Ive always wanted to go to new york and visit how is it??

Answer 1

I live there and LOVE IT. For tourist stuff...
First, get a good tour map. Then I recommend you take the BIG APPLE double decker tour bus for an overview of the city. There are several different neighborhoods so I'll highlight these and what to see:
Upper East Side: Metropolitan Museum of Art, Guggenheim, Whitney Museum. Walk up and down Madison Avenue for awesome shops and boutiques 96th - 57th st. Walk Park Avenue for architecture all the way to Grand Central Terminal and see the treasures located within. Walk along 5th Avenue to see/go in and out of Central Park - go for a run, go to the Central Park Zoo, go to the Carousel, go for a gondola ride at the boat house.
UPPER WEST SIDE:
Museum of Natural History -a must! on Central Park West,
Walk along Columbus Avenue. Visit the West side of Central Park and pay respects to John Lennon's Strawberry Fields.
MIDTOWN:
Shopping - 57th St (Chanel and the gang), Fifth Avenue - must see Henri Bendel, Bergdorf Goodman, Saks and FAO Schwartz - many other fun stores.
St. Patrick's Cathedral
Museum of Modern Art
Sony Bldg
Rockefeller Center
Go west to awesome new Time Warner center and visit the new Mandarin Hotel bar/restaurant for awesome view and treats!
Oh, Bloomingdale's is on 59th St and Lexington.
Empire State Bldg.
The Intrepid Aircraft Museum is fascinating and on the West side...worth the visit even if you have no kids.

CHELSEA:
Walk around the blooming area sprouting awesome restaurants and shops. Chelsea Pier is fun.

WALL ST:
Pay respects to the 9/11 victims and heroes at the WTC site., Walk Wall St., visit the Chase Hdqtrs, Federal Reserve. Seaport area is great to see.

THE VILLAGE:
Funky shops in the West Village. Walk through the NYU Washington Square Park. The East Village has some shops from new artists and designers

SOHO:
Great galleries and shops on n off West Broadway. Walk thru to Little Italy for awesome meals and desserts...walk through Chinatown. CANAL STREET has stall after stall of Designer "copies"...bring cash and bargain and watch your purse!

These should put an awesome smile on your face. Bring your camera and takes lots of photos to remember your trip. If you dont want to be touristy go downtown and get lost there.

Answer 2

I was born in New York City and although I no longer live there I visit every opportunity I get. I have been to many cities in the world and nothing, in my humble opinion, compares to New York City. There is so much to do and see that even people who have lived there since birth haven't experienced all that it has to offer. If it is your first time there I would suggest taking a few neighborhood tours which are relatively inexpensive and a few are free. Some of the best restaurants in the world are here but the neighborhood establishments that cater to residents are really good and much more affordable, but if you want to treat yourself to a big name restaurant I suggest you do so at lunch when prices are usually lower. If there is a specific Broadway show you want to see by all means get tickets ahead of time but if you just want to see a show you can get reduced price seats at the TKTS booth located in Times Square, just plan to get there early for the best selection. If museums are your thing, then you have so many choices but if you really want to experience one of the larger ones such as the Museum of Natural History or the Metropolitan Museum of Art plan to spend the whole day there as there is much to see. I could go on and on but I truly feel every American should experience New York City at least once in their lifetime.

Answer 4

I love New York. I can't tell you how times I've visited there. Upstate and Long Island, and of coarse Manhattan Jones Beach needs cleaning up. Fire Island, is different too. But going back east to visit is never disappointing. The best pizza, well, I'll stop here, other wise I'll get home away from home sick.

Answer 5

To big to see in one visit. You can go back as many times as you want and always see something different. Have fun.

Answer 6

Its a great town, you'd enjoy it. It is noisy and expensive, it could be cleaner, but it is real exciting, there's lots of shows and museums and restaurants and archetecture and shopping, it is great! Go, you will love it! And as a Californian, I think New Yorkers are friendly, nice people in general, with some exceptions of course.
