Highlights of New York

Sights

• • 

    Downtown Manhattan is the place to visit in Manhattan!

  • 

    Brooklyn Heights owes its popularity to the awesome view of Downtown Manhattan from the Brooklyn Heights Promenade.

  • 

    SoHo, Chinatown & Little Italy have a good standing amongst tourists, too – even though I cannot quite understand why ...

  • 

    The Empire State Building is more to my taste – the view from atop is simply breathtaking!

  • 

    Times Square attracts thousands of tourists, too.

  • 

    "Where you can catch more than a train!" – Well, in my opinion, Grand Central Terminal is not that special.

  • 

    The heart of the United Nations, the UN Headquarter, is open for tours as well.

  • 

    Fifth Avenue, where (among others) the Rockefeller Center can be found, is probably the most expensive shopping street in Manhattan.

  • 

    Almost right in the center of Manhattan there is a tram station of the Roosevelt Island Tram, which connects Manhattan and Roosevelt Island.

  • 

    St. John the Divine is (allegedly) the largest cathedral in the world.

This short travel guide is based on my experiences from my study abroad in New York.
