Some people have lived in NYC their whole lives and still haven't seen it all. Defined by its iconic skyline, New York City is home to more than 100 buildings measuring 500 feet or taller. While this immensity can be felt everywhere in NYC, it is best experienced from the observatories of the Empire State Building and the Rockefeller Center. Plan a visit to Times Square where, 24 hours a day, the bright lights, big screens and big crowds perfectly capture the excitement of the city. Be sure to dine at one of the popular eateries on Restaurant Row, and don't miss seeing the huge flagship shopping stores with their spectacular extras. And, of course, there is no live theatre like NYC's live theatre! Enjoy dramas, comedies or musicals in the City's Theatre District and experience the eye-popping sets, famous stars and excitement.
You can start your day in NYC with an authentic New York experience, buying a fresh-baked bagel in Greenwich Village. From there, you have a choice of limitless cuisine from almost every ethnic group imaginable, at prices that will fit every budget.
