I&#039;ve been lucky enough to visit it extensively many times. Whether in the humid heat of summer or under the Christmas lights, this city has so much to offer in all seasons. Here I&#039;m presenting it by neighborhood. Downtown \/ Tribeca Center of commerce and finance, Downtown lives to the rhythm of its symbol, Wall Street. At the southern tip stands the Statue of Liberty. It is outlined in the axis of the One World Trade Center tower, whose glass spire culminates at 541 m on the site of Ground Zero. At its foot, Reflecting Absence uses the site with two pools representing the imprints of the twin towers. Their perimeter is engraved with the list of names of the victims of the 2001 attacks. A little further on the site, the 9\/11 Memorial Museum, with its many rooms, like in a labyrinth. We walk with photos, debris and objects belonging to the victims as a backdrop. To the north, Tribeca (Triangle Below Canal St), where you will find industrial buildings transformed into lofts and chic restaurants TO DO To see the sunset over Manhattan for 25 minutes aboard the Staten Island Ferry (4 South Street) For 1$, you can discover your destiny on a temple scroll at MAHAYANA (133 Canal Street). I did it personally during one of my trips at least 4 years ago Unmissable shopping stop: Century 21 (22 Cortland St), the supermarket of brands. You can find sales on major brands ranging from 40 to 70% I always take advantage of my stops in New York to buy new Levi&#039;s jeans. Used to jeans costing around 100 euros when I lived in France, how can I say that jeans at 30$ are definitely worth the detour \ud83d\ude09 Stroll through Battery Park: ideal for a picnic, facing Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty SOHO\/ GREENWICH VILLAGE \/ CHELSEA Located along the Hudson, these neighborhoods became the darling of artists and intellectuals in the 50s. Soho is full of showrooms and restaurants. Around Washington Square, &quot;The Village&quot;, is home to a large gay community. In Chelsea, there are many contemporary art galleries. Unmissable: The High Line, planted along an old railway line that connects the Meatpacking District to 34 St. It has become one of the favorite walks of New Yorkers, between views of the Hudson and artist installations. TO DO Evening at the Comedy Cellar: if your English is good, you will have a good laugh in this club which saw the debut of the greatest American comedians (117, McDougal St) Is it time for an aperitif? Enjoy Basque tapas at TXIKITO (240, 9th Ave) Swimming pool, DJ, the perfect rooftop at STANDARD (848 Washington St) Stroll along the aisles of Chelsea Market, a bohemian market including a Japanese chef for sushi on demand, soup bar, Italian deli etc. CHINATOWN \/ NOLITA \/ LOWER EAST SIDE \/ EAST VILLAGE With the successive waves of immigrants, strolling along these neighborhoods, we take a real world tour of cultures Further north, East Village, brings together many young and trendy bars and restaurants. TO DO A good brunch address very popular: chez Prune (54 E 1 st) Want a good snack? The fresh donuts from Doughnut Plant (379 Grand St) will delight you. There&#039;s something for everyone: filled with cr\u00e8me br\u00fbl\u00e9e, matcha, carrot cake, or even squares. TIMES SQUARE \/ THEATER DISTRICT \/ ROCKFELLER CENTER In the heart of the theater district, with its thousands of illuminated billboards, this is THE place to be for any tourist in New York. A true nerve center of the theater district, it&#039;s ideally visited at night, to soak up the atmosphere and the lights. Further north, Rockefeller Center is a true showcase of Art Deco. Another must-see: its summit, the Top of the Rock, embraces the entire Big Apple. Not far from there, the MOMA, which houses the world&#039;s richest permanent collection of modern and contemporary art. TO DO Entertainment lovers, take the opportunity to treat yourself to a ticket to a musical. There are all kinds, you&#039;ll be spoiled for choice. There isn&#039;t a time I haven&#039;t been to New York or seen a show. It&#039;s my little treat that I give myself every time. As mentioned above, climb to the Top of the Rock (30, Rockfeller Plaza) for a spectacular view of the city. Choose this summit over the Empire State Building. TV series fans, stop by the HBO store (1100 Av 5th of the Americas) Best brunch (in the world according to some), go to NORMA&#039;S (119 W 56th St), located in the Parker M\u00e9ridien Stop shopping at Macy&#039;s, receives 35,000 visitors per day and claims to be the largest store in the world (151 W 34th St\/Broadway) Ice skating around the Rockefeller Center tree during the holiday season (well, of course, you can imagine it&#039;s always crowded but a unique experience) MIDTOWN EAST \/ 5TH AVENUE Between 5th Avenue and the East River, this part of the city offers a beautiful architectural stroll. The UN headquarters, the Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building are located there. 5th Avenue, which needs no introduction, is the street of big brand boutiques. To name a few: Tiffany &amp; Co, this luxury jewelry store, is a stop often offered in private excursions. Stop in front of the windows of Macy&#039;s, a real spectacle in any season. A little bonus for the end-of-year holiday season, where the decorations, lights and themes of their windows delight young and old alike. TO DO Shopping if your wallet allows it of course \ud83d\ude09 Go for a walk in the lobby of Grand Central, the scene of many films (E 42nd Street \/ Park Ave) Visit St. Patrick&#039;s Cathedral on 5th Avenue, the largest Catholic cathedral in the United States Sit on the stairs of the New York Public Library. Adorned with two marble lions, it is a very popular place for New Yorkers (455 5th Ave \/ W 42nd St) UPPER WEST SIDE A luxurious neighborhood popular with celebrities, Lincoln Center is the temple of music, dance and theater From Columbus Circle to Broadway, bars and restaurants welcome night owls after the shows. From Lincoln Center, you can go for a stroll along Central Park TO DO On your way to get lost in Central Park, stop at Levain Bakery, clearly the best cookies in the world (167 W 74th St) The store is unassuming and there are no options to sit there, only takeaway, but there is clearly a before and after after tasting these nuggets \ud83d\ude09 Attention lovers of sweet pleasures! Many salad bars have developed in recent years in New York, with this pace of life of eating on the go, of taking express lunch breaks. The Aroma Express Bar located at 169 W 72 St, offers you copious amounts of them. During the holiday season, a large ice rink is installed in Central Park, and many people gather there. With a unique view of the buildings, although the noise absorbed in the middle of this greenery, it&#039;s just a moment out of time. The New York of your Christmas movies truly! UPPER EAST SIDE This neighborhood is crossed by three large avenues: Museum Mile, lined with the Met, the Guggenheim, and rich mansions. Madison Avenue collects the great fashion designers. Park Avenue, more residential, lines up opulent buildings guarded by doormen. TO DO Always the possibility of strolling in Central Park via one of its many entrances. Be entertained in one of the many museums there like the Met or the Guggenheim. Go window shopping at Barney&#039;s at 660 Madison Avenue, located on 7 floors, it is the showcase of prominent designers with a huge accessories department. Or at Bloomingdale&#039;s (1000 3rd Ave \/ E 59th St). AWAY FROM THE CITY Harlem, historic stronghold of New York&#039;s Black community, gospel, jazz, and real Southern cuisine. Don&#039;t miss attending at least one gospel mass, full of singing and excitement, if you&#039;re passing through. It&#039;s definitely worth the detour! Brooklyn Heights At the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge, you&#039;ll find Brooklyn Heights, which exudes provincial charm. The view from this side of the bridge of the New York skyline is simply magnificent. You can cross the bridge on foot or by bike, all year round, to arrive in Brooklyn. A superb walk in perspective, although there are always a lot of people there, no matter the time of year. Williamsburg The new trendy neighborhood of recent years, still in Brooklyn. To escape the city&#039;s real estate boom, people have migrated to this side of the bridge. Here, Bedford Avenue vibrates with its bars and vintage shops. Further north, Queens is only 15 minutes from Grand Central Terminal. Coney Island One of my discoveries during one of my last summer stays, the possibility of going to the beach just by taking the subway (lines D or N) from the center of New York In fact, in just 1 hour you reach the Coney Island pier, its large beach and its funfair. If you have several days in the Big Apple, go for it!<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1292,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28,22],"tags":[108,160,159,161,162],"class_list":["post-1277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-usa","category-voyages","tag-city-guide","tag-grosse-pomme","tag-new-york","tag-statue-liberte","tag-times-square"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
