It would be silly to travel to the USA without visiting its most famous city, New York City (NYC). The city has so much to offer that you may find it difficult to decide which attractions to visit, especially when you do not have much time to spare. No one visits NYC without spending at least half a day at Central Park, the city’s largest park. It is actually not enough to spend only one day to explore every corner of the park. Castle and the zoo are some of the things you can enjoy inside. Another must-visit attraction is The Liberty Statue. To get there, take a boat cruise on Hudson River. Do not leave without strolling Times Square, the most crowded area in NYC. Attractions, theaters, cafes, shops, and restaurants can be found in the square. While in NYC, make sure to also check out the best sushi restaurants. Keep reading find out more about the sushi restaurants in New York City.
