Exciting Places To Visit In New York City

Whether you are a resident or a visitor, everyone loves New York. The beauty and vibrancy are second to none, and Manhattan is everything you thought it would be, and so much more!

I've done a great deal of exploring since I became a resident of Manhattan and the diverse people and places just blows me away. The only problem with New York is the sheer size of it; you never feel fully part of it, however hard you try.

These are my favorite parts of Manhattan, When you come to New York I want you see this wonderful city through my eyes, not through a tourist brochure. Trust me, you'll love it!

My first stop is the fabulous East Village. I visit this area regularly for the great bars and restaurants, try them out yourself.

Although primarily catering to those in the 20-30 age bracket, there is such an amazing selection of restaurants, bars, shops and lounges. They all nestling together in an area that can only be, at the most, one square mile. As you go further down, you enter the Lower East side, which is very like the East Village.

If you are looking for somewhere that caters more for those out of the East Village age bracket, head for the West Village. The trees that line the sidewalks outside the boutiques and cafes add to the attraction of this area. If you like a lively atmosphere coupled with lovely scenery, this is the place for you.

If Bohemia isn't your style and you want to spend some time at one with nature, then head for the Upper West Side. This area is home to the world famous Central Park, a beautiful place to relax for a few hours and watch the world go by.

I hope I've got across you what a great place Manhattan is, and that no trip to New York is complete without visiting this wonderful borough. Oh there's more, believe me, but that's enough for today!
