Half Red Brick And Half Paint

If you decide to spend a week wandering through the Big Apple is the program for you!
7 days to discover the city of New York, what to see and do, but without any reference to where to eat .... and you know why?

Why NYC is the city more high density of restaurants / fast food / pubs / cafes in the world, and you'll be spoiled for choice, finding delicious cafes on every corner. Why it pays to eat just because it's nice to choose the moment, because the ethnic food is exceptional ... and that is incredibly American "Yankees"!
That said ... let's start with the discovery of the bright lights of New York!

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (half day)

And 'a must for a ride on the boat that leaves from New York and goes on both islands.
The museum at Ellis Island is very beautiful, you seem to live again the sacrifice that millions of immigrants have faced in the hope of a better life.
E 'exciting, a blast from the past, it is worth taking the audio tour.
The Statue of Liberty also has a museum on the history that led to its construction.
You can walk up to the summit. I arrived only on the first floor ...

Financial District (walking)
Wall Street and Battery Park

Be sure to pass, to see where that is the financial wealth of the planet (or perhaps where it was ?!?!).
There is a statue of the Bull, symbol of the bag, the New York Stock Exchange, and opposite the old cathedral of St. Patrick. And then ... lunch at the hot dog stand. ... That is also very "newyorkstyle.

Ground Zero (2 hours)

to see glimpse of the majesty of the twin towers before 11 September 2001 that occupied the space where there is now a construction site is always open.
There is also a museum - memorial ... a lot of impact ...
The images are unique in the world. There are many pictures of the morning of September 11, but after three weeks, it was not possible introduce cameras at Ground Zero, which is why they are unique. All photos were taken by Gary Marlon Suson, an honorary chief of the battalion's fire station in New York.
Attractions.

Top of the Rock (3 hours, including the sunset)

not climb the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center to go instead, until you reach the top Top of the Rock viewing platform located 70 stories above aa Midtown.
It 's a great place to admire the city, with a splendid view of Central Park to the north and to the Empire State Building to the south is much better and the observatory of that Empire, because it is less crowded, and because only here you can admire the great void of Central Park with luxurious buildings around.
Climb in the late afternoon, so you can watch the sunset: WONDERFUL!

And now we come to visit the city proper.
New York is made up of many neighborhoods, each with its own peculiarities.
Here you decide what to do and which neighborhoods to visit, based on your personal taste!

Midtown Manhattan (one afternoon and evening)
Madison Square Garden, Broadway, Times Square in Midtown

Central Park (one day)

What about the most celebrated national park the world? Which is exactly as you imagine, a great, green (white maybe in December!) And full of New Yorkers who walk, do sports, play, dance, eat and have fun!
Touring it all in one day ... but it is difficult to walk for a couple of hours is relaxing, including trails, bars and pools.

Brooklyn (one night)

I walked across the bridge, but not quite a walk!
In any case it is a young and curious neighborhood, say "cool" at this moment, full of cafes and low houses.
least Worth a visit!

Harlem (Sunday morning)

You must not miss putting Harlem gospel in Abyssinian Baptist Church.
The row will be long hours, but the show will pay for everything.
Dressed in a consonant, because they are very strict.
The air conditioning is always a ball, wear a jacket even in August!
Mass lasts about 2 hours.

Long Island (half day)

If you want to see a piece of ocean, which is the beach of New Yorkers, and the wonderful holiday villas of the upper middle class take a trip to Long Island, but I think maybe the period is the least suitable

... Oh, the ocean is always the ocean!
arrive at Jamaica Station in meters, and then a train to Long Island.

Metropolitan (a day)

The Met will visit at least one day! The museum, like all American museums, does not know of old. It 'a space airy, modern and never boring, built just to house works of art.

E 'immense, and we must move with the map. Council to take an audio guide, and linger in the areas of most interest, because it all in one day is impossible.
Do not miss the gallery of contemporary art and the part Egyptian.
E 'is open every day except Monday .
The ticket includes entry to the main building and The Cloisters in the same day.
