One of the largest cities in the world.......

If you think about visitng a place where you can spend the time with different kinds of activities it should be New York city. You ought to find a lot of things to do like cultural, nightlife, scenery, shopping, festivals, places with the best cuisine etc..
It is the largest city in The United State and the third largest in the world. There are eight millions people living in the city; and nineteen millions in all the metropolitan area. Can you imagine how crowdede it is? Well, that is why you never get bored there. This city is sometimes referred as " The city that never sleeps" or "The big apple"
The city consists of five districts called "boroughts" too. They are: The Bronx, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island.
This city has been welcomed to thousands of immigrants from all around the world. Since European discovered it in 1524. But, it was founded in 1624 as a Dutch trading post. Nowadays, N.Y. has over 40 million of local and foreign tourists , you may consider it as one of the top tourist destination in The U.S.A.
The most important places in order to be visited should be: Empire State Building. It rises 1,250 feet at the 102nd with 10 to 20 thousand visitors daily 20 thousand visitors daily.
It is located on fifth Av. It has been named by the American Society Civil Engineers as one of The seven Wonders of the modern world. Also it was ranke number one The List Favorite's Architecture according to the AIA.With the destruction of Trade World Center in September 11th 2001; The Empire State Building again became the tallest building in New York and the second in The United States.
It shoul be exciting at first sight!
The second most visited atraction in New York it is The Statue Of Liberty. The Statue Of Liberty it is considered as one of of the most important New York's landmarks. The Statue Of Liberty is located on a 12 acre island. It is 46 meters tall, but with the pedestal and the foundation, it is 93 meters tall. It was a gift from friendship to the people from France to the people of U.SA. Also it is a symbol of freedom and democracy.
I would imagine looking up that tall and beautiful lady made of pure copper. It shoul be an amazing experience!
Personally the next should be Central Park. It is one of the most beautiful and huge urban parks in the world. It is located in the borought of Manthattan with 845 acres. While much of the park looks natural, it is in fact almost entirely landscape. It contains several looking-natural lakes and ponds, extensive walking tracks (I would like to walk in this park with my dog one day), two ice- skating rings, the Central Park Zoo. Also, the Conservatory Garden, a large area of natural woods, etc.. I mean, what else would you like to look for in a park? I think it is an amazing and complete park ,which you can spend a very nice and fun day with your family.
Metropolitan Museum is a very interesting and cultural place that you should not miss in your visiting to Ney York. It was established in 1870 and it is located on 5th Avenue in Manthattan. It is one of the world's largest art galleries. The museum is also a home of more than two millions works of art, like paintings, sculptures, encyclopedic collections,etc.. divided into nineteen culatorian departments.
Rockefeller Center in another place you ought to visit, at least to see the modern architecture. It is a complex with 19 commercial buildings covering 22 acres. It is located on Midtown Manthattan. It was founded by Rockefeller's family in 1930. It has a lot of stores and theaters, also it is well known as the country's City Hall. Its ice-skating ring is very famous and it has bee included in some movies tracks. The best season for visiting New York should be on November throw December in order to see the amazing Chritsmas tree. It is usually 75 to 90 feet tall and has been put up since 1931. It has lit all Rockefeller Center every Chritsmas. It has became a tradition in this special plaza mall. It ought to be a beautiful view that makes you feel the Holly's spirit!
In fact, as you can see, I could not finish for a while talking about New York. There are a lot of sites for visiting, so that you can spend amazing choices for both daytime and nighttime amousement. Nevertheless, you have to be quiet careful there in order to keep in mind that it is also one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
That is why New York shoud be just for vacation!
