If you arrived to the USA while on a Work and travel arrangement and have only one day to visit New York, and for the first time, do not panic. Even for those 24 hours you can visit important places in this most urban city in the world. Do not worry, after this short tour you will be delighted and will want to return.
You are probably well informed about the major landmarks such as Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art.
We give you a proposal of 10 places that tourists normally do not visit, places where New Yorkers live.
Time Warner Center
While New Yorkers do not like to call this shiny object a shopping mall, it is essentially a mall. On the fourth floor are the best and most expensive restaurants in New York, the French restaurant “Per Se”, where the head of the restaurant is the famous Thomas Keller, and the famous Masa Takayama sushi bar.
The whole complex is located on the Columbus circle on the southwest corner of Central Park. Gently sip a cocktail while enjoying the spectacular view from the park at Stone Rose Lounge or the bar at the Mandarin Hotel. Also, you can enjoy first-class jazz of Dizzy Club, one of the three Jazz places at Lincoln Center.
During lunch, take the ball and go on a picnic completely unprepared. Or if you prefer shopping, in this mall there are more than 50 stores at your disposal.
West Village Strolla
Here you can see the “Braunstouns” buildings in the streets that are paved with cobblestones, and all in the effort to evoke the likeness of the 19th century. You'll need a map to be able to get around in this area that resembles a jigsaw puzzle. “How does the West Fourth Street intersects with West Tenth Street?” This is just one of many places in Manhattan that deviate from the urban region. Here you should visit the Jefferson Market, shops along Bleecker Street and Commerce, the most beautiful streets in New York.
Ignore the temptation to join a very long line in front of Magnolia Bakery, where the most delicious cakes are made. Two blocks away is the Spotted pig, a gastro pub, but also a place where you can recharge your batteries with an unlimited amount of beer.
Movie forum
New York is the city of movies, and the Movie forum is the mecca for all movie lovers. Here you can actually see all the movies that you just read about. Program schedules are ranging from movies with provocative themes, through documentaries to the best foreign films that have appeared on all international festivals. Of course, the calendar is always filled with retrospective of Woody Allen and Godard.
Pizzeria Grimaldi
New Yorkers often discuss where is the best pizza in Toton, Di Fara, or John Lombardi. If you have only 24 hours in New York you cannot go wrong with the pizzeria Grimaldi, which is located under the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge. Not only will you feel the perfect taste of a pizza, but you will also enjoy the view of one of the oldest and most picturesque parts of Brooklyn. Not to mention that the jukebox is full of classics like songs by Frank Sinatra, which is said to have loved just the pizza from Grimaldi.
Empire State Building
If you want to visit one of the most popular tourist places the Empire State Building would be a hit. The view from the 86th floor is breathtaking. Surely you will not be the only one who will visit this magnificent building, so be prepared to wait in line. To avoid the crowds, perhaps it would be best to arrive at half past eight in the morning or at lunch or dinner hours, from Monday to Wednesday. Tickets are expensive, but what you see is worth every penny invested. Individual tickets are around $ 17, but if you want to have a view from the 102d floor so that your only company is the one that you choose, it is necessary to allocate about $ 57.
Little Branch
Someone whom you met in the summer you met in La Gardiji. You flirted. Then exchanged numbers. Now what? Conveniently store and get to know each other better, meet at the Little Branch, a dimmed cocktail bar that will virtually mum on a date. Mix drinks here are maximally studied. You can be tortured which cocktail to choose from the menu, perfectly mixed WVI is poured over ice cubes. You will be seduced by this bar.
Museum of Contemporary Art
This is the home of modern teachers. Located in a renovated public school, but simply has its permanent exhibition whose authors are provocative world artists. Do not miss James Turelovu installation, or enjoy the garden in which there are always some new architectural solutions. Also, every Saturday during the summer, early in the evening starts the warming up party, you have to add it to your night life calendar.
Bergdorf Goodman
Bergdorf's only remaining luxury store in New York. Even if you cannot afford to buy it is still fun to look around and daydream. If you can afford to, pre-check that you really have enough money on your credit card. What is important, ladies, models of famous designers are at your fingertips, from Alexander McQueen to Zac Posen. Get help from shopaholics.
Boveri Balrum
This is a place you should visit if you love music. Musical performances that are oriented toward indie rock music are held on two floors, all with the best sound system in the city. The ground floor is the best place to warm up before the show starts.
Grand Central Terminal
At this point, you can rapidly go back to ancient times. Do not give the Grand Central Terminal the title of the station because this is a very lively and bustling temple where the history of New York is illustrated. Pay attention to the roof that extends above you. If you want to eat something quickly take Kumamotos from the legendary Oyster Bar. Reveal the secret to your partner in the gallery for whispering. Face the wall and whisper something into the wall. Explore the secret passages from which you can watch the busy passers-by. Even if you have no idea where to go further, here you can stay for hours and you never get bored.
