New York Attractions
New York Attractions are more chershed and iconic than anywhere in the world. From the Manhattan skyline to The Statue of
Liberty, it's breath-taking to see those images you've seen so many, many times come to life right before your eyes.
The Statue of Liberty
Perhaps, in fact without question, unsurprisingly the no. 1 attraction is The Statue of Liberty. This structural piece of magnificence is the
most iconic piece of New York you'll find. It's official title is 'Liberty Enlightening The World' and was donated by the French in 1885. The
purpose of the donation was to celebrate the centenary of America's Declaration of Independence and to symbolize freedom. Situated at Liberty
Island, it greets wave after wave of visitors. Symbolizing freedom and independence, it's traits represent the constitution more than ay
other landmark. This is possibly and probably the most famous of New York attractions.
 
Empire State Building
The skyscraper to end al skyscrapers. Seen in numerous big-budget movies, one in particular coming to mind, ever since King Kong was seen
dangling Fay Wray above it, has this American Institution been loved and revered. It's views are paranomic and of breath-taking proportions.
You will see Manhattan like from no other building. There are also restaraunts, shops and even a virtual-reality movie theater.
Times Square
More of a disrict than a square, this is still right up there, on or either near the top of many people's lists of things to do. Before 1904,
it was called Longacre Square before being occupied by The New York Times Company. Post 1907, it began it's reputation for it's huge Near
Year Celebrations.
Central Park
Never one to be a typical park, it may have been just in it's negative reputation over the years, but more than just being able to walk
through here, you can even view concerts in this, the most popular of all US parks. There are also skating rinks, a zoo and several lakes.
All in all, Central Park remains one of the most renowned and enjoyable New York attractions.
