There is nowhere else in the world quite like New York City. That can make visiting or writing a travel guide about the city a challenging proposition. It also means the options for visitors are endless.

There are more than 1,000 things to do in the City That Never Sleeps. That overwhelming number of possibilities means there is something for everyone. Popular sites like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are among the most recognizable places in the country.

The best advice is to take the Big Apple one bite at a time. Know the sites that you want to see and build and an itinerary around those places.

While Manhattan is the borough most people think of when they think of New York, be sure to wander off the beaten path and take in some of the “others.” Brooklyn and Queens are more popular than ever.

For first-time visitors, there are some great ways to experience the city cheaply and easily, such as heading to a park or grabbing a hot dog from a street vendor or taking a bagel to Central Park to enjoy a bit of the great outdoors in the middle of the concrete jungle.
