1. Travel Guide
New York
by Bjorn Koch
The Statue of Liberty
An old classic, and perhaps one of the
most commonly visited and widely
known attractions in New York. Lady
Liberty is a lasting symbol of freedom
and alliance. If you do decide to visit,
make sure you to bring your running
shoes–the steps to the top to
complete the incredible view number
over 300.
Rockefeller Plaza
Declared a national historical
landmark in 1987, the Rockefeller
Center is a collection of 19 buildings
within the city, the most well known of
which is 30 Rockefeller (or 30 Rock).
Another building with a beautiful view,
30 Rock has an observation deck that
is very popular with visitors to the city.
The 9/11 Memorial
An incredibly powerful sight to
behold–particularly in person. Placed
at the location where the Twin Towers
once stood, the 9/11 memorializes the
terrorist attacks that killed almost
3,000 Americans in 2001. A truly
sobering experience.
So you’ve decided to take a trip to the Big
Apple. I’m not surprised, honestly; it’s a
beautiful city with beautiful people and a
beautiful atmosphere. But the most basic
question of just about every trip, whether
it is international or domestic, is “what is
there to do?”
Museum of Modern Art
The Museum of Modern Art, also called
MoMA can be found in Manhattan,
where some of the most incredible
pieces of art in the world call home.
Experiencing works from artists like
Van Gogh, Mondrian, Monet and
Warhol in one place is an almost
surreal experience to behold.
Yankee Stadium
Though the old, original Yankee
Stadium was demolished in 2008, an
updated, cleaner and more
technologically­advanced near­replica
was opened in its place. New York
loves the Yankees, so if you’re a sports
fan, visiting Yankee stadium and
experiencing authentic baseball from
America’s team is a tough activity to
beat.
Central Park
Amidst the skyscrapers and bustling
businessmen and women of the
concrete jungle lies Central Park, an
urban oasis of sorts. Central Park is an
incredible place to go to getaway from
the hustle and bustle of the big city if
you have some down time or want to
relax.
