Welcome to New York City, the city that never sleeps. Last
time I was focused on events going on in Chicago, Illinois this time we are
traveling to the east coast. This is my favorite place and not only because I
was born here but because it is so lively, all the lights, the city noise and
the excitement all around. If this is your first time here I will guide you to
some places all tourists should visit.
1.
Statue of Liberty

| Statue of Liberty |
You can not come to New York and not visit the
Statue of Liberty. A little fun fact: The Statue of Liberty celebrates her
birthday on October 28th. It was meant to be! If you are currently
in the city or traveling towards it you came in the right time because we are
just a few days away from her birthday. Now I must warn you that when visiting
the statue you will have to climb 354 stairs to reach the crown, but let me
tell you it is definitely worth it. If you like to plan ahead and create an itinerary
or are interested in how much it is to go see this beauty I encourage you to visit
their website. Pose, take
pictures and wish her a happy birthday!
At 381 meters tall, this is one of the most
famous landmarks in New York City. With two observatories you can witness
what the city has to offer. The Empire State
Building has the 86th Floor Observatory which is an open-air
observation deck but if you aren’t afraid of heights go for the Top Deck on the
102nd Floor which is only 1,250 feet above ground, no biggie. The
thing I love most about the views is that you can see as far as 80 miles! That
means you are able to see neighboring states like New Jersey, Connecticut and
Pennsylvania. That’s a view you’ll never forget.
2.
Central Park
Central
Park is stunningly beautiful this time of year. The change of colors in the
leaves bring more life to the city. It can be such a romantic atmosphere or
you can enjoy it with friends and family. The cool thing about Central Park is
that there are experiences within itself. This includes a zoo, a lake to do
some peddling and Belvedere Castle. If that is not enough, Central Park also
hosts events! I recommend checking out the Halloween
Pumpkin Flotilla event on October 28, 2018. It is free so bring the family
and some carved out pumpkins so they can be displayed on the flotilla (a small
parade of Jack-O’-Lanterns).
