New York City NY Travel Guide - They say New York City is the city that never sleeps. And it’s no wonder with its colorful explosion of culture that influences the food, fashion and future trends of the world. Planning a trip to New York City can be just as exhausting as trying to visit every prominent landmark, boutique and featured attraction. Depending on your mood, you can spend an entire day gorging yourself at the many delicious Italian, Chinese, East Indian, South American restaurants the city has to offer…or tire yourself walking past tantalizing storefronts, drooling over the latest Gucci, Coach, Prada products.

The city is easily accessible by bus, train or plane. Fly into this cultural oasis through John F. Kennedy International or La Guardia. Once you arrive, there are plenty of ways to travel about the city. Numerous subways, buses, trains and ferries inexpensively deliver you to your desired destination or you could always hail an eagerly awaiting cab.

New York City is broken down into five prominent areas: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island. In Manhattan, weave your way through New York’s first district, Wall Street and the Financial District, to view the hustle and bustle of investment banks and the moneymakers. Hear the harmonious squeal of a soothing trumpet at a jazz lounge or satisfy your soul with down-home cooking in Harlem, birthplace of the artistic and literary Harlem Renaissance. Frequent trendy bars, galleries and designer shops in decadent Soho or tour the lively neighborhoods of Chinatown and Little Italy.

Right in the middle of it all, travel the streets of Midtown and visit the well-known greenery of Central Park. Businesses focused on publishing, fashion and finance make their home in this area. Midtown is home to famed Apprentice overseer, Donald Trump’s Trump Tower and an ice skater’s dream, Rockefeller Center. Bright lights and larger-than-life billboards decorate the scene at Times Square. Follow the flyers plastered everywhere inviting you to the next Broadway musical.

Enjoy a candy apple while riding Brooklyn’s Coney Island Ferris Wheel or sports fans visit Yankee Stadium to root for the pinstripes.
