The Guide to the Perfect New York Vacation

For those people that think they can visit the top American city for a long weekend, think again, as you will be hard pushed to see everything it has to offer in seven days in New York. Of course the first port of call should really be the Empire State Building, especially a trip to the eighty sixth floor. Some people swear that it is better to visit the top floor of the Rockefeller Center but you really do need a clear day to fully appreciate the view. Tour boats can take visitors out to see the big lady ‘The Statue of Liberty’ but be prepared for long delays these days; the view of her from Ellis Island is an option worth considering.

An easier option is to take the Staten Island ferry which doesn’t cost anything and can still give a first class view of the Statue of Liberty; this is also a great place to spend some time enjoying the talents of local (almost professional) street entertainers. While you are on a seven day visit to New York New York a trip to the area where the Twin Towers used to stand has become something that every person who visits this great city must do.

While there is a strange eeriness about the place that is larger than you expect at the same time it does not feel as if it needs to be photographed. For those who love to shop there is of course the famous Tiffany’s and Broadway plus some fantastic old discount warehouses worth a look down on the Lower East Side.

If you’re up for more discount shopping then you need to get to Maceys and have your tourist discount card handy as it can save you eleven percent after which a trip to Bloomingdales would be in order. The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum will also be worth visiting late next year when it re-opens after a period of refurbishment; this attraction is highly recommended and worth putting on your list of places to visit. Many special (and large) craft are located here including a number from World War II, namely the aircraft carrier the USS Intrepid. Although it is actually free to enter, the NY City Police Museum is funded by donations from visitors (five dollars is the recommended amount); it contains a great deal of information about the World famous Police Department and you can buy souvenirs too.

The Lower East Side also has a very large time capsule called The Lower East There is more history in the City of New York Museum on Central Park which holds exhibitions of the past, present and future. More can be learned about the city’s past in this grand building and although once again admission is free, a donation of 9 dollars is advised. For such a large vibrant city, seven days in New York should be viewed as minimum if most of the major attractions are to be seen comfortably and not as part of a ‘whistle stop’ tour.
