About New York

New York City pakker skyskrabere, berømte museer, Broadway og snesevis af egne kvarterer ind i fem bydele, der summer dag og nat.

Manhattan er det klassiske første stop. Times Square gløder over teaterdistriktet, Central Park strækker sig i blok efter blok mellem Upper East Side og Upper West Side, og Empire State Building, Chrysler Building og Rockefeller Center former Midtowns skyline. I Downtown ligger 9/11-mindesmærket, Wall Street og Brooklyn Bridge tæt sammen, og både sejler forbi Frihedsgudinden til Ellis Island.
