Welcome to the amazing city of New York. This east coast United States area is held in high regard amongst local and international travellers alike, as it is a haven of activity, perfect for enjoying a well-earned break. With so much to do and an endless list of places to visit, New York has something for everyone to enjoy. Take in the amazing views from the Statue of Liberty, head down to Broadway and catch a wonderful production or book a ticket at Madison Square Garden for whatever extravaganza is happening at that venue. Other must see attractions include Times Square, Coney Island and the iconic Fifth Avenue, which is a high-end shopping paradise.

For a bit of cosmopolitan adventure and a nice change in pace, head over to Chinatown, located on the lower east side of Manhattan. Not only is it the largest Chinatown in the U.S., but it is also home to the biggest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere. Even though it is the preferred destination of Chinese immigrants, in recent years the neighbourhood has become more diverse and welcomed in Dominicans, Puerto Ricans. Filipinos and other cultures. Chinatown is visited by thousands of curious tourists on a daily basis all eager to see this famed and mysterious village; it has become well known for its restaurants, which serve the best Chinese food in town, its jewellery stores, which stock quaint and charming pieces, temples and crowded streets.

While in Chinatown, places to visit include the Museum of Chinese in the Americas, which gives an historical account of Chinese migration to America; Chatham Square where two important statues are erected in honour of heroes who have made significant contributions to Chinese society, and Mahayana Buddhist temple. A day at Chinatown promises to be both an exhilarating and unforgettable experience.
