Central Park in 1963

Central Park in 1963

Werner Ruckelshausen

New York is loaded with things to do and there is something to discover for everyone in this marvelous city! New York activities are educational, exciting, unique, and unforgettable all rolled up into one. You can follow up American history while visiting the first landmarks of the arrival of the immigrants; you can enjoy the stunning art collections of the world-famous museums or take a stroll through Central Park, followed by lunch or dinner at an authentic New York restaurant.

During the early evening hours, you can grab a drink at the lounge in your New York hotel before heading out to one of the many nightclubs, bars or pubs New York City has to offer. At night, you will find out for yourself what this "never sleeping city" (according to Frank Sinatra) has in store. It is important to note that the time required by each attraction or New York activity will vary from 20 minutes to several hours or more depending on your interests. Check your New York travel guide for admission prices, as most places will charge a fee for entry.

Union Square Park

Edit This

Here's a delightful place to spend an afternoon. Reclaimed from drug dealers and abject ruin in the late '80s, Union Square Park is now one of the city's best assets. The seemingly endless subway work should no longer be disturbing the peace by the time you're here. This patch of green remains, with or without the construction, the focal point of the newly fashionable Flatiron and Gramercy Park neighborhoods. Don't miss the grand equestrian statue of George Washington at the south end or the bronze statue (by Bartholdi, the sculptor of the Statue of Liberty) of the marquis de more..
