The newspaper strips, which you will see through the paint, make the picture historically meaningful. The queue to get in the MoMA is usually quite long. If you decide to go to the museum, you should buy tickets online so that you can beat the queue.

Central Park is also the site of the New York Marathon’s final 3.2 miles. The most famous jogging track stretches for 1.58 miles around the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir and offers some of the best skyline views in the park. Cyclists will find something to suit them with a choice of hilly or flat terrain. If you visit the park in spring, you’ll see cherry trees in full bloom, and in summer you might see people sailing model boats on a pond called ‘Conservatory Water’. Central Park closes at 1 a.m. and opens at 6 a.m., 365 days a year.

On April 7th 1930, the first steel columns were set, and on March 31st 1931, it was finished. The Empire State Building is the number one tourist attraction in the region, so you really should make time to visit it. The building is 443 m tall to the top of its antenna spire. If you take one of the speedy elevators, you’ll be able to go to the 86th floor, where there are both indoor and outdoor viewing areas. If the sky is clear, and you’re not afraid of heights, you might want to go to the viewing area on the 102nd floor. The Empire State Building is open every day, 365 days a year, rain or shine1, 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. Tip: If you catch the last elevator up at 1.15 a.m., you’ll experience a breathtaking view of the Big Apple at night.

They share the stadium with another NFL team, the New York Jets. The stadium is situated in East Rutherford in New Jersey. It’s easy to reach by public transport via Secaucus Junction. Joanne Sinshu from Leeds, England, was quite impressed when she visited: “This is the second football stadium I’ve been to. It’s so big and spacious – and the atmosphere is great! If you want to buy a ticket, you might be shocked by the price – it’s over $120! But on the other hand, you might be pleasantly surprised by the drinks – a soda costs only $3.” The stadium also hosts wrestling, soccer and pop concerts.
