New York, new shoes

You can amuse yourself in New York forever. Once you have done the tourist attractions, wandered the museums, shopped till you dropped, and seen the shows, it is still a wonderful city to just take a stroll in and soak up the atmosphere. There is so much character in the streets, the buildings and the people that each new neighbourhood brings with it a fresh discovery.

Best Way To Get Around:

Once you get used to the street numbering system, the city is quite easy to navigate. The subway can be a bit confusing, but unless you can splash out on cabs, it is the best way to get around.

This symbol of freedom and token of the American dream watches over the city of New York and is one of the most visited attractions anywhere in the world. Since 9/11, visitors are unable to climb to the top of the figure but can still walk around her perimeter. The most impressive view, however, is from the ferry as you sail across the harbour. She stands resplendent and unlike so many landmarks is still as impressive as you imagine her to be. If you don’t want to pay for the boat, which also allows you to get off at Ellis Island, you can take the Staten Island ferry, which is free.
