Travel Guide: New York - New York State - United States

Greenwich Village:

If the winding streets of this historic neighborhood could talk, they would speak of poverty and prosperity, free love and socialism, gay rights and reform. 

Chinatown:

Chinatown New York City, the second largest Chinatown in the United States, is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manhattan.  The largest Chinatown outside of Asia is in San Francisco.  Founded in the late 1870's by Chinese immigrants, Chinatown offers a unique historical and cultural experience not found anywhere else in the world. Recently, some non-Asian hotspots have opened and created quite a stir.

Little Italy: 

Just walk across Canal Street from Chinatown and you will think you are in Italy.  Italian markets, Italian restaurants, Italian shops, etc.  If you like Italian food, this is the place to find genuine Italian cuisine.  You'll find Italian dishes that you have never seen on a menu in an Italian restaurant in Kansas City!

Chelsea:

Known for its many nightspots and art galleries, club goers party at Cheetah, Twilo and Rebar and Pastis.

Central Park: 

Bronx Zoo:

The largest metropolitan zoo in the United States, the Bronx Zoo comprises 265 acres of parklands and naturalistic habitats -- home to over 4,000 animals, many of which are endangered or threatened species. The Zoo contains a number of unique habitats -- areas designed to replicate the homes of their inhabitants as closely as possible. Jungle World, for instance, is an indoor rain forest where Asian gibbons, hornbills, tapirs, and many other rare species live among equally rare and beautiful plants and trees.  Himalayan Highland Habitat is the home of the red panda, snow leopard and white-naped crane.

Upper West Side:

Solid (often neo gothic or Victorian) architecture. Yuppies, successful artists and apartment-sharing twenty somethings flocked here. Today, the buildings along Central Park West house some of the city's most notoriously picky co-op boards (Jerry Seinfeld, approved; Madonna, denied).  Also, adding much color is the world's premiere Jewish Orthodox singles scene.  One cannot venture north of 90th Street on Amsterdam or Columbus Avenues without noticing.

The Bronx:

Home to the New York Yankees, the Bronx offers much to visitors and citizens alike.
