Visiting New York City
New York City is one of the most
exciting cities in the world, but its also
one of the biggest. So what should you
do if you only have a couple of days?
Here are some ideas.
Go on a boat trip. The city of New
York is on an island, and there are a lot
of famous buildings to see from the
water. A relaxing way to see the city is
to take a three-hour cruise around
Manhattan Island. You will see the
Empire State Building, Wall Street, Ellis
Island, the Statue of Liberty, and the
Brooklyn Bridge. Youll see all these
famous sights while youre sitting
comfortably and taking pictures. Of
course, if its cold or raining, it isnt so
great.
Visit the Empire State Building.
This is one of the most popular sights in
New York City. Youll get an amazing
view and will be able to see the whole
of the city from the top. You have to get
there early because there are often
long lines, especially in the summer, or
buy your tickets online and you wont
have to wait in line. But dont go if you
are scared of heights its one of the
tallest structures in the world!
Visit at holiday time. Why not visit
New York City at Thanksgiving? Each
year, at the end of November, there is
a Thanksgiving Day parade through the
downtown area. This tradition is all
about bringing the people of New York
together, with 3.5 million people
coming to watch. Theres a carnival
atmosphere, with street performers,
music, and dance along a six-mile route
through the city. And you dont have to
buy tickets all this fun entertainment
is free. Or, if you dont like the idea of
going to New York in November, why
not go in July for the Fourth of July
fireworks? At around 9:00 p.m., theres
a huge fireworks display from six boats
on the Hudson River, which lights up

the sky with a dazzling show of color.

Large crowds line up along the river to
see it.
These are just a few ideas of what to
do. If you decide to visit New York City,
you can see for yourself exactly how
much there is on offer in the USAs
biggest city.
