New York is probably one of the most interesting cities in the world. It has
something to offer to everybody. If you are looking for culture you make the
right choice visiting one of the hundreds great museums in the city. If you want
night-life: you are probably right in one of the famous clubs and discotheques
of the city. Or if you just want relaxing holidays you better go to one of the
famous parks N.Y. has to offer I would recommend you to see Brooklyn Bridge if
you are interested in great engineering work. The Brooklyn Bridge is located
across from City Hall Park. It is one of the great engineering milestones of the
19th century. Overlooking the East River, this historic crossing divides
Manhattan and Brooklyn. Visitors are able to walk across the bridge for an
excellent view of lower Manhattan, and there is a path for pedestrians and
bicyclists that allows a contrasting view of the two boroughs. When the Brooklyn
Bridge opened in 1883 after 16 years of construction, it linked the two
independent cities of New York City to Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge was the
first suspension bridge build with steel. N.Y. is also famous for hosting the
UNO nations headquarter (like vienna does, too) The buildings and grounds
contain sculpture and other works of art donated by member nations. Here, in the
Parliament of Man, history is made as representatives of member nations work to
resolve international problems. A limited number of free tickets is available on
a first-come, first-served basis, for meetings of the General Assembly and
Councils, when in session, shortly before meeting times, 10:30am-3:30pm. You can
fulfill almost all your needs from high culture to wilderness inside the city
limits, but if you are determined to see the surrounding areas, here are a few
ideas for day trips out of the city. There are some good beaches near New York
and it's possible to get to them for a day trip. Coney Island is the nearest,
you can get there on the subway but I wouldn't swim there because the water is
pretty dirty as they say. A better bet is to check with the Long Island Railroad
and inquire about their special beach packages which are available in June,
July, and August.. For instance, you can get a round trip ticket to Long Beach
on Long Island and a pass to use the beach for the day for about $12. Princeton
University: One of the most respected Universities in the U.S. and also one of
the prettiest, Princeton is about an hour from New York by train and a little
more by bus The Hudson River valley, north of New York City is very picturesque
and even produced its own style of landscape painting, the Hudson River school.
The town of Cold Spring is a small riverside community with small restaurants
and antique shops with a dramatic view across the river. It's especially
attractive during fall foliage season. As you can see New York offers something
for everybody. If I would have the possibility I wouldn’t think twice and take
the next plane directly to this amazing interessting city.
