Top 10 Things You Must Do In New York
![]()
15 January 2010
New York city, New York is the most famous city in America and among the most famous in the entire world. It pulls in millions of tourists every year and subsequently billions of dollars due to the plethora of shows, statues, buildings, museums and other historical landmarks and attractions. If you're visiting NYC anytime in the near future, there are certain things you have to do while there.
In no particular order, here are the top ten things you must do in New York.
One
See the Statue of Liberty. This pure copper statue, standing 305-feet tall (in total from ground to torch), was a gift from the French, commemorating America's freedom. Since arriving in New York in 1886 and being reconstructed, piece by piece, millions of visitors-around 3 million annually for the past few decades-have walked up the stairs inside the statue and peered out at the city from inside.
Two
Catch a show on Broadway. Broadway Theatre is quintessential “New York.” The building has an impressive 40 large theaters with over 500 seats and is located in Manhattan's Theatre District. Many visitors think “Broadway” isn't their cup of tea, until they realize that it's not all Cats and Chicago playing. There are many various shows and musicals happening on Broadway - something for everyone's taste.
Three
Try the Pizza! Although originating in Italy, New York pizza has been considered among the best in the world. New York chefs constantly take home prizes for their pizzas, and if you're in New York, you must grab a slice and see what you've been missing.
Four
Walk around Times Square. This is the central hub of New York, and it's awfully busy, no matter what time of year. Whether it's a New Year's Eve show going off hosted by Dick Clark, or just another Tuesday in the city, Times Square is the heartbeat of the city.
Five
Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. Although there are many museums to see in New York, Madame Tussaud's is very different from what you'd expect. Instead of dealing in artifacts and other brands of memorabilia, this museum immortalizes famous pop-culture celebrities in wax. Stop in and see if you can tell the difference from wax and real.
Six
Shop the Time Warner Center. Okay, maybe you don't have to shop anything - as it's right expensive. But the Time Warner Center is one of the best “malls” on the East coast of the US. Located at Central Park, the Time Warner Center features many of New York's best shops and restaurants.
Seven
Tour the City. Truthfully, there's just so much to see in New York that, in order to spell it all out, you'd need a top-500 list. Take a stroll through the West Side, Central Park, or find a horse-pulled carriage to take you on a tour of the entire city.
Eight
See the Empire State Building. New York is called the Empire State, and this is immortalized by the actual building. At one time, this was the tallest building in the world, and by visiting the ESB, you'll be in close proximity to others of the city's biggest attractions, like the Chrysler Building.
Nine
Visit Carnegie Hall. This venue is a concert hall-slash-shopping mall-slash restaurant. Basically, it's a national institution, and no trip to New York would be complete without stepping foot in the world-famous concert hall.
Ten
See 30-Rock. 30 Rockefeller Plaza is one of the most famous buildings in the city. It signals the end of one era and the start of another, evidenced by the old-style buildings located on either side of the gigantic building. The observation decks offer some of the best views in the city.
