New York City is an ever-desirable and highly sought-after vacation destination for its seemingly limitless supply of equally enticing attractions. The city is filled with history, just as it is with people from all walks of life. Perhaps, one of the most appealing elements of spending time in New York City is to find yourself consistently regularly surprised by the different flavors of magic that the richly historical city decides to share with you, as you navigate your life’s journey. We’ll take a quick look at some of the must-see attractions you would do well to carve out your time to visit.
Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty absolutely deserves to be sitting comfortably as the top spot on this list of New York City’s must-see destinations. Not merely just the widely recognized symbol of New York itself, but The Statue of Liberty is also the symbol of America, to so many. Plus, there is Ellis Island which is situated nearby. Wildly fascinating about Ellis Island, is the fact that nearly half of Americans are able to directly trace their ancestry back to this island. You have numerous options available at your disposal to view the Statue of Liberty, and there are plenty of spots you can do so for free. You can also visit the Statue of Liberty Museum, and then climb atop the pedestal for truly breathtaking views.
Succession Film Spots
It’s not beyond reason to suggest that you like so many avid TV consumers have probably heard of (if not binged) the notoriously well-produced “Succession.” While many movies and shows have made it a point to make use of “The Big Apple” for its wealth of iconic filming spots, few shows have accomplished such hype as that of “Succession.” You’ll quickly find yourself engrossed by the unofficial Succession tour, excitedly weaving through various parts of New York City’s Lower East Side, where you’ll be able to spot Rava’s infamous “Penthouse” and the mountainous buildings that played their own roles as the Waystar/Royco headquarters.
Walk the Brooklyn Bridge
The Brooklyn Bridge is all at once beautiful to feast your eyes on, just as it is incredibly easy to embark upon for an unforgettable experience with unreal views. If you’re in search of the best views, you’ll want to start your journeying on the Brooklyn side of the bridge, and then head onwards on your walk towards Manhattan. This will ensure that you have the view kept in front of you, while not having to navigate too overwhelming of equally excited crowds. Because after all, you want to truly be able to relax and fully enjoy the scenery.
Central Park
Now, take note, that without contest the best possible time to visit Central Park is during autumn, when all the trees that populate the beautiful, legendary park begin to change colors and light up the special pocket of the city with a beautiful assemblage of autumnal magic. However, you can also always take a wintry adventure through Central Park, and even have fun with some ice skating if you know how or better yet, are interested in learning how to.
The High Line
Oh, The High Line. The High Line is one of those welcomed additions to the city that is somewhat hidden on the west side of Manhattan. The High Line winds its way back and forth along 10th Avenue and actually rises an impressive 30 feet from ground level. The park itself was finished in 2016 and is still under-the-radar enough as an attraction that you won’t have to worry about competing for space and views of the city with too many tourists.
