Lower Manhatten
Lower Manhattan has, perhaps, a more palpable sense of history than any other part of the city. Bowling Green Park, a little patch of green near the tip of the island, is where Dutch general Peter Minuit bought the whole island of New Amsterdam from the .... Click Here for More

China Town Little Italy and Nolita
The cluttered, untidy streets of Chinatown can be brash and overwhelming, but with the right attitude their fluorescent lights and kitschy spirit can also be a hoot. Home to roughly 125,000 of New York’s 400,000 Chinese inhabitants and almost as many faux designer accessories, Chinatown has .... Click Here for More

SoHo and Tribeca
If the hustle and bustle of Chinatown is too much, a short stroll away lies SoHo, Manhattan’s eternally hip and stylish district. Architecturally as good-looking as its inhabitants, SoHo continues its run as the city’s cast-iron delight. The area’s beautiful ironwork was developed .... Click Here for More

Greenwich Village and Chelsea
The area of Manhattan now known as Greenwich Village was first developed as farmland by the Dutch in the 17th century, gradually becoming a desirable residential area of large land plots and notable mansions. By the 19th century the Village’s crooked layout was already well established, so i .... Click Here for More

Lower East Side and East Village
The working-class Lower East Side may not be beautiful yet its history-laden, grungy streets are among the most interesting  destinations on New York’s social scene. Puerto Rican bodegas share space with restaurants, boutiques, live music venues and galleries to create an all-night buzz .... Click Here for More

Flatiron District and around
Flowers, park benches and a farmer’s market have made spruced-up Union Square a popular spot for lunchers, strollers and dog lovers, students, breakdancers and peace protesters, who consider this the gateway to Downtown. From the square, Broadway leads north through the Flatiron District, h .... Click Here for More

Midtown
Midtown is the crossroads of Manhattan, the bustling business and commercial centre of the city, sitting smack in the middle of the island. Hordes of tourists mix with workers in business suits during the day and, by night, the neon blitz of Broadway puts on a show. Midtown can seem flashy, aust .... Click Here for More

Upper East Side
The opulent Upper East Side stretches between 59th Street and 96th Street and is dominated by the decidedly upper-crust reaches of Fifth Avenue and Park Avenue, with pricey designer shops and fancy brasseries lining Madison Avenue in the 70s and .... Click Here for More

Harlem
Harlem spreads north of Central Park between 110th and 145th Streets. Since the 1920s, this neighbourhood has been the centre of black culture in New York, producing some of the best in music, art, dance and politics. Tucked into a sizeable and lively area are some lovely homes, gospel churches, .... Click Here for More

Around the City
Although first-time visitors may feel spellbound by Manhattan, the outer boroughs provide a quick escape if the city centre grind leaves you dizzy. Tucked into these neighbourhoods are parks, museums, interesting architecture, some great views of the city and undoubtedly the most genuine New York .... Click Here for More

North Manhattan and the Bronx
Venture up to northern corner of Manhattan Island to enjoy the leafy tranquillity of Fort Tryon Park and the timeless medieval spirit of The Cloisters. The park looks out over the Hudson River to the Palisades in New Jersey and is one of the mos .... Click Here for More

Brooklyn
Brooklyn was once called the city of homes and churches, due to a large influx of immigrants in the 1800s. By the mid-19th century it was the third-largest city in the USA but following the invention of the first passenger elevator in Manhattan in 1857, Brooklyn fell out of favour as developers ....

Queens
Queens' charm lies in its many faces, foods and languages. A huge variety of ethnic groups – Irish, Greek, Korean, Chinese, Cuban, Irish, Brazilian, Vietnamese – call this borough home, so that a visit here feels like a trip around the world. Take the Number 7 subway out, dubbed the Na .... Click Here for More

Staten Island
The leafy streets and big parks of Staten Island make many locals want to keep their slice of the city independent from other boroughs’ problems and have even voted to secede the city in past years. While most short-term visitors don’t make this primarily residential borough a high-pri .... Click Here for More
