Our recent week in New York City was an action
packed one. We decided to set ourselves a challenge to see and do as much as we possibly
could, and that gave way to this video guide which highlights 50 of the top attractions.
In a city like New York this means we barely scratched the surface, but hopefully this
video will highlight the cornucopia of possibilities that is the Big Apple. Most journeys begin at Penn Station or Grand
Central Terminal, and if you arrive at the later you’ll be wowed by the building. We’re now visiting The High Line, which is
an old section of rail tracks that used to run from Chelsea all the way to the Meatpacking
district. This area has actually been reclaimed and turned into a park which is pretty cool. The Meatpacking District was once home to
markets, slaughterhouses, and packaging plants, but times have changed. Today you’ll find
a mixture of trendy restaurants, clubs and boutiques. The Village used to be a bohemian neighborhood
that drew artists and musicians, but today you’re more likely to find upper middle class
families living here. The streets are shaded and quiet, and it’s a nice place for a casual
stroll. Before coming to New York City there were
a few things I absolutely wanted to do and one of them was to walk across the Brooklyn
Bridge and I’m doing that right now. Completed in 1883, Brooklyn Bridge is one
of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. It connects the boroughs of Manhattan
and Brooklyn. Today we are over in Williamsburg which is
one of the more popular neighborhoods here in Brooklyn. It definitely has a very young
feel. I’m seeing a lot of twenty something year old’s and that means lots of flea markets,
independent restaurants and art galleries. Williamsburg has become quite popular given
its lower rent prices. University students and young professionals have been flocking
to this part of town. We got to see a lot of cool street art around
Williamsburg, including murals along Bedford, Fillmore, and Roebling. This is a massive park located in Brooklyn
and it was designed by the same landscape architects who brought Central Park to life. We are now visiting the historic district
of DUMBO and that stands for down under the Manhattan bridge overpass. You can walk along the riverfront for a great
view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and the Manhattan skyline. You can’t come to New York and not have a
slice of pizza. I can’t think of a better place to have it here than in Brooklyn. We were kind of tired from a long day of walking
and we decided to take a little break at Bryant Park. Low and behold we found that they have
free board games that anyone can use throughout the day. You’ll catch friends, couples, and families
playing games like chess, dominoes and scrabble. During the summer months, Bryant Park also
becomes a popular hangout spot for people looking to relax and even work on their tans. After visiting Bryant Park, you’ll want to
pop into the library for a look at the beautiful interior. The Staten Island Ferry is free of charge
and this makes it really popular with visitors who want to catch a glimpse of the Statue
of Liberty from a distance. If you want to get a closer look at Lady Liberty,
you’ll have to buy tickets to Liberty Island. If you make reservations well in advance,
you can even climb to the viewing platform inside the crown. Battery Park is located on the southern tip
of Manhattan. It is home to a few different memorials and you’ll also catch a lot of visitors
hanging out in this area as they wait to catch a ferry. Little Italy may be slowly shrinking, but
it’s still a great place to grab some Italian food & a gelato for dessert. Having both lived in South Korea, we were
thrilled to come across Manhattan’s own Little Korea. We seized the opportunity and found
a restaurant serving kimchi, pajeon, and kimchi bokkeum bap. If you’re looking for a bargain, Chinatown
is a fun place to visit. The storefronts usually spill onto the sidewalks. It’s one of the
few places where you can haggle on the price of things. Coney Island is all about good old fashioned
fun. You can ride roller coasters, stroll down the boardwalk, enjoy some beach time,
and then head over the Nathan’s Famous hot dogs. We happened to be here during a parade,
which explains why the streets were so busy. And that’s our next tip – if you’re here in
June, don’t miss the Mermaid Parade! We are now in the northwest end of Manhattan
visiting The Cloisters and this building was built in the Medieval architectural style
and it is home to some really lovely sculptures and paintings so we’re going to be visiting
those. The Cloisters will make you feel like you’ve
traveled over to Europe. This place a peaceful retreat from Manhattan’s busy streets. The Apollo is one of the most famous music
halls in New York City. Amateur Night is on Wednesdays, and it’s great for spotting upcoming
talent. We’re in Harlem for some soul food and we’ve
heard some great things about Sylvia’s. We can’t wait to go and have some fried chicken. We ended up having smothered chicken, and
it melted in our mouths. Delicious! While in the city we also dropped by the National
September 11 Memorial. We then made our way to Trinity Church which
holds one of the oldest burial grounds in Manhattan and is the final resting place of
many historic figures. We’re here now at Wall Street where millions
are made and lost. We’re now visiting the Lincoln Center, which
is a space that celebrates the performing arts. It is home to the opera, the ballet
and the theater. Art aficionados will love the possibilities
the Lincoln Center offers. While I wouldn’t recommend biking Manhattan’s
congested streets, Central Park really is a great place for a bike ride. If you’re looking
to cover a lot of ground, you can pick up a bike from one of the many rental shops. One thing you absolutely have to do when you
come to New York is watch a New York Yankees baseball game. Right now we’re at Yankee Stadium
and this is the most historic baseball franchise. They’ve won more World Series than any other
team. We have a very exciting day of museum hopping
ahead of us. Our first stop is the MET or the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I’m really
looking forward to browsing the different galleries. Admission to the Met is by suggested donation
only, meaning you can give whatever you can afford. This triangular shaped skyscraper is one of
the most iconic buildings in the city. If you approach the building from a certain angle
it looks 2-dimensional. Washington Square Park is popular with families
looking to cool down during the summer months. There is a large fountain where kids like
to climb and splash around. The park is also known for its arch which is reminiscent of
that in Paris. And while you visit Washington Square Park,
you can also take the opportunity to swing by the NYU campus. The National Museum of the American Indian
has a very interesting collection, and the best part is that admission is free of charge. The American Museum of Natural History is
located in the Upper West Side, and it has an extensive dinosaur collection. We are now in Times Square – the busiest intersection
in all of New York City. If you’re going to be visiting I recommend you come at night
time when all of the lights are on and it is just crowded. Times Square has often been nicknamed “The
Center of the Universe” and “The Crossroads of the World”. An estimated 330,000 people
pass through daily. Modern art lovers can pop into the MoMa for
a visit. A really fun way to get over to Roosevelt
Island is to take a cable car from Manhattan. This tramway runs from Manhattan to Roosevelt
Island and the ride lasts 3 minutes. It’s a fun way to get an aerial overview of the
city, but it’s also slightly unnerving if you don’t like heights! Ahh, Fifth Avenue is a shopping Mecca. The
street is lined with prestigious high-end boutiques, and it’s considered to be one of
the most expensive shopping streets in the world. The Top of the Rock Observation Deck is located
on the 70th floor and offers 360 degree unobstructed views. The Empire State Building was the world’s
tallest building for almost 40 years. While it has been surpassed many times since, it
still boasts some of the best views of New York City. Carnegie Hall is a concert venue and it often
plays host to classical performances. This morning we’re exploring Central Park
also known as the lungs of New York City. Now this park is massive and there are so
many different entrances. It is almost like a bit of a maze. If you really want to see
the park properly you’ve got to come several times and you’ve got to enter from different
vantage points. Central Park is massive and there are so many
places to visit within its boundaries. We managed to visit Belvedere Castle, the Great
Lawn, Shakespeare Garden, The Ramble, The Jackie Onassis Reservoir, the Alice in Wonderland
Statue, and we still left feeling like we barely scratched the surface. Strawberry Fields is a section of Central
Park dedicated to the memory of John Lennon. This was a place Lennon used to frequent,
and travelers from far and wide stop by to leave a rose and pay their respects. We’re just outside of the MET and I’ve got
a giant pretzel in my hand. It is piping hot. It is delicious. I’m going to try a bite.
It is really dough-y and wow is it ever salty. You can’t come to New York without taking
in a musical. There are so many different ones you can choose from Mama Mia to Phantom
of the Opera. We are here now at Madison Square Garden which
is home to the NHL’s New York Rangers one of the most historic hockey teams. This building
is one of the most famous in the whole world for entertainment. You can watch concerts,
you can watch shows. This is where lots of live performances happen. This is a memorial site to the unnamed free
and enslaved Africans who were buried here. It was only rediscovered in 1991. The cool thing about this intersection is
that it’s the point from which all official distances from New York City are measured. One of the best ways to get around New York
City is of course by Metro. I’ve got this MetroCard over here and I paid thirty dollars
and this has allowed me to go around the city for seven full days with unlimited use. If you want to really explore New York City,
we recommend picking up a MetroCard so that you can zip around the city with no restrictions.
It’s cheap and it’s efficient. And that concludes a look at our very busy
week in New York City. I’m still shocked we managed to cover so many attractions, but
the great thing about this city is that distances aren’t very long and there’s always something
really cool worth checking out around each corner. Have you been to New York? What are your favorite
things about this city? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below. For more travel and food videos, click subscribe!

JESUS LOVES HIS PEOPLE!
I preached on the corner of 42nd street! God led me to a group of missionaries who were ALREADY preaching there, and I said to them, God sent me from Berkeley to preach here in New York! Well, the lead missionary said, He's almost finished and she's next. The one who was "next" said Put her on next. I'm not in a hurry! So they put me on a mike, and pushed it close to my mouth! REPENT! JESUS HAS SAID THESE ARE MY PEOPLE. I LOVE MY PEOPLE. TELL MY PEOPLE, I'M SOON TO COME! As I preached, a man came from somewhere and grabbed my thumb! The lead missionary said to him, Talk to ME! Talk to ME! and to me she said, Go ahead and PREACH! The 'thunb grabber' said, SHE'S DISTURBING MY CUSTOMERS! A while later a WOMAN grabbed my thumb! She was told the same thing as the man. I finished the message, prayed with the missionaries, and headed for Chicago! The only things I bought in New York were post cards and an apple. My brother said, "An apple from the Big Apple! " 😊 HalleluJah! FUN!

The spot at where you filmed the meat packing district, is exactly the spot where Nelson Sullivan lived (he died 1989) – it's the building with the ivy leaf branch hanging from the roof all the way down to the front door (not seen in your video – you barely missed it at the very beginning of the meat packing shot). He filmed hundreds of hours of VHS video of 1980's New York (including the meat packing district as it were before it gentryfied). This is the channel dedicated to him:

If you don't live or work in NY it's simply crazy to visit it! It's very dirty, very expensive, ugly buildings, etc… Why don't plan few days in Miami, it's very clean, very beautiful and fantastic beach, excellent hotels- restaurants and prices are affordable!

Great video guys! I always enjoy seeing your travels 🙂 I've lived in NYC for 2 years now and you're right there really is no city quite like it. I love living here so much. One of my favourite things about the city is that it's so beautiful in every season, gorgeous in the summer, but in a few weeks when it's fall and orange leaves are everywhere in Central park … that's my favourite time of year here I think 🙂 Yep I totally agree taking the cable car from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island you really to get the most amazing views of the city. Two of me and hubby's favourite things to do is having an ice cream in Little Italy and hiring out a rowing boat in Central park for a picnic. This city is never boring 🗽

Things I like to do that they didn’t mention:
One World Trade Center (Buy tickets in Advanced or you’ll have to wait a while to get in,avoid the Empire State Building (Long Lines And Way too Expensive) You get better views at One World Trade Center And Top Of The Rock anyway
Take the subway to SoHo. Fun neighborhood full of shops,art galleries,restaurants,bakeries and beautiful apartments
Be careful in Times Square. Don’t take pictures with costume characters. Don’t buy CD’s from fake rappers on the streets. Don’t eat at the chain restaurants. Go to the Marriot Marquis and eat dinner their. See a Broadway show and look out for pickpocketing.
Avoid the Bronx except Riverdale and the Botanical Gardens are fun. Brooklyn Heights is a calm little neighborhood with piece and quiet.Buy a souvenir at Dylan’s Candy Bar And Head to the Time Warner Center,check out the beacon theatre and Columbia University. See an off broadway play like the book of Mormons. Rockaway Beach in Queens is Fun. Go Celebrity Hunting in TriBeCa you might run into one.
