The city has been written about and sung about, movies have been shot around its iconic landmarks and its unmistakable skyline and yet it loses nothing in terms of sheer fascination for the millions of visitors and tourists who throng its streets every year.
So if you too plan to drop by the Big Apple, make sure to visit:
Manhattan for its fantastic skyline and a glimpse of the Empire State Building, Rockerfeller Centre and Times Square.
Ellis Island for the Statue of Liberty, and while you’re at it the Staten Island Ferry.
Madison and Fifth avenue for the shopping.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and Broadway for some cultural stimulation.
