Something For Everyone, New York Attractions
According to several sources, New York attractions are one of the biggest destinations for vacationers again this year. Many years in a row this city has brought families and couples from all over the United States and the world to its big buildings, Broadway shows, museums and statues. There is something for everyone to see and do in the Big Apple.
Everyone who visits the city should go see one of the largest buildings in the world, the Empire State Building. For security purposes, those who are not going to climb the stairs or ride the elevators or escalators need to exit the building or go in one of the many shops at the bottom. There are several different little stores surrounding the bottom of the building that people frequent while they are waiting for the rest of their party to descend from the building in the clouds. The view from the top is magnificent and some people say they can feel a slight swaying in the building if they are standing very still.
Possible one of the most photographed and most famous parts of the city is Times Square. It has been featured in hundreds of movies and television shows. Everyone is familiar with the large teletron video screen and all the advertisements in addition to the decorative red wire fence down the middle of the street. There are many people and things to do and see in this center of the city. Probably seeing a show, shopping or eating is the most popular activities in this area.
After a Broadway show, unlike a movie, a family could stand at the stage door on the side of the building and wait for their favorite actor or actress to come out and they could ask for their autograph. The Broadway shows are like nothing else if one has never seen them. Live performances are so much better than a screen and tape. There are so many different kinds of plays, musicals and dramas that make a person think.
One of the better tours that people should not miss is the Ellis Island tour. There is a boat that brings people out to the island and then many special, knowledgeable guides that will take people on tours of the buildings where some of their family might have first entered the United States. It is a touching tribute to those people who come to our country now for a better life and don’t know the customs or speak the language yet.
The great Niagara Falls is not within walking distance, one must drive a short distance outside of the city to get there but it is worth the trouble. It is a beautiful waterfall and there are plenty of rain-ponchos on hand so no one will get wet. Pictures taken at the falls often feature a rainbow and sometimes a wedding or two is taking place depending on the day. A small boat will take tours of people up to the falls at the bottom and then they could walk behind the falls for a little ways. There is a view from the top of the falls and one from the bottom of the falls. There is also a souvenir shop.
One of the most famous ladies in America is in the harbor of this big city, the Statue of Liberty. A lot of people like to see her from the sky in a helicopter and they could also view many of the other places and the skyline. Many of the statues levels are closed to the public for safety reasons; however there are some that remain open for a nice view of the city.
Another of the ‘must-see’ places in the list of New York Attractions is Ground Zero where on September 11, 2001; this nation suffered its worst terrorist attack. There is building going on there now and a permanent memorial is there but people still bring small flags, teddy bears and notes and balloons for those who perished that day. People want to show the ones that died that they are not forgotten and that they are still cared about.
