New York City is one of the world’s
biggest and best-known cities. New York is popular among tourists especially those
that are interested in Travelup
Reviews.It has also attracted many travelers who have stayed there, contributing to its
rich cultural makeup. When many people, especially from outside of North
America, think of New York City, they think of Manhattan’s skyscrapers, of Wall
Street and the New York business world, of Times Square and its high-tech
displays, of Broadway and off-Broadway theatre. In reality, Manhattan is only
one of five New York City boroughs, each with its own appeal, culture, and
lifestyle. Moreover, within each borough there is a much more traditional and
architectural variety, and a large number of activities suitable for tourists.
The size of New York City means that
tourists such as those that have sought Travelup Reviews can experience more riveting activities
throughout the city. However, it also means that planning the trip in advance
is a must. One must decide whether to attempt to cover all five boroughs or
merely one of them; Manhattan and Brooklyn being the best-known of the five.
The other three are Staten Island, Queens and the Bronx. The Bronx is part of
the U.S. mainland, while Manhattan and Staten Island are their own islands.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Queens are geographically on Long Island. The city’s
unique geography does not pose much of an impediment when it comes to getting
around, as there is a good system of tunnels, bridges and ferries to get around
on.
In the Bronx, one can have a
quintessential New York experience by going to Yankee Stadium, and also visit
the famous Bronx Zoo. Brooklyn, the most populous of the boroughs, is known
worldwide as the capital of hip culture and lifestyles, but also offers a rich
cultural history and a great deal of ethnic diversity. Manhattan needs little
introduction, as it has been the setting of countless movies, is well-known as
a high-end shopping mecca, and is where most of New York City’s global image
comes from. Queens is the city’s most ethnically diverse borough and also its
largest, making it an essential place to visit to better understand New York
City and explore its people’s culture and food. Staten Island is largely
residential in comparison to the other boroughs, but does offer some
fascinating sights. It is also a good place to take the kids, as the island is
home to the Staten Island Children’s Museum.
