The Best of New York City
We had a few days left before we flew back home, so we decided to see the sights of the best city in the world – New York.
If you haven’t been to New York, here are some handy tips about seeing New York. View New York from the top of buildings. We recommend the top of the Rockefeller located on 49th Street between 5th and 6th Avenue. Go ahead a do the usual sights, such as Times Square, but be prepared that it is a very busy and do go see the Statue of Liberty (that’s busy too).
Now, for the places that are off the beaten track, we recommend the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, it has the best Japanese garden besides Japan, and it also is close to Prospect Park, which is Brooklyn’s answer to Central Park. Of course, the best time to see these sites is either in Spring or in Autumn, any other time it will be horribly hot or terribly cold.
New York City has the best restaurants you could ever hope for, we found a place in the Tribeca neighborhood called Ninja, it’s very expensive, but we really do highly recommend it. The cuisine is Japanese and the food is excellent. For something less expensive, we found a place in Queens called Astoria. This restaurant was great for being in a melting pot culturally speaking and the food is fantastic.
For great places to have a drink, we went outside Manhattan into Brooklyn’s neighborhood of Williamsburg. You can get there by jumping on the L train and get off at the first stop in Brooklyn called Bedford Avenue. There are literally hundreds of really cool bars, so the only problem you’ll have is choosing which one to go into.
If you’re in New York on a Wednesday evening, check out the Apollo Theater in Harlem. Wednesday night is amateur night at the Apollo. It’s so fun and fantastic. You can get drinks there and boo off anyone you don’t like.
New York is really the best city in the whole world and it has something to offer any day of the week and at any time of the day. It’s definitely a must for any serious traveler
