For those people that think they can visit the top American city for a long weekend, think again, as you will be hard pushed to see everything it has to offer in seven days in New York. Of course the first port of call should really be the Empire State Building, especially a trip to the eighty sixth floor. Some people swear that it is better to visit the top floor of the Rockefeller Center but you really do need a clear day to fully appreciate the view. Tour boats can take visitors out to see the big lady 'The Statue of Liberty' but be prepared for long delays these days; the view of her from Ellis Island is an option worth considering.
As an alternative why not go to Staten Island via the free ferry and look at the Statue of Liberty from there; dropping off at the terminal is the best place because it is where there are some good street artists. Probably on everyone's list is where the World Trade Center Towers once stood.
While there is a strange eeriness about the place that is larger than you expect at the same time it does not feel as if it needs to be photographed. For those who love to shop there is of course the famous Tiffany's and Broadway plus some fantastic old discount warehouses worth a look down on the Lower East Side.
Bloomingdales is another famous store (for the wealthy) to look around but it is Maceys, who will give 11 percent discount on production of a tourist card where most people will head for. An excellent tourist location is the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum which is likely to be closed until the end of 2008; although often underestimated, once it opens its doors again, it will be well worth a visit. There is a great deal there with the USS Intrepid taking center stage being a Second World War aircraft carrier but there is a Concorde and other underwater vessels there too. The New York City Police Museum is worth an hour if you're down that way; it's free to enter but a five dollar donation is recommended to help with its upkeep; many TV viewers have grown up with the cop shows set in New York and a large amount of memorabilia is housed here.
The migrant period of New York is highlighted in an excellent exhibition at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum where scenes of what made America a great place to be are alongside of scenes America would like to forget. For a step back in time it worth going to Central Park where the New York Museum is located; this is an exhibition of many periods relating to the life of The Big Apple. The venue is also free but relies on donations and souvenirs to survive; generally visitors provide a donation of approximately 9 dollars. Most visitors seem to be on a flying visit so end up missing some of the most beautiful areas and that's why seven days in New York should really be the minimum stay.
