Sights & Attractions in New York in general

I had the fortune to visit New York in early September 2008, just before the dollar slid from highs of $2 to £1. I stayed for 4 nights, and was lucky enough to take in a lot of New York whilst I was there. ***The Empire State Building*** We arrived from Boston in the evening, and headed straight for dinner in Times Square (HardRock Cafe) and then onto the Empire State Building. We bought an excellent 'CityPass' booklet, (www.citypass.com) which cost £40 and includes admission into six attractions: Empire State Building, American Museum of Natural History, Guggenheim, Museum of Modern Art, Metropolitan Museum, & Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island. ...  Read the complete review

New York is definitely the place for sightseeing. There are so many places that you have seen on TV or in the movies that, if you're anything like me, you are dying to see in "real life". We went for ten days so managed to pack in quite a lot of sightseeing so rather than boring you with every single thing we saw, I'll just give you my top ten must sees. *Please note* I was eight months pregnant when I went, so some attractions like skating at Rockefellar Centre we didn't get to experience, so I apologise for not being able to give an opinion on those. 10) Museum of Natural History Located just down the street from our ...  Read the complete review

New York is one of my favourite places in the world to visit, and already I am looking forward to my next visit. There is so much to see & do in this city, but the first thing that strikes you as you arrive is that it immediately feels familiar - obviously the city has featured so many films & TV series over the years but it really is just as you imagine it will be, even down to the smoking manhole covers! For sightseeing my number one recommendation would be the Top of the Rock experience at the Rockefeller Center - the views of Manhatten are amazing & it's really good value for money, with hardly any waiting involved.

New York is packed with sights and attractions to keep anyone busy during a stay there. The first thing I would recommend you to buy on a trip to New York is the New York Visitor Pass. This can be purchased from most of the attractions and is available as a 1 day, 2 day. 3 day or seven day pass. I would recommend going for the 2 day pass minimum as there is a lot to get around and this gives you time to see everything you have a free entry into. The way the pass works is that you pay one fee ($89 for a 2 day adult pass) and you get 'free' entry then to over 40 attractions. When you think that the Empire State Building alone is $18.00 per adult then you will soon ...  Read the complete review

Friends, Sex and the City both of those shows have a lot to answer for as it led to me really craving to visit the city that never sleeps, New York. For years I wanted to go stateside and experience all the fun things that I saw glimpses on when I watched programmes and films based in New York and for my 21st Birthday 5 years ago I had my first visit and since then I have not stopped going back it is a great city and somewhere you should definately see before you die. There is so much to see in New York it is a difficult place to write about with so much crammed into such a small place this review could go on forever, however I will try and ...  Read the complete review
