Welcome to the
New York City Guide |
| |
| The purpose this website is to suggest some "must
see" sights and
tourist attractions for people to visit during their
stay in New York City. All these sights would be well known to New
Yorkers but not necessarily by those from out of town.
The streets of New York are mostly based on a grid
pattern, so finding your way around is not difficult, we would
advise that you invest in one of the
 small
"pop out" maps that are readily available. As for getting about,
there is of course the famous Yellow Taxis, but to really get the
atmosphere of New York City you could try the public transport
system. The subway is reasonably efficient and the routes and
stations will be marked on your map. There is also a good bus
service, but this might be slightly more difficult to get to grips
with first off. A "Metro" pre-paid card can be purchased as an
easy way to pay for your journeys. |
| |
| One very good way to get about is simply to walk.
Unlike other cities in the United States where the car is king, New
York and especially Manhattan Island is a walkers paradise, by all
means use public transport to get to the area you want but then just
walk and explore. |

|
 |
| |
| We have started with the obvious world famous
attractions such as the Statue of
Liberty and Ellis Island, and
everyone has heard of Times Square,
and no visit to New York would be complete without a visit to the
Empire State Building, but
for those visiting America for the first time, attractions
like Radio City, the
Rockefeller Center,
Grant's Tomb and the
Frick Collection, may not be
so well known, plus the fact that Grand
Central is not just another railway station. |
