Places to see In NewYork City

NewYork, NY – the financial capital of North America. Someone rightly said “New York is so amazing that they named it twice ;-)”. What all you can experience will depend on how many days you spend in the city. NY is a bouquet of different flowers that caters every visitor in its own way. From beaches to museums, from buildings to Monuments – You get everything you wish to see.
Must See Places: 
  • Ground Zero: Who doesn’t remember 9/11 – the day that shocked the whole of humanity. No matter where you stay during your visit to the city, Ground Zero should be the first one in your list of Places to visit. 
  • Freedom Tower: A stunning view of one of the tallest buildings in the world would not let you leave the place. WorldOne or the Freedom Tower is said to be the tallest building in the country. The restaurant on the 101st floor gives an amazing view of the NewYork skyline. You must visit the restaurant if you want to experience how it feels to be on top of the world.
  • Statue of Liberty: How can someone miss one of the seven wonders of the world? I am not going to write more about how it was built and what is the significance of this monument, as this is easily available in the internet. You will also get to learn about it when you enter the Liberty Island Ferry which you can get from the Battery Park – Lower Manhattan.
  • Brooklyn Bridge: The iconic Brooklyn Bridge is a show stopper. The view is magnificent and your tour will be incomplete if you do not walk pass the East River. You would have seen it in most of the Indian movies shot in NY and you could replay the scenes in your mind while walking on the bridge. 
  • Empire State Building: The second tallest building of the city. This one is famous for the light show which covers the building every evening with different colors. If you want, you can go to the 80th and the top floor and have a look at the NY skyline. 
  • PATH Station: As the name suggests, it is a train station. Underground train is the lifeline of NewYork city. PATH Station – also known as World Trade Center Station – is, in my opinion, the most beautiful railway station I have ever seen in my life. This one is huge and beautiful. This station connects the whole of NewYork with NewJersey. They have built a huge structure around and if you are visiting the Ground Zero, you must check this out. 
  • Time Square: Time Square is the most visited place in NewYork. The ambience is so awesome that you would spend hours without even realising it. The big screens all around will force you to click pictures, capture videos and go live in social media. 
  • Best Time to Visit : Whenever you have enough money 😋. NewYork is pretty expensive hence my suggestion would be to stay in NewJersey during your visit. April till November would be the best time as it gets really cold during winters.
    I tried sharing my experience off my visit to the city. Please let me know what you think about this blog and if you liked it, do not forget to share.

    Howrah Bridge

    In the heart of Kolkata, where the river flows, Stands an icon of marvel, where time surely slows. A majestic structure, a true work of art, The Howrah Bridge, a symbol etched in every heart. Spanning the mighty Ganges with grace and might, A gateway of dreams, a beacon in the night. Forged from iron and steel, a grand sight to behold, It connects two worlds, stories waiting to be told. Oh, Howrah Bridge, you're a silent witness, To tales of love and loss, joy and tenderness. On your ancient beams, memories are engraved, Whispered secrets, promises, never to be waived. As the sun sets, painting the sky in golden hue, Your shimmering lights dance, creating a magical view. A silhouette against the twilight, you proudly stand, Guarding the city, a sentinel of the land. Through monsoon rains and winds that fiercely blow, You remain steadfast, never faltering, a constant show. Vehicles and pedestrians, a ceaseless flow, Crossing your expanse, their dreams in tow. Beneath you...

    Bhimteka - The ancient rock shelter of Bhima

    Bhimbetka is a group of caves located in the Raisen District of Bhopal , India . These caves known for their rock paintings, which are estimated to be between 30,000 and 10,000 years old, are some of the oldest examples of rock art in the world. The paintings, which date back to the Mesolithic period, depict scenes from the daily life of the people who lived in the area at the time. These depict a variety of scenes, including animals, hunting, dancing, and religious ceremonies.  The caves are named after  Bhima , a character from the Indian epic  Mahabharata , as it is believed that he took shelter in these caves during one of his journeys.  These were discovered in 1957 by archaeologist Dr. Vishnu Wakankar. Since then, there have been extensive studies and these have become a popular tourist attraction. In 2003, these were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. One of the most striking things about the Bhimbetka rock paintings is their sheer size. Some of the pain...

    Economy and You - What are your choices?

    International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected a sluggish couple of years we are heading towards. Moody's Analytics predicted the global economy to grow at 2.7 per cent in 2022 and slow to 2.3 per cent in 2023. The impact is already visible in the form of mass layoffs in tech giants like Google, Meta and many others. Smaller companies are also going with 3-5% reduction on their workforce in the name of low revenue and huge loss they incurred in the last year or two. I am sure you would have known some if not many who were impacted by the recession we currently are in. After the Wave 2 of Covid, when world had barely resumed to the new normal, we got into Russia-Ukraine war. Followed by China Real Estate Crisis. Market is not good and that may hit you tomorrow or the day after. What preparation have you done incase the employer decides to let you go? Do you have a backup? When we go for a long drive, we ensure the car has a stepney or a spare wheel. Do you have one for your income to...
