One of the greatest cities in the world is New York City. It is a busy place, and the city never sleeps. There are many museums, and sites to see in NYC, like the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the huge skyscrapers! Aside from being one of the biggest cities in the entire world, New York City is also a very exciting and fascinating place to be. Because it was the main landing port for immigrants, New York City has a large variety of culture.

Here are only a few of the sites to see and things to do while you are in New York. A bit of helpful information is to stay in a New York vacation rental, because it is just about the best way to really experience the big apple.

Apartment rentals are usually homes owned by locals which can be rented out for small amounts of time to tourists. Instead of booking another hotel room, you can experience a fancy and real New York apartment just like a New Yorker does.

Once your living arrangements have been made for your visit, it is time to head out and see historic and famous places. One of the more popular sites is the Empire State Building. A world famous tower, this building is higher than a quarter mile and is located right in Manhattan.

During your stay in the city, you might want to think about taking a New York Skyride. A virtual tour takes you to see many of the famous sites the city has to offer, and takes off from the top of the Empire State Building.

Make sure to stop by and stroll in Central Park as well. This strangely located park is smack dab in the center of the city and has a large variety of things to keep you occupied if you grow tired of the park like a zoo, sports facilities, a theatre, food and many other exciting things.

Take note to visit the Wildlife Center where they have over 1400 animals and nearly 130 species while you walking around the beautiful park.

From April to October you can rent a small boat and spend an afternoon out on the park lake or even hire a gondola to make the outing even less stressful and carefree.

If you are a sports fanatic, than you won't want to miss the Yankee Stadium which was demolished a few years ago but is now rebuilt.

Again if you are a sports nut than you will want to look into the "all access tour" in Madison Square Garden, which is home to the NBA Knicks, and other sports teams. Madison Square Garden is said to be the most famous sports entertainment arena in the world.

The amount of touring to do in New York City is a hefty task, and probably won't be accomplished all in one visit. The "must see" sites include Time Square, Ground Zero, and Wall Street. The U.N. is also close by and is an interesting place to visit.

So now when you finally decide to take that trip to one of the greatest cities in the world, youll know all of the best things to do New York City.
