I.AM.VAGABOND - New York City, New York

New York - Center of the World

You might call New York City the best city in the world or you may argue wholeheartedly against it yet you will no doubt agree that, here's such a diversity of cultures, beliefs, food and fashion in this city that New York seems to represent the world rather than just America.

As a tourist, in this city, you will have plenty to choose from in terms of attractions and experiences.

#1. It's always pretty to see New York City's ever famous skyline and try to name some of the skyscrapers or its famous bridges and islands.

#2. Statue of Liberty is on Ellis Island and you will need a ferry ride to reach it

#3. Brooklyn Bridge is picture perfect bridge along with being an engineering masterpiece which was once the world's longest suspension bridge

#4. 9/11 Memorial & Museum is home to One World Trade Center, the tallest skyscraper in the Western Hemisphere (sixth-tallest in world)

#5. Times Square is the place you have heard of and seen in so many movies and yes, you can spend an entire day here

#6. Central Park showcases 843 acres of greenery, walking trails and water bodies in the very heart of Manhattan

#7. Empire State Building and Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center offer incredible views of the city

#8. Wall Street maybe just a street, but it's the Wall Street. It is home to some of the world's most important exchanges, including the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ and the Federal Reserve nearby

#9. Museum Mile showcases some of the world class museums like The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Neue Galerie, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the National Academy Museum & School, Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of the City of New York and El Museo del Barrio

#10. Additionally, don't forget Grand Central Terminal, Yankee Stadium, Flushing Meadows Corona Park is known for the US Open and Coney Island, which might be considered top attractions in any other city

#11. Lastly, food. Well, if you don't find something here that will become part of your permanent food memory, then you might not be in New York. This city offers an eclectic range of dining options from all around the world and at prices ranging from cheap to maxing out your credit card. If nothing else just takes a slice of that New York pizza and let us know

By just looking at the pictures, especially how the folks comfortably sit on benches in different areas, I can feel how relaxing it is to go around Barcelona. Anyway, nice photos, and I have to say that the 1st image really is stiking! It's not everyday that you see a beautiful lady in a red dress riding on two wheels ;)

It is so good to see Barcelona through someone else's eye. Seems like you had a good time. Lovely photos!

For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The great affair is to move.

All the pathos and irony of leaving one's youth behind is thus implicit in every joyous moment of travel: one knows that the first joy can never be recovered, and the wise traveler learns not to repeat successes but tries new places all the time.
