Top 3 When You Visit New York City
See Times Square
A USA travel bucket list item is experiencing Times Square. This busy intersection is at the heart of the city and is filled with flashing lights, billboards, and a high energy atmosphere. Arguably most known for its New Year's Eve celebration, Time Square is the site for some of the city's biggest events. Even though this is a heavy tourist area, everyone should experience Times Square at least once as its a staple of NYC and even the USA.
Visit Central Park
No trip to NYC is complete without a visit to Central Park. Central Park spans over 800 acres and has plenty of places to stroll, run, picnic in the grass, or explore. The park also offers boating on the lake, carriage rides, gardens to explore, and ice skating in the winter. Given its size, you're likely to find a peaceful place if you're looking for a quick escape from the NYC chaos. Its an ideal place to enjoy the natural beauty in NYC.
