Travel - Things To Do In Nyc

Dubbed the cultural capital of the world and observed to be a city that never sleeps

, New York City is replete with niche events and universally appealing locales that command the attention of all. Drafting a schedule to the places to see and events to be a part of in the sprightly city can be a daunting task if you have limited time to explore the wondrous city.

No list of things to do in NYC is complete without paying a visit to the iconic Statue of Liberty, the impressive copper figure that represents the worlds most powerful nation. The Statue of Liberty is situated on Liberty Island in Upper New York Bay, to the south of Ellis Island. A tourist is not required to shell out any money to visit the Statue of Liberty, and the only cost to be borne by a visitor is ferry charges. Ferries commissioned to transport visitors to the statue depart from Liberty State Park in New Jersey and Battery Park in Lower Manhattan, and since they are not allowed to dock at Liberty Island for free, the tourist is charged a nominal fee. Security checks are conducted twice during the whole process.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan is home to a 9/11 peace story quilt. The initiative of an artist named Faith Ringgold, the peace story quilt is an attempt of the man to try and encourage communal harmony in a nation torn by a heinous terrorist attack that skewered the balance for all involved. The purpose of the quilt was to quiet the emotionally charged multitudes who were in dire need of hope and faith after the disaster struck. Created by Faith and an army of students aged between 8 and 17, the quilt is a three-paneled beauty that is currently being flaunted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and is definitely worth a visit.

Those who appreciate arts must catch a show in Broadway, the heart of American theatre. The theatres of Broadway host a wide range of performances that promise to woo every person. Gifted actors enliven long forgotten and universally popular characters, signature make up and the ambience of the theatres captivate audiences and the strong voices and powerful performances are an experience that will be etched deep into memory. Tickets cost anything between $70 and $150, depending upon the success of the performance and the prominence of its cast and crew.

NYC also has a steady stream of various types of performing arts being staged in some part of the city, and it is always possible for a visitor in the city to pencil in an event to fill an unexpected free hour. The nightlife of the city is a jazzy scene that is exemplary. Headbang to the music spun by some of the globes best DJs and groove the night away. NYC is also a haven for wine tasters. With more than 300 verities of wines prepared in the city, followers of wine science can also make a trip to the city an educational one.
