home to Times Square

Manhattan may be the City’s smallest borough in size, but it’s packed

with iconic attractions. First-time visitors should explore Times Square’s

car-free pedestrian mall before escaping to the tranquility of nearby

Central Park, an 843-acre oasis of meadows, trees, ponds, playgrounds and zoos. Back in Midtown, the Top of the Rock and the

Empire State Building boast stunning views of the City’s famous skyline.

Uptown, Harlem has soul food and nouveau cuisine, plus legendary

jazz clubs. Lower Manhattan offers authentic ethnic dining in Chinatown

and Little Italy; fascinating history, whether literary in Greenwich Village

or governmental and commercial in the Financial District; and unique

boutiques and cafés in the West Village and on the Lower East Side.

SoHo’s shops and cobblestone streets make it an ideal spot for a

sunny afternoon stroll. And with a range of new hotels, downtown is

a convenient spot to anchor your visit.
