New York destination reviews
Roger Balmer has been in New York
I just returned this march from 5 days in Manhattan New York. As a frequent traveller to the USA, I always thought I wouldn't miss anything, if I never saw New York. Well I was wrong.
I read alot about the costs of Taxi Transfers from JFK to Manhattan. I payed USD 35, the price for any transfer from JFK to Manhattan, which in my eyes, is more then good.
As of what I knew about New York, I was worried about the danger of the city. I have to say, the city is safe. Those who might get in troubles as tourists, might have forced it. I was strolling through Central Park in the early morning, starting at 6am. There was no danger at all. The views that the little lakes in Central Park offer as mirrored skyline are amazing. If you want good mirror-like pictures, check it out.
If you are looking for a good view of New York, the Empire State Building sure serves all your needs. Be aware of the Security Check to get on top. Respect it. Fact september 11th made New York security check more then you might expect. But the view you get, is just georgeous.
If you have no problems walking your feet off, simply stroll down broadway, till you reach the State of Liberty Fairy. A short visit to the State of Liberty Island is a must. If weather is good, you get a nice view of the Skyline of New York from the waterside, meaning the Islandside.
At nights, you shouldn't miss strolling along Times Square. The Advertising professionalism is amazing. I had to take pictures of hotels. Sometimes I was impressed, that it was hard to find them, as the placement of the Advertising rather catches your eye then the Hotel-Logos. There are good restaurants, musicals, bars and more around times square.
Two more things I would love to recommend you.
There is a restaurant called Brasserie. This place offers a wonderful Double Filet Mignon.
2nd thing, always come back to the city of New York. The face changes daily.
