Two Hot Spots in New York City
When one visits the city of New York for the first time it can be an overwhelming experience. There is so much to do, so much to see. One of the busiest and most bustling areas of the city is Times Square. This is one area that truly never sleeps, for no matter what time of day or night, the streets are packed with people. Many chose to stay in this section for just that reason, and there are many famous and top New York hotels to pick from. Prices range and there are many luxury accomodations, as well as smaller less expensive options. Staying in this area is for those travelers that want to experience the full excitement of Manhattan, as there are many restaurants, including the famous, and delicious, Ray’s Pizza. There are trendy bars and the nightlife, well, it goes on all night and continues through to the wee hours of the morning.
Central Park, is of course a huge draw for tourists, for reasons exactly opposite the reasons Times Square is. Located right in the center of Manhattan this is one of New York’s most important and most loved landmarks. The residents of the city love this park as well, this is a place that one can really escape the busy city streets and get lost in the forest. Many run through the pathways, or bike and rollerblade. One of the traditons of New Yorkers has become the watching, every spring, of the descendants of Pale Male hatching. Pale Male is a hawk who has made his nest in the ledges of a 5th Avenue apartment for years, and is responsible for siring the many hawks living in Central Park today. The park spans seven hundred and sixty eight acres, and the plan for the park was conceived in 1853. The design is that of Calvert Vaux and Fredric Law, the two who won the design competion during that same year.
