers encounter when
setting foot on foreign land. In New
York City, however, you need not worry
that you won’t be provided with the kind
of services you expect to receive. If
you’re the artsy type fond of bohemian
living then you’ll probably love to stay
in New York City’s Greenwich Village or
downtown Soho. If you’re a yuppy and
you’re attached to your PDA learning
about the stock market, then you’ll feel
right at home in New York City’s famous
Wall Street. If posh places however are
what takes your fancy then take a ride
to downtown Manhattan and see for
yourself what the Hilton or the Four
Seasons Hotel has to offer.
Dining : Whether it is sashimi, pesto
pasta, kimchi, shawarma or paella that
you’re looking for, trust me when I say
that New York City has everything that
your taste buds may want to savor.
Nightlife : The hottest places in the
U.S. can no doubt be found in New York
City. If you’re fond of star-gazing and
I’m not talking about those that you can
find in the sky, then definitely, New
York City is the place to be. Go club
hopping and rub elbows with the rich and
famous.
Tourist Spots : With so many points of
interest to visit in New York City, it’s
sometimes quite difficult to just know
where to start. But of course, we’ll try
our very best. A visit to New York City
wouldn’t be complete without touring the
following sites:
Empire State Building : Need I explain?
The Statue of Liberty : take a ferry
ride to this gigantic statue, a gift to
the United States from the French
government some centuries ago.
Madam Tussaud’s Wax Museum : now, now,
now, don’t you start believing that what
you saw in Paris Hilton’s House of Wax
is based on a true story. This
particular site was even featured in
Ripley’s because of the uncanny
resemblance of its…err…inhabitants.
World Trade Center : Now, I know that
technically speaking, this isn’t a happy
place but it would do all of us good to
pay our respects to the victims of the
September 11 bombing. This tragedy has
at least proved that the people of New
York City wouldn’t let any terrorist
attack faze them into cowering in
terror. Hail, hail New York City!
Now, remember that New York City, for
all its bright lights, can’t be compared
to a bed of roses. So take the necessary
precautions to avoid unnecessary
accidents. It’s also easy to get lost in
NYC so be sure that you always have a
map---and a cellphone
preferably---handy, just in case.
Happy sight-seeing!
