New York City is a phenomenal city. It is beautiful, full of energy, and filled with culture and history. There is so much to see, so many places to visit, and numerous neighborhoods to explore that you will not be able to do everything in one trip. All the more reason why you have to go back again, and again. I was born in New York City so I have fabulous memories from my childhood. I still love going back to visit. There is a wonderful spirit to this place that you can't find anywhere else.
The best time to visit New York City is at Christmas time. The city is at it's prettiest and most festive. The department stores are exquisitely decorated, and if it happens to snow, well then the entire city is magical.
Look closely, because the artwork and craftsmanship on some of the buildings in New York City is really lovely.
- Pros:The best American City
- Cons:New Yorkers can sometimes be rude, and the taxi drivers can be insane
- In a nutshell:Must see in your lifetime!

"Nothing comes close"???? Obviously you haven't travelled much, this is probably one of the worst toy stores there is. Poor selection, bad service and inflated prices. My advice shop outside of NYC for toys.
thank you for your NY tips & things to I'm going there soon and hope to put it to use....Donna
Superb N.Y page, hope to take a trip there next nov for the very first time, best wishes Cliff
Chinatown was also one of my favorites. I wish I had reconsidered South St Seaport for my night photos . . . I left without getting the ones I wanted.
Really enjoyed the NY pages. Thanks much for sharing the excellent pix & info.
Very detailed, informative and inspiring, thanks a lot, Elissa!
My oh my, might you & Lisa be biological sisters but your respective "parents" didn't tell you?!?
Nice intro to your NY pages. Enjoyed your pics!
Wow! You are right! I love your photo in front of the Plaza Hotel too. This is spooky! : - )
Great pages on New York, my 2nd favorite city in the U.S. You have a lot of very informative tips here. It's a good guide for any visitor to the Big Apple. I've enjoyed each one of my many visits.
