A short summary My wife Nikki and I took a trip to New York City in the period from July 5th - 11th 2004. We spent the days in NYC sightseeing on Manhattan but as it is a big city and I guess we only scratched the surface on what the city has to offer during our 6 day visit. But I hope that my tips can be of some use to other first time visitors to New York City. Please get in touch if you have any questions or comments. |
Prelude We have been talking about visiting New York City for many years now and we finally got a chance to see it when we took a family trip to the USA. We decided to first go to my sister in Ohio and spend a few days there. After this we would go to NYC and then go home to Norway from there. Like most others we felt that we knew the city a bit even if we hadn’t been there before. After all, the city is portrayed in so many movies and TV series, it sort of feels like you are going back to a place you have been to before. When I was young I remember seeing TV shows about how kids grew up in NYC and it felt very distant from my own upbringing. I also remember seeing movies like “The Warriors” and of course I wondered if this gave a true impression of the city. Well, as I have gotten older I have of course come to learn and understand that there are a lot more to NYC than the negative things the press often focus on. We started planning our trip by buying a DK Eyewitness guide for the city but there is also an amazing amount of stuff to be found on the web. The problem is of course trying to find which information that can be of use to you. It is possible to buy books which focus on certain stuff, e.g. if you just want to visit locations used in movies. So it should be possible to find all the information suitable for your needs |

| Pros: | "A lot to see & do, has something to offer for everyone" | | Cons: | "Too much to see and do, can be exhausting, expensive hotels" | | In A Nutshell: | "NYC is one of those classical destinations that you don't want to miss. There is so much to see and do there..I'm sure you won't be bored :-)" |
