NEW YORK CITY ITINERARY – 7 DAYS\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

There is so much to see and do in New York – the largest and most populous city,\u00a0lying\u00a0 on\u00a0the east coast of North America. Words may not be sufficient to describe the place, you have to experience yourself to know what it means to be there. In this blog I have enlisted top and highly recommended tourist sites of the `Big Apple\u2019 as it is nicknamed.\u00a0 Let\u2019s begin with its history, New York was originally found by the Dutch who named it `New Amsterdam\u2019. It\u2019s strategic location on the shores of the\u00a0Atlantic ocean\u00a0made it the primary seat of activities and soon became an important port. In its contemporary form, New York can be defined as a complete city always on the move, seeped in creativity and abundant imagination \u2013 fathomed by\u00a0one of a kind\u00a0structures\u00a0and\u00a0 colorful\u00a0murals<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"NYC<\/p>\n

You know you are in New York when you find tall skyscrapers extending endlessly to as far as you can see, an inter-mingling of people from diverse ethnicity, a vivacious energy\u00a0 rarely found anywhere else and of course the familiar yellow taxis on the wide streets. A convenient mode of travel, more so for new comers, these cabs are comfortable and easily available. Though at times the garrulous cabbie may persist on you giving a tip, so just be aware.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The vast megalopolis is divided into five main boroughs of which Manhattan is the primary one. As you traverse the miles from the airport\u00a0towards\u00a0 Manhattan,\u00a0 the\u00a0cluster of\u00a0high rise\u00a0buildings against the background of blue skies and sunlight reflecting on the glass panes has been seen, countless times in movies, in reality too the view is\u00a0beautiful !!\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0 ideal\u00a0and worthwhile for tourists to stay in this area and make it their base due to its central location<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

\"New<\/p>\n

In this blog – `New York city itinerary 7 days\u2019 ,\u00a0I have written about some of the best tourist sites in New York that are absolutely necessary for first timers<\/em>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

\u00a0New York is very much defined by its immigrant population as well. An amalgamation of diverse nationalities, culture, cuisine and\u00a0experiences\u00a0 is\u00a0the essence of New York. Statistics reveal that 36% of population living in New York were born outside the US, and as many as 34 different regions are represented in the population. As such, NYC is a one stop destination for every type of traveler \u2013 be it family, friends, adventure seekers, foodies. A city that walks fast, talks fast, and is full of a maddening energy of creative souls on the streets.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What better way to experience the spirit of New York, than to get an opportunity to watch the vibrant Columbus Day Parade on the streets of the megalopolis, on our very first day of arriving\u00a0here !!\u00a0The colorful parade full of pomp and splendor, music and dance\u00a0brings\u00a0to the fore the multi-cultural vibe of New York.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Big Apple\u2019s glamorous, explosive hub is Fifth Avenue, includes key\u00a0tourists\u00a0spots. Some of which are listed\u00a0below<\/em> :<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n
Empire State Building<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>– New York boasts of\u00a0having\u00a0 one\u00a0of the world\u2019s first skyscrapers \u2013 the Empire State building. Completed in 1931, The Empire State Building is just as majestic as its name. Enter the marble art deco lobby, from where you\u2019re directed to the high-speed elevator to the 86<\/span>th<\/span>\u00a0floor viewing deck for unhindered\u00a0360 degree\u00a0views. On a clear day the visibility is as much as 130\u00a0kilometers .\u00a0The towering skyscraper\u00a0has\u00a0 been\u00a0the film\u00a0shooting\u00a0 location\u00a0for numerous\u00a0movies\u00a0 \u2013\u00a0 remember Independence Day, King Kong.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Rockefeller Centre\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u2013 second after Empire state, the Rockefeller\u00a0center\u00a0 has\u00a0the world\u2019s biggest business and entertainment complexes. You can choose from a gamut of activities here. The `Top of the Rock\u2019 observatory has the most dramatic views, with the skyscrapers being almost in your face close. There are three levels of open air and enclosed viewing terraces.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

Statue of Liberty \u2013 the most potent symbol of America, this was a gift from France as a token of unity, freedom and the beginning of a new era post revolution. The best way to reach the incredible Statue of Liberty is to take a ferry\u00a0from\u00a0 Battery\u00a0Park. The sole advise from me would be to carry light, as there is a strict security check and heavy bags are not allowed.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Central Park\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>\u2013 this beautiful park is the green stretch of New York and is a soothing break from the endless concrete space. Lot of interesting activities are organized here throughout. During summers a range of performances, musical shows, neighborhood events, concerts keep people enthralled. And with the advent of winters, when the lushness disappears, the park transforms into a naturally made ice-skating rink, full of joyous skaters.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"Central<\/p>\n

The best way to enjoy\u00a0Central park\u00a0is unquestionably\u00a0to\u00a0 stroll\u00a0around on foot, halting at key spots, like the Bethesda fountain to admire the `Angel of the Waters\u2019 statue. This\u00a0is\u00a0 a\u00a0great photography point. Another option is to hire a horse drawn carriage ride that takes tourists around the massive precincts. You can sit cozily on these cute carriages that you would have seen in fairy tales. With the furry, soft blanket provided, wrapped around you, absorb the freshness and incredible views. An additional advantage is that you\u2019ll get to know famous,\u00a0interesting\u00a0 landmarks\u00a0in the vicinity, as pointed out by the coachman.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Central park\u00a0is ideal for a day picnic with your family. You\u2019ll get ample open space, away from the urban cacophony, to find peace and revel in nature.\u00a0 Other activities would be to ride a bike in the huge park, row a boat in the lake or do a rendezvous of the neighboring\u00a0zoo..<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

American Museum of Natural History\u00a0\u2013\u00a0 there\u00a0are innumerable things to see. Visit for its collection of life size dinosaur skeletons and a futuristic planetarium.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Times<\/p>\n

Times Square<\/span><\/strong> –\u00a0<\/span>is the pulsating, neon-lit heart of New York. It is the most exciting place to be, nights are\u00a0 specially very lively. The kaleidoscope of bright lights and fluorescent billboards of Times Square are absolutely captivating. There are a host of entertaining activities happening\u00a0 \u00a0always\u00a0 \u2013 live performances,\u00a0 accompanied with music, rock shows and plenty more. Plus there are numerous shops and eateries for a complete experience. Spend hours here, people watching or gazing around. The well-known Broadway theatre is here too, so if you\u2019re interested and have the time, watch a\u00a0 play or musical !<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h6>\n
Wall Street –\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>Being the financial and business capital of the US, New York has the\u00a0world famous\u00a0Wall Street, that\u00a0has\u00a0 witnessed\u00a0a wide spectrum of events \u2013 from creating millionaires to the worse stock market crash of 1929.\u00a0 Here you\u2019ll come across the impressive facade of the New York Stock Exchange. Currently, the\u00a0visitors\u00a0gallery is no longer open for spectators to observe the speculators.<\/span><\/h6>\n

\"Wall<\/p>\n

And you just can\u2019t come to the financial district without seeing the most recognized icon here – the Bronze Charging Bull. This statue is\u00a0a\u00a0 symbol\u00a0of prosperity, and is supposed to be the harbinger of good luck. So don\u2019t miss visiting and\u00a0click\u00a0 pictures. Though there\u2019s no charge for that, but do expect a queue.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I have attempted to include in this blog `New York city itinerary 7 days\u2019 some of the best tourist sites in NY, that are my all time favorites too.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
