Three Days in New York City

Assalamualaikum , 

Okay it's my turn to update this "interesting nature tourism place around the world". The most important is I'm really SORRY because late to update this but now I want to share "How To Spend Three Days in New York City". I hope with this info you will know where to spend your time and you will enjoy it ! :)


First I will introduce you about NYC or New York City :-


     The "Big Apple," the "City That Never Sleeps"—New York is a city of superlatives: America's biggest; its most exciting; its business and cultural capitals; the nation's trendsetter. The city seems to pull in the best and the brightest from every corner of the country. The city's ethnic flavor has been nuanced by decades of immigrants whose first glimpse of America was the Statue of Liberty guarding New York Harbor and by large expatriate communities such as the United Nations headquartered there. Just minutes from the multimillion-dollar two-bedroom co-op apartments of Park Avenue, though, lies some of the most dire urban poverty in America. But the attendant crime that affects New Yorkers and visitors alike has seen a continued dramatic reduction from 1993 to 2004—NYC has a murder rate half that of cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago, in part as the result of a concerted effort by local agencies. But for all its eight million residents, New York remains a city of neighborhoods, whether it's avant-garde Greenwich Village, bustling Harlem, the ultra-sophisticated TriBeCa, or one of the ethnic enclaves such as Little Italy or Chinatown. And a cleaner, brighter, safer New York is attracting people from around the world who are coming to enjoy the city's renaissance.

Okay , Start our Tour ! ^_^


DAY 1

  • Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island

Though the line is really long, if you get here early, you can avoid most of it. (Come late, and you’ll have to wait a few hours.) The Statue of Liberty is interesting to see, but the real highlight is Ellis Island, where you can learn about the immigrant experience coming to the US. If the line’s too long, take the free Staten Island ferry for photos of the statue.

  • BATERRY PARK
 Battery Park is awesome in New York City

Hang out here for music performances, street performers, to people watch, or just to relax. It’s a large and hectic park but a great place to just sit and rest for a bit.

  •  Wall Street

Take a look at the bull, get your photo taken, and then walk to Wall Street and see where bankers destroyed the economy. You often hear people demanding their money back!


  •  CITY HALL
City hall plaza is a must-see on a trip to New York City

New York’s City Hall is a great piece of architecture and has a stunning park, a fountain, and a circular tablet about the site’s history.


  • BROOKLYN BRIDGE

Right near City Hall, the Brooklyn Bridge is an easy 25-minute walk if you don’t stop. Stopping to take photos and meander will make the walk about 40 minutes. You get a lot of great views of the city from the bridge.


DAY 2


  •  EMPIRE STATE BUILDIING
Empire State Building lobby is a great place to go on a trip to NYC

This historic building is a landmark in New York City. The 1930s art deco interior is beautiful, and the view from the top is breathtaking. You can get a real feel for how densely populated New York is. Get there early or during lunchtime to avoid the lines.


  •  Grand Central Station
Grand Central Station's main terminal cannot be missed in New York City

Grand Central Station is the city’s historic train station. It was going to be torn down but was saved by Jacqueline Kennedy, who raised money for its preservation. There are free tours on Wednesdays.


  •  Rockefeller Center
Rockefeller Center's statue is an icon of NYC
his area is always filled with hustle and bustle. Wander around Rockefeller Center to eat good food, see where they film The Today Show, and take the elevator to the “top of the rock” for another bird’s-eye view of the city.


  •  Times Square
Times Square is a must-see on a trip to New York City

The lights of Times Square are mesmerizing. No matter when you come here, it will always be packed. During the summer, there are pedestrian areas where you can sit and hang out. If you aren’t shopping or eating, there isn’t much to do, but it’s still a fabulous place to people watch.


  •  Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)
 http://www.e-architect.co.uk/images/jpgs/new_york/moma_building_amcrmar07_27.jpg

 After lunch, head over to the MoMA for lots of beautiful modern art, some weird modern art, and some great impressionist art. Van Gogh’s Starry Night is here. On Fridays after 4pm, the museum is free.


  •  High Line
 The Highline Park in the Meatpacking District is a great way to spend a beautiful day in NYC

 The High Line is a converted train track that is now an urban walking park. It goes from 22nd street down to the Meatpacking District. After a few drinks at The Frying Pan, head down to the Meatpacking District for dinner by walking through the High Line. Or sit down, relax, and watch the traffic go by from the viewing area on 16th Street.


 DAY 3

  •  Central Park
 Central Park is a must-see on a trip to New York City

 A great way to relax in the city and leave the crowds behind is to spend the day in Central Park. It’s free, there are lots of little paths to walk, and since it covers over 40 blocks, it’s easy to spend hours wandering around. During the summer months, there are often free concerts and theater productions in the park too.



  •  The Metropolitan Museum of Art
 The Metropolitan Museum of Art is a must-see on a trip to New York City

 The Met is one of the biggest museums in the world and, if you only see one museum in New York, I would recommend this one. They have a wide array of art, historical artifacts, photography, and other exhibits. There’s even a real Egyptian tomb in here. There’s a lot to see here, so budget a lot of time—a few hours doesn’t do this place justice.


  •  American Museum of Natural History
 American Museum of Natural History is one of the best museums in NYC

 Made even more famous by the Night at the Museum movies, this museum also requires a lot of time. The exhibits are interesting and detailed, so I wouldn’t try to rush it. You’ll learn a lot about nature and human society. I particularly like the exhibit on the origin of humans as well as the section on space.


  •  Broadway show
 The TKTS ticket office in Times Square, NYC

 You can’t go to New York City, the theater capital of the world, without seeing a show. Current highlights include: Wicked, Avenue Q, Memphis, The Lion King, Mamma Mia, and American Idiot.



 Okay that's all from me for this time , THANK YOU for reading ! hehe ^_~)/
