I Love My New York City

New York is a city that has something to offer everyone. It has famous theatres on Broadway, fabulous designer shopping on Fifth Avenue, world-renowned art galleries and museums, landmarks such as Central Park, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Empire State building and Statue of Liberty that are recognised around the world.

If you have preconceived ideas about the Big Apple, then leave them at immigration, because this city has something to offer everyone. More than one and a half million people live on the 23 square mile space that is Manhattan Island, so to get the best feel for New York you should explore it on foot.

Start at the top of Fifth Avenue where you will feel like a movie start because this long street has been centre stage in hundreds of Hollywood movies and TV shows. From the Museum of Modern Art to the Rockafella centre, you can spend a few days just visiting the sites on this street alone. It is also famous for its high-street and designer shopping including stores such as the NBA store, the giant glass box that is the Apple store and FAO Schwarz used in the film ‘Big'.

For theatres head to Midtown where you will find the hectic part of town that is Broadway. This part of the city is best seen at night when the neon signs transform it into a mini Las Vegas.

For more bright lights, Times' Square, is also best viewed after dark. Standing at the most famous junction in the world you really feel that you're in a movie and New York‘s magic starts to take hold.

Heading on down, you will get to the art-deco Empire State building. This tower was the first of its kind in the world and the view from the top is still impressive. Night-time viewings are a favourite as you can see the lights of all five New York City boroughs.

The remarkably quiet Ground Zero memorial has become a popular site to see whilst in New York. It is also a great lunch spot and will give you a chance to reflect on a city that has seen so much.

For urban cool wander the streets of the Greenwich and Soho district. This style-conscious area of NYC is great for shopping, having a coffee and partying in chic clubs until 5am.
