New York

Times Square is the most popular attraction in Manhattan. Nearby is the Theater District, which offers Broadway musicals, comedies and dramas. Midtown is home the Rockefeller Center, home of NBC Studios. Across the street stands St. Patrick's Cathedral, the largest gothic cathedral in the United States. Top of the Rock and the Empire State Building offer the best views of the New York skyline. To the north lies Central Park, designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a public park of trees, vast lawns, ponds, paths, bridges and arches. Among the many museums, well worth a visit are: the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), housing one of the best collections in the world of contemporary art and, in East 82nd Street, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which features a permanent collection of over 2 million works of art. The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum displays modern and contemporary masterpieces, which include its building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Shopping on New York’s famous Fifth Avenue is a must.
