New York is so good that they named it twice and it is also one of the most fascinating, exciting and cultural cities in the world. You can find some of the world's greatest museums, shops and restaurants, as well as a spectacular skyline that's known the world over within the 20 square miles that comprise Manhattan.

Spending a lifetime in New York without experiencing everything fully is even possible. If you are a first time visitor to New York, then some of the sights you need to see include Empire State Building - for many years the world's tallest building - the immigration museum at Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty, Times Square and the United Nations Building.

Wandering through the different and varied neighborhoods such as Greenwich Village, Chinatown, the Theater District, Harlem and Little Italy is one of the joys of visiting the city. The outlying borough of Brooklyn has several attractions including the botanical gardens and the famous amusement park at Coney Island.

One of the biggest attractions is the city's diversity - in New York you can hear virtually any language spoken and dine in a different ethnic restaurant every night for a month. Apart from Manhattan, the borough of Queens is also well known for its wide selection of foreign restaurants.

Shopping in New York is equally satisfying, offering world class department stores with such famous names as Bergdorf Goodman and Bloomingdales. At the other end of the shopping spectrum are street markets, designer boutiques and specialty stores.

You can find some of the greatest museums in the world, several of them conveniently located together at the edge of Central Park, in New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art offers everything from Egyptian mummies to 20th century masterpieces and it also attracts more visitors than any other place in the city.

On the other hand, there are more than 50 smaller but fascinating museums dedicated to such diverse subjects as firefighting, tenement living and the history of finance. Children are not forgotten - there are several museums aimed at children as well as the ever popular Bronx Zoo with its more than 4,000 animals.

The remains of the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan is considered as one of New York's biggest attractions since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. To many it's more than just a tourist attraction and it's also a site of pilgrimage and a poignant reminder of the events of that day.
