The best places to check out in New York City

Interesting places that you better not miss when visiting New York City.

If you are planning to travel around the states and discover different places, then New York is a city that you need to keep in mind. Especially if you are a winter-loving person like me, you will definitely enjoy New York's snow! New York is a big, crowded city with a unique aesthetic and so many nice places to visit and enjoy.

To start, if you have ever talked with someone who visited New York, then they would often talk about Times Square. One of the most famous places in New York, lined with huge, brilliantly lit billboards and screens, Times Square is the place to go in New York. Times Square is busy and perpetually crowded but has its own unique appeal. Bleachers set up at one end are a great place to take a break and appreciate the scene.

Furthermore, if you like M&M's and want to design your own in a unique experience, then absolutely visit M&M's World.

Secondly, America's most iconic sight, the Statue of Liberty is at the top of every first-time visitor's list of things to do in New York. It was France's gift to America. Built in 1886, it remains a world symbol of freedom. On a tour of the Statue of Liberty, you have the option to stop at Ellis Island and explore the Immigration Museum. If you are a history lover, then I know you will appreciate the statue and the museum. Not to mention, New York City has other museums that would be interesting for history people, like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History.

For people who are interested in theaters and entertainment, New York also has a bunch of places to be visited. Of course, attending a Broadway show is one of the top things to do in New York City. Considered the pinnacle of American theater, this is the place to see the latest shows and the long-running classics. You might also want to visit Radio City Music Hall. The 1932 art deco theater offers musical extravaganzas and films and is the home of the dance company, The Rockettes.

To sum up, New York is a city that is suitable for anyone who likes the crowdedness. You can be a winter person, a history person, or just looking for fun to enjoy the amazing city of New York.
