We tour New York City

New York City is one of the largest cities in the world. He is the protagonist of novels, films, songs and television series. Home to world-famous and visually stunning skyscrapers. Economic, cultural and entertainment center.

New York City has an area of ​​788 km² and is distributed in five states or boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx and Staten Island.

Originally known as Long Acre (also Longacre) Square after London’s carriage district. In the late 1880s, electricity transformed this large open space surrounded by drab apartments.

Today, Times Square is the classic image of New York City. With huge advertising signs and a multitude of lights, its square is the epicenter of activity in the area. This plaza is located at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue.

The lights of Times Square illuminate restaurants, theaters, museums and a vibrant atmosphere. One of the emblematic avenues is Broadway Avenue, which concentrates around 40 theaters, offering world-class musicals.

Of the enormous range of musicals represented, the most popular are The Lion King, Aladdin, Chicago, The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked and Les Miserables.

In addition to the vast cultural offering that Times Square offers, this square is home to the traditional descent of the sphere on New Year’s Eve. This event was organized for the first time on December 31, 1907 by Adolfo S. Ochs. Owner and editor of The New York Times newspaper from 1896 to 1935.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (Met) is the largest museum in New York City. It is one of the ten most visited in the world, with more than 6 million visitors annually.

The inauguration of the Metropolitan was in 1880, thanks to Robert Lee Jenkins who donated his private collection. Currently, the museum has a collection of more than two million objects.

Currently, the Met building in Central Park has an area of ​​18,000 m2 and exhibits works of art from more than 5,000 years of history, including all cultures and eras.

 Central Park is an undisputed symbol of New York City. It is also one of the largest urban parks in the world. This green oasis measures 843 acres and welcomes more than 42 million visitors a year.

This artificial park began its construction in 1857. Those responsible were the architect Calvert Vaux and the agronomist Frederick Law Olmsted. Which, some time later, would design Prospect Park in Brooklyn.

Its construction lasted two decades, and Central Park ended up becoming the first large public park in the United States.

This park is not only a great tourist attraction, with the economic impact that this implies. It also constitutes a space with great resonance in the physical, mental, environmental and cultural health of New York residents.

In addition to being the lungs of this great city, in Central Park you can organize events such as a picnic or your birthday. Likewise, the park also offers activities such as guided tours or film series to enjoy in summer and winter.

In Central Park there are 51 statues, the Bethesda Fountain, the John Lennon memorial and Belvedere Castle, home of the Meteorological Observatory. We also find the Egyptian Obelisk, which was ordered to be built by Pharaoh Thutmose III and brought from Alexandria in 1881.

The park is also home to New York City’s first zoo and a winter skating rink. Likewise, through the park you can reach museums such as the Natural History Museum, the Met and the Guggenheim.

Although Manhattan is the nerve center of New York, this iconic city has much more to offer in its different districts. Below, we present what you cannot miss if you visit this huge city.

Brooklyn was independent until 1898, when it was included as a borough of New York City. Its name derives from the Dutch city of Breukelen, which means “small marsh.”

It is the most populous borough in New York City and is second in popularity after Manhattan. Likewise, it has enormous cultural diversity in its independent neighborhoods.

The Brooklyn Bridge opened in 1883, and was the first steel cable suspension bridge. More than 100,000 vehicles, 4,000 pedestrians, and approximately 2,600 bicycles cross it daily.

As soon as you cross the bridge, you will find the DUMBO neighborhood. This neighborhood has a great cultural offer in the form of art galleries. Plus, you’ll have spectacular views of Manhattan.

Next to the Brooklyn Bridge, we also have a very sophisticated neighborhood, Brooklyn Heights. Historical figures such as Tom Wolfe, Arthur Miller and Truman Capote lived here.

Queens County is the largest of the boroughs that, since 1898, has been part of New York City. It is the most diverse county in the United States, as it is home to more than 100 ethnicities and more than 100 restaurants, according to the Eater.com portal.

The largest Chinatown in New York is the Flushing neighborhood. The Jackson Height neighborhood is totally multicultural, with 60% of its inhabitants born outside the United States.

In addition to Flushing and Jackson Heights, Long Island City and Astoria are two of the most famous neighborhoods in Queens. Other multicultural neighborhoods in Queens include Woodside, Elmhurst, Steinway and Ridgewood.

Thanks to its enormous multicultural offering, Queen is the ideal place to taste cuisine from different corners of the world in a single district. From Asian, Egyptian, Yemeni, Mexican, Colombian, Brazilian, Greek, Spanish and even Lebanese cuisine.
