Backpack and get ready to get lost in the streets of Manhattan, photographing the skyline from the Brooklyn Bridge, walking for miles in Central Park, the heart (in the true sense of the word) of the city. It seems almost absurd that a frenetic city like New York also known as “The city that never sleeps” has an oasis of peace in the center, where you can stroll peacefully even if you might have to move because of the many runners who choose Central Park for recover from work stress.

The Empire State Building is probably the most famous skyscraper in New York City and possibly the world. With its 381 meters of height it is among the tallest skyscrapers in the world and has been proposed as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.

The Statue of Liberty, nicknamed Lady Liberty, is an enormous statue (93m from ground to torch tip and 46m from pedestal surface to torch tip) that towers over the Hudson River harbor entrance from Liberty Island in New York City, welcomes all who come to the US. It symbolizes the dream that becomes reality, the arrival and the restart.

Times Square, one of the most famous squares in New York City. Living heart of the city, you will find excitement, color and without any problem, raising an arm you will be able to stop a taxi ready to accompany you to discover the city.

Wall Street, located in the borough of Manhattan, is home to the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange (the New York Stock Exchange or NYSE). It represents the center of the financial district of New York; the term “Wall Street” refers to the entire complex of the US financial industry. Once there, you will find men and women all “dressed” with handbags and documents running to enter these glass buildings, perhaps sipping a good American coffee in a hurry (perfect Starbucks style).

No matter what your style, age or passions, New York has something for everyone.

If you love art instead, the countless galleries and various artists will give you the right bread for your teeth.

NYC food

And then there’s the food. New York is the city of the culinary melting pot, you can taste dishes from all over the world, from Neapolitan pizza to Middle Eastern falafel, from Japanese noodles to Jewish bagels.

But the city is famous for its hot dogs. Since 1871, when sausages were served inside a sandwich for the first time in Coney Island, the hot dog immediately became one of the city’s symbolic foods: cheap and quick to eat. Indeed, you will easily find carts in the corners of the city that mainly give off the smell of fried onion.

Also try the cheesecakes and cupcakes or bagels. Bagels are soft, non-fried donuts unlike donuts which are covered in sprinkles and colored icings (just think of the Simpson family).
