You know that the present-day New York turns into a dream city for millions of tourists. So, why not to visit it? The hot spring of creativity and brainstorming, innovation and inspiration, romance and a good sense of humor, the ‘Big Apple’ or the ‘City That Never Sleeps’, as it is called by local people, attracts curious tourists from all over the globe. As Gerard Kenny, a famous American singer, once said, “New York, New York is so good they named it twice.”
If you go to New York for the first time, the primary thing you could do is to join thousands of talented people from all around the world, including artists, writers, poets, singers, and musicians, who try to visit, at least, one Broadway show. Broadway has a lot of outstanding theater arenas for bright and dazzling live performances. Therefore, if you plan to see some smash hit show on the most famous Manhattan`s street, you could book a pair tickets in advance. You will never regret it.
If you are a business person, the best place for you to see is the NYSE, New York Stock Exchange, located on Wall Street 11, where bulls make money, bears make money and hogs go broke. Though tourists are not permitted to go inside, while going to 9/11 Memorial and the Federal Reserve building, you could touch the bronze bull monument with your own hands. The Manhattan legend says that after such trick your business will start flourishing right after the arrival to your native city.
If you want to feel the spirit of the true American urban night, the New York streets covered with squares of neon flame will fill your soul with unforgettable memories. Hundreds of high-class restaurants with French, Italian, Chinese and Arabic cuisine will mesmerize you with their sparkling multicolored signboards. For those who seek to try out McCoy American Food, Mastro`s Steakhouse is an excellent place. Its steaks with spinach, truffles, and fries, not speaking about lamb racks, are respected by all New Yorkers. The Capital Grille restaurant is famous for its American seafood dishes. Its lobster and crab cake, as well as its fried calamari and cold shellfish, are acknowledged as the best by numerous gourmets in the whole New York area. Jacob`s Pickles restaurant with its New York cuisine is also an excellent place for foreign tourists.
While visiting dozens of the must-see New York attraction, including the glorious Statue of Liberty and the impressive Empire State Building, the splendid Chrysler Building and the magnificent Central park, One World Trade Center and incredible Niagara Falls and others, you should not forget about specific New York sense of humor. The city where jaywalking is legal and flirting is illegal, where swimming is legal and eating while swimming is illegal, where walking backwards at shows is illegal, and walking in slippers is legal till 10 P.M., – such city could make you laugh, on the one hand, and surprise you, on the other hand, in the most unexpected moment. In any case New York is friendly towards foreigners. New Yorkers like to talk to tourists, showing, in such a way, their good mood and friendly attitude.
