15 Reasons why we need to visit New york once in a life time. Part 1

1. As one of the world’s leading metropolises for art, fashion, food and theater, New York is a city every traveler should visit. Whether you come for a day trip or for an extended stay, choosing what to see and do is theExplore the richness of all five boroughs

1.Explore the richness of all five boroughs

Visitors who think New York is Manhattan alone miss out on the sights and activities offered by the city’s four other boroughs. Head out to the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo in the Bronx. Take your pick from the array of amazing ethnic restaurants in Queens. Explore the burgeoning Brooklyn neighborhoods of Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Red Hook. And bear in mind that no trip to New York is complete without a ride on the Staten Island Ferry; you can also take the opportunity to visit the Staten Island Museum in Snug Harbor.

2. See some of the world’s best museums and art galleries

NYC’s art scene is unparalleled. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Guggenheim and other museums present great art from around the world, while galleries in the Lower East Side and Chelsea promote new talent. There’s much more to savor than art, however. See the famous blue whale and animal dioramas at the American Museum of Natural History; learn about America’s most famous jazzman at the Louis Armstrong House Museum, and about the history of Lower East Side 0immigrants at the Tenement Museum; walk along the deck of a World War II aircraft carrier at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum; and ask everything you ever wanted to know about lovemaking at the Museum of Sex.

3. Give your regards to Broadway

The world’s most famous street cuts a 13-mile (21-kilometer) diagonal path from Bowling Green on Manhattan’s southern tip to Inwood, where it crosses into the Bronx. There’s no better way to pick up on NYC’s variable vibe and changing scenery than by walking 50 blocks on a fine day. Broadway is also shorthand for Manhattan’s 41 mainstream theaters that are clustered around Times Square. Take in a show while you’re here.

4. Stand in awe of the skyscrapers

Few experiences are as humbling as walking down a Manhattan street with skyscrapers towering over you. From 1930s monuments like the Empire State building and the Chrysler Building to the One World Trade Center (aka the Freedom Tower), completed in 2013, these gigantic beauties have to be seen to be believed. The views from the Empire State Building are not only awe-inspiring, by day and by night; they also communicate a sense of the city’s vastness within the context of the surrounding land; on a clear day, five states are visible from the observation deck.

5. Get your fill of international and experimental food

New York is a foodie’s heaven. An estimated 60 international cuisines are served in the city’s 23,000 restaurants. And the chefs are always innovating, whether combining old-school recipes with new ideas for main courses, or creating new desserts that people will line up for hours to try. Stop in for a Cronut at Dominique Ansel in SoHo; try Frankel’s Delicatessen in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, which is making Jewish food cool with its takes on pastrami, egg and cheese sandwiches; or visit the world-famous Katz’s Delicatessen on the Lower East Side if you want something more traditional.

6. Discover different neighborhoods

No two neighborhoods in New York City are the same. Brooklyn’s Park Slope, with its rows of expensive brownstones, is adjacent to Gowanus, an area of light industry that has become home to a new art scene. Once dangerous, Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan’s midtown west has been taken over by restaurants and gay bars, but it’s still markedly different from the ritzy Theater District nearby. Walking from SoHo into Chinatown, you find yourself in a new world. That’s the beauty of New York.
