New York City is more than just sky scrapers. It has great history, great politics, a roller coaster of fun and the money of course. It is no wonder that every visitor to NYC will not want to leave just as soon.
There are various things that make New York City irresistible. The most obvious is the transport system. It does not matter which part of the city you live in. You can conveniently navigate your way into any part of the metropolis. Second to that is that you will never feel strange in NYC. It does not matter which country or race you are from, you will always intermingle with so many people of your own. This has made it easy to also intermingle across citizenry, race or religion without much difficulty.
Sightseeing is one aspect of New York City that you should not miss. The Brooklyn Bridge should be high priority on your sightseeing list. You can take a walk of about 30 minutes on this first ever steel suspension bridge in the world.
Central park is ideal for bike rides or walks. It is one of the best kept in the world. The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine next door on 112th St is a cool attraction, yet it is not yet complete!
If you love art, then the theater and galleries of Chelsea on the Broadway between the 14-34th Sts is the place to be. You can catch a live performance or get yourself a good memorabilia. Of late, it is attracting a large number of straight population.
The Empire State Building, the Chinatown, Federal Reserve Bank, East Village and the Charging Bull cannot be missed at any cost. At this point, you may need to increase the period of your stay in NYC.
