According to some sources, New York China town is the biggest concentration of Chinese people outside China. Others beleive it is San Francisco. Anyway, New York China town is really big, full of ethnic restaurants and shops and, I must say that, with very dirty streets.

Before I visit NY, I always thought that Chrysler building is Empire State Building and vice versa. Now I could make the difference but still cannot understand why Chrysler building is so underestimated for tourist purposes in comparison to ESB. It stands at 320 m but it lost the title of tallest building in the world to the ESB a few months after its completion in 1930.

Originally named the Fuller Building after the construction company that owned it, this building by Chicago architect Davit Burnham was the tallest in the world when it was completed in 1902. One of the first building to use a steel frame, it heralded the era of the skyscrapers. This unusual triangular shape building is certainly on must see activities.

Picturesque touristically designed Italian neighbourhood is place bordering Chinatown. I am not sure about these restaurants but in one of small caffes I have found real Italian espresso and very good tartuffo (tasty chocolate cake).

A gift from the French to the American people, the statue was the masterpiece of sculptor Bartholdi and has become a symbol of freedom throughout the world. Ferry rides to Liberty Island and Ellis Island but be prepare to wait in line for more than three hours. Instead of such time-consuming activity you may take circle boat cruise from pier 83 and see the statue, as well as other major Manhattan sights in two or three hours cruises.

FYI, the Bronx is a borough (read: county) with over 1 million people, not a neighborhood. | JVANYC Sun Feb 6, 2005 17:36 UTC
Observing drug dealers in Washington Square Park is a little like seeing nuns at the vatican. They probably aren't there to start any trouble. Just ignore them. If you want a nice park Union Sq Park at 14th or Manhattan park at 23rd street. | spgood301 Thu Feb 3, 2005 05:00 UTC
Hi Snoopy Sue, glad you enjoyed New York. I think I learned a few things about my hometown from you. Cheers! | irvbur Wed Jan 12, 2005 02:40 UTC
Hi Snoopy, You did a great job of capturing the spirit of my home town. I'm thrilled you had a great time and took unbelievable pix. Irv |
