New York City is the largest city in the United States and one of the world’s most valuable and influential cities. A global center for international finance, communications, politics, fashion, music, film and culture. Not only is it home to many art galleries, museums and theaters, it also is the headquarters to numerous large corporations of the world. The United Nations has their headquarters in New York and consulates of many countries are located there.
If given a chance, everyone would definitely want to visit New York, the city that never sleeps. It certainly has everything you can ever wish for — nightlife that bursts with activity, beautiful sceneries, fine dining, and of course, the ultimate shopping experience.
If shopping is part of your itinerary, you will not be disappointed. New York is truly a shopping paradise, with the abundance of specialty stores that are well known not just in all of the United States but the whole world. High end stores featuring noted designers such as Armani and Abercrombie and Fitch, line up Fifth Avenue, the most expensive street in the world because it attracts the wealthy and the powerful. If you want to catch a celebrity shopping, this is the one place to be.
There’s also a place for the budget-conscious shoppers, of course, and surprisingly it’s just a few steps away. Feast on all things branded but which do not have to cost an arm and a leg.
In New York is also found the historical Statue of Liberty, one of the most highly regarded statues in the world as it symbolizes freedom and republicanism. The statue was given by France to America in 1886 in celebration of its 100th year of independence, and it now proudly stands to welcome people coming to New York.
Then of course, you should never miss The Empire State Building. Actually, you wouldn’t miss it all because it stands very tall and regal, a skyscraper, no less. For 40 years, it actually held the record as the tallest building in the world. It’s been constantly referred to as the eighth wonder of the world but not just because of its height. From the Empire State Building, you will get to have the most amazing views of New York. The 86th floor to be exact allows for a 360-degree view of the entire city. The building is always bustling with people, locals and tourists alike.
Another landmark in New York is Times Square. It’s so popular that it is often featured in older films shot in New York. The bright neon lights flashing in the night are definitely something that you should see and experience.
There are more to see and experience in New York. Be adventurous and dine in the city’s famous restaurants. Or take a walk along Central Park. If you can afford it, stay for a day or two in one of New York’s luxury hotels.
