Top 10 Best Places To Visit In All Of New York City

I used to live in the iconic New York City and I want to show you some of my favorite places. So here’s my New York top 10. New York, is one of the world’s most popular locations. With its massive skyscrapers, diverse cultures, and hustle-and-bustle atmosphere, it’s a place that needs to be experienced. I was fortunate enough to live in New York for a few months while I was doing an internship. The city lifestyle quickly grew on me and it was an experience that I’ll forever be grateful for all right.

1.     Brooklyn Bridge

So, let’s start the article off at one of my favorite destinations, the Brooklyn Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most photogenic places in New York. It’s this massive bridge that connects the borough of Brooklyn to Manhattan. The bridge was finished in 1883 and it has become one of New York’s, most popular attractions. When I lived here, I used to love walking across the bridge and enjoying the views of Manhattan in the water below it’s free to walk across, and the pedestrian walkway is about 1.1 miles each way. So it’s a great workout, just be careful of all the people on bikes they get pretty mad if you get in their line.

Anyways the bridge is a great place to experience during the day and it gets even more stunning at night because you’ll be able to see the city lights. I got a cool day-to-night Hyperlapse, when I was there took me a long time to do anyway, I just love the Brooklyn Bridge. It’s just a great place to hang out so definitely add that to your New York City bucket list, all right.

2.     Brooklyn Bridge Park

So after the Brooklyn Bridge, we’re going to go down to the nearby Brooklyn Bridge Park, it’s an 85-anchor Waterfront Park that stretches on Brooklyn’s East River shoreline. If you want to get beautiful views of Manhattan, this is the place to go it’s right on the water. So you’ll be able to see the boats go by and as well get a great view of the bridges. One of my favorite places in the park is the Main Street part which is situated between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge, its waterfront with the backdrop of the cities in between the two bridges creates one of the most photogenic places, I got some of my all-time favorite time lapses. There it’s just a wonderful location, day or night, and give it a visit alright.

3.     Oculus

So after the park was head over to the Oculus now this is one of the most bizarre architectural structures. I’ve ever seen. It was awarded the design of the year in 2016. It’s located right next to the 9/11 Memorial and its unique design symbolizes the light that continues to shine through the darkness of the tragedy of the Twin Towers, so it serves as a terminal station and also a state-of-the-art shopping mall when you go inside you’re going to be amazed by how big it is. I mean these white beams are huge and they reminded me of a giant rib cage. I love how much natural light comes in. I mean just create such a great and bright atmosphere and it’s just a standing location with the powerful symbolic significance got to go check that out all right.

4.     The Vessel

So after the oculus will head over to another one of New York’s, most unique architectural structures The Vessel, the structure is just recently opened, cost an estimated two hundred million dollars to build, and features a hundred and fifty-four interconnected staircases with nearly 2,500 steps and 80 landings. So it’s free to explore this, but you need to get a ticket, so you might need to go reserve your tickets online beforehand to make sure you get a spot anyways. When I was there. This was completed, so I wasn’t able to check it out. But when I’m back can’t wait to go experience the vessel.

5.     Times Square

All right so after we’re in a head over to probably the most famous place in New York City Times Square. Times Square is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations and brings in about 50 million people a year that’s a lot of people, I mean it’s full of thousands of lights and advertisements almost overwhelming and there’s just so much energy there. There are entertainers on the street. It’s just a good time there, with a lot of action going on.

I would love just go in there and just have their fun. One thing I love about New York is, that you can do random things and nobody even cares. I did like just splits and handstands in the street, I also did one of my longest Hyperlapse that has ever crossed the square. It was like a mile long. It took thousands of photos to get it. You got to visit Times Square, just one of the coolest places ever all right.

6.     Central Park

So now we’re going to take a little nature walk in Central Park. Central Park opened in 1876, and it’s now known as one of the most famous parks with an estimated 38 million visitors each year. So it’s about 843 anchors. It’s located right between the Upper East and West Side of Manhattan, so it’s home to beautiful bridges, there are tons of walkways. If you can like a jog or ride a bike and there’s a lot of grassy areas, we can just chill relax play catch whatever you can even rent a boat and take it wrong great little date idea, it’s just a beautiful contrast between the hectic city life, whoever had the idea to build a park in the middle of the world’s most popular city was absolute genius. I mean this is just such a cool place and everyone should give it a visit all right.

7.     Flatiron Building

So after Central Park, we’re going to visit one of New York’s, most popular structures, the Flatiron Building. Now the Flatiron is a triangular 22-story building that has 280 feet tall when it was completed in 1902. It was one of the tallest buildings in New York City at 20 floors high, so its unique design and structure have made it one of the world’s most iconic skyscrapers and a quintessential symbol of New York City nearby you got the Madison Square Park, which is another cool place to relax. You got some beautiful restaurants. This is a cool place to get some pictures. It’s just such a unique shape for a building, and its outside parents have made it an enduring symbol of New York for more than a century.

8.     New York Subway

So for our next destination, we’re going to go visit the New York Subway, so the subway, is a specific place, but something that everyone has to experience trust me. It’s a whole other real down there. Once you go down these stairs into the subway, you realize what I mean when I was living in New York. I would spend about 40 minutes on the subway each way as I was going to work well, I didn’t love being crammed in a subway with a bunch of people. It’s a memory that I’ll always remember.  Sometimes you just get some really weird people down there, but that’s New York. You got to love it anyways. If you want to use the subway, you can get a Metro card if you want to get a 7-day, pass that’ll cost you about $ 33 or if you just want to jump on the subway once it’s about 2.75 for each ride right.

9.     Staten Island Ferry

So after the subway, where they go experience, another form of New York’s transportation, the Staten Island Ferry. Now, if you want to get beautiful views of the city, you got to do this ferry ride. You may recognize the ferry from the spider-man Hong Kong movie. The villain cut the ferry in half and spider-man has to hold it together until Ironman saves the day anyway, it’s a free ride, which is so awesome and it goes 24/7. I just don’t recommend going on the freight during rush hour now to get on the boat you can go to the Whitehall terminal, which is at the tip of lower Manhattan.

The ferry will take you over Staten Island, so the boat takes off every 30 minutes and it’s a 25-minute boat ride. You know: what’s cool about the bull ride is you’re going to get some amazing views of lower Manhattan and you’ll get close to the Statue of Liberty, and this is by far the best bargain in New York City, and it’s just one of the memorable things You can do during your stay so make sure take advantage of that free ferry ride when you visit New York,

10.  Manhattan Bridge

Alright for our last destination, we can head over to the epic Manhattan Bridge, so the Manhattan Bridge is located right next to the Brooklyn Bridge. I have to say it’s not as glamorous or touristy as the Brooklyn Bridge, but it’s still a unique place to check out. The bridge is over 100 years old, it spans over six thousand eight hundred and fifty-five feet when I walked across it I went through the entrance, which is right next to Chinatown, know, there’s this cool arch at the entrant. I walked across it and I was able to get some incredible views of the city.

I got some of my favorite time lapses on top of there, you’re going to get a magnificent view of Manhattan, combined with the Brooklyn Bridge. Now, if you want to get an Instagram-worthy photo, you can walk down to the nearby Washington Street. This is a one-way street that lines up perfectly with the Manhattan Bridge, so you can get that great photo. I just suggest going early in the morning because the street can get packed with tourists during the day.

Well, that is it for my New York top ten.
