NEW YORK CITYNew York is probably one of the most interesting cities in the world. It has something to offer everyone. If you're looking for culture, you're making the right choice by visiting one of the city's hundreds of great museums. If you want nightlife: you're probably right at one of the city's famous clubs and discos. Or if you just want a relaxing vacation, you're better off going to one of the famous parks that New York has to offer. I would recommend seeing the Brooklyn Bridge if you are interested in great engineering work. The Brooklyn Bridge is located across from City Hall Park. It is one of the great milestones of 19th century engineering. Overlooking the East River, this historic passage separates Manhattan and Brooklyn. Visitors can walk across the bridge to enjoy an excellent view of Lower Manhattan, and there is a pedestrian and cyclist path that allows for contrasting views of the two boroughs. When the Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883, after 16 years of construction, it connected the two independent cities of New York and Brooklyn. The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge constructed of steel. NY is also famous for hosting the UN nations headquarters (like Vienna too). The buildings and grounds contain sculptures and other works of art donated by member countries. Here in Man's Parliament, history is being made as representatives of member countries strive to resolve international issues. A limited number of free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis for General Assembly and Council meetings, in session, shortly before meeting times, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. You can fill almost any ticket. your needs, from high culture to wilderness within the city limits, but if you're determined to visit the surrounding areas, here are some ideas for day trips outside the city. There are beautiful beaches near New York and it is possible to get to them. them for a day trip. Coney Island is the closest, you can get there by metro but I wouldn't swim there because the water is quite dirty as they say. It's best to check with the Long Island Railroad and ask about their special beach packages available in June, July and August. For example, you can get a round-trip ticket to Long Beach on Long Island and a pass to use the beach for the day for approximately $12.
