Top 15 Things To Do In New York
What to do in New York?
11 (52) Ground Zero – World Trade Center Site
You can explore the history of the World Trade Center and glimpse
its future development. The World's largest financial center and
office complex came to symbolize the wealth and power of the world's
financial capital that fell victim to a brutal terrorist attack
on 9/11/2001.
World Trade Center was created from the vision of, and financed
by, the powerful Rockefeller family. At Ground Zero you can learn
about the origins of the World Trade Center and its history before
the tragic events of 9/11. Out of this horrendous event came uplifting
stories of heroes such as Rick Rescorla, Willie Rodriguez, and Pat
Tillman. Learn about the lives that they led before 9/11. Learn
of the future plans for the World Trade Center site and how it will
memorialize the sacrifice of the these heroes.
If you can you should also visit the WTC Tribute Center.
12 (9) Times Square
Theatre Square, Neon Square, or Peoples Square might
be more appropriate name but Times Square, in the heart of the Theatre
District, is world famous so why change a successful brand. Besides,
the New York Times would not forgive us.
A "must see" Times Square is a unique happening
kind of place except,...not much really happens. The towering, animated
neon signs that light up and flash are a must see but once seen
you soon start to see you are in trap - a tourist trap. You can
take great pictures of policeman, people and see the city light
show. Times Square screams New York New York! except it’s
full of visitors so the locals struggle to make it in.
Tourist trap is apt as it is hard to escape through the crowds.
If there was no have-to to it then you probably wouldn't. Maybe
that is unfair. There are big buildings with big stores to visit,
lots of pretty quick food outlets, noise, NYPD, and of course those
Neon lights.
Bus Tour of New York including Times Square
 Get
onboard and see New York
Good starting point to see New York particularly if you don't have
much time. From Times Square to the Statue of Liberty, from the
Empire State Building to Harlem, enjoy exciting attractions with
unlimited hop-on and hop-off opportunities. Create your own way
to see New York. Valid for 48 hours your ticket includes the Uptown
Loop, the Downtown Loop, the Brooklyn Loop (trolley), and the spectacular
Night Tour (not hop-on and hop- off)!
You would be hop-in mad not to hop on a Deluxe
Double Decker Bus. (See Bus Tour Packages).
13 (56) Wall Street
Wall Street shuffles from Broadway to South Street on the East
River in lower Manhattan. Wall Street is the main artery of the
financial heart of New York and home to the New York Stock Exchange
[No. 11] and NASDAQ.
When Manhattan was Dutch and liked to be known as New Amsterdam,
a 2,340 foot fortified wall was erected from the East River to the
Hudson River. The wall was intended to keep the British out. Today
the wall is sadly gone and the British are in, in that is up to
their necks in financial woe.

14 (11) St. Patrick's Cathedral
 St
Patricks - a stunner of a building
Beautiful. It is just a beautiful building both inside
and out. Though Saint Patrick's was built in Gothic style, its design
is original and distinct. St Pats full name is the Cathedral of
Saint Patrick. You will find it located on Fifth Avenue between
50th and 51st Streets in New York City. The Cathedral is the largest
gothic-style Catholic Cathedral in the United States.
You don't need to be Catholic to appreciate Saint
Pats but you might become one if you spend too much time there.
It is a truly peaceful place. A place of immense beauty in both
its design and feel. Visit during day light to fully appreciate
the architecture and stained glass.
15 (10) Greenwich Village (The Village)
Greenwich Village is loved and famed by TV series
such as Sex in the City. Beautiful tree lined streets, elegant houses,
outdoor sidewalk cafés and restaurants doesn't fully explain
Greenwich Village's magnetism.
Maybe The Village's major appeal is more personal.
If you have an interest in people you should enjoy spending time
here. The cafes, restaurants and bars have made Greenwich Village
a major contributor to Manhattan's social scene. At the heart of
this is New York University and Washington Square Park with its
Memorial Arch, street art, buskers and people watchers. The nearby
Meatpacking District continues the theme but with its own brand
of cafes, restaurants and nightlife.
