Nine in NYC for '09
Earlier this year, we suggested nine travel resolutions for the New Year. Now we'd like to recommend nine "must see" destinations for anyone who will be in New York City in '09:
- Check out one of the new New York baseball stadiums: the Yankees and the Mets will both be on new ball fields starting next month.
- Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and enjoy great city views and learn a bit of history.
- Spend an afternoon in Central Park, watching the remote-controlled boats on Sailboat Lake, laughing at the children climbing the Alice in Wonderland sculpture, or just lazing on the Great Lawn.
- Ride the Staten Island ferry for the amazing views of lower Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty -- and then get off and take a 10-minute bus ride to the Snug Harbor Cultural Center & Botanical Garden.
- Visit one of NYC's great museums -- with more than 120 museums within the New York City limits, you can be sure that you will find something of interest, no matter what you're passionate about.
- Ride the NYC subway; not only is it the fastest way around town, but it provides great people-watching opportunities, and even great art (if you know where to look).
- Explore the ethnic neighborhoods of Queens and get a taste of food from all over the world, from Greek moussaka in Astoria to Indian chutneys in Jackson Heights.
- Watch the NYC Marathon and cheer on the waves of runners pounding the pavement through 5 boroughs for 26.2 miles.
- Whether you are attending a Broadway show or just want to see all the neon, a trip to the Big Apple isn't complete without a stop at Times Square.
