New York is the protagonist of countless movies and songs that speak of the history of Times Square, the emblematic skyscraper of the Empire State, the Statue of Liberty and its neighborhoods Harlem, Tribeca, Soho or the Lower East Side, which are some of the places what to know in a visit to this great city such as:
Brooklyn county
Brooklyn is emblematic in The Big Apple. While mainstream tourists tend to focus exclusively on Manhattan, you have to ride the subway to enjoy some of the best restaurants, nightlife, and architecture in New York.
With more than 2,5 million people and 80 different neighborhoods, Brooklyn is a huge city, diverse in its own right, home to the trendiest and most avant-garde restaurants, cafes and bars in New York. And for vibrant ethnic enclaves and points of interest, Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Museum and the Brooklyn Academy of Music stand out.
Food in Manhattan
On this island located at the mouth of the Hudson River visitors can embark on a wildly affordable and delicious street food tour of the city such as Dosa Man in Washington Square Park, Dutchy Jamaican on 51st and 30th streets in Midtown and the Falafel King at XNUMXth and Broadway.
Chinatown in Queens
For a true taste of authentic Hunan, Fujian, and even Dongbei cuisine, head to the Flushing neighborhood in northern Queens County. The host of the 1964 World's Fair, the annual U.S. Open tennis tournament and the Mets baseball team is the new nexus of Chinese culture in New York. Nearly half of Flushing's population is from Asia, and half of China.
Little known museums
There are museums that are highly visited such as the Solomon R. Guggenheim, MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History or the Rose Center for Earth and Space, which leaves second to other museums that can be discovered.
The Frick Collection, for example, is a premier art museum with notable works by El Greco, Goya, Rembrandt, and Titian, to name just a few. While the Whitney Museum of American Art, it has a permanent collection of more than 18.000 works.
On the other hand, The Studio Museum in Harlem is tiny by comparison with elegance but chronicles the vast creative output of a diverse African-American community. Last but not least, the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum is a major chapter in a little-known team as the Smithsonian Institution.
