VISIT NEW YORK - EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, STATUE OF LIBERTY & CENTRAL PARK
New York is one of our favourite cities at Christmas.
Top things to do in New York City
Empire State Building
We visited just before sunset so we could capture day to night. We book express passes which were worth their weight in gold. This allowed us to jump the queues and were treated like VIPs.
Rockefeller Centre
If you want to go Ice Skating this is one you must book in advance as it gets very busy. If you aren't skating try and go either early morning of late evening to avoid the crowds.
St Patricks Cathedral
Who would have thought a massive cathedral right in the heart of 5th avenue. Such an impressive building and certainly worth seeing.
Grand Central Station
If you are like us and love American movies, the likes of Superman feature this impressive building. One of the most picturesque stations, certainly beats Kings Cross.
Statue of Liberty
Visiting the Statue of Liberty is a must do. It's certainly worth you booking tickets which allow you to go up to the Pedestal or the Crown. The Crown tickets sell out months in advance so if you know you want to go, book in advance. If you are visiting at Christmas, wrap up warm it gets cold on the ferry and the island.
Central Park
We were so lucky with the weather when we walked around Central Park. It was certainly cold however in the spots of sun it could actually be quite deceiving. There are many restaurants and coffee spots in the park and even a Zoo. It’s very easy to forget you are in the centre of New York while walking in Central Park, so if you like walking its certainly very romantic, especially if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the streets.
Trump Tower
Not a lot to see in here, however it was obviously worth a browse.
Blue Bottle Coffee
For all you coffee lovers out there, if you haven’t had a Blue Bottle Coffee YOU NEED TO. You can thank us later.
Saks Fifth Avenue.
Saks put of a pretty impressive light show in the evenings over Christmas and it runs every 15 mins. It’s very easy to forget where you are and think you are in Disney World while standing watching the building with every other tourist in New York city. However, it’s a must.
The Plaza Hotel
If you’re looking to splash out a little head for a drink in the Plaza hotel, The Palm Court is the perfect setting for a few cocktails after a busy day rushing around the City.
If you need to book your hotel and flights book here

Central Park | New York City | Stock Footage [HD]
Central Park is an urban park in Manhattan, New York City. Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States, and one of the most filmed locations in the world.
The park was established in 1857 on 778 acres of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, a landscape architect and an architect, respectively, won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year and the park's first area was opened to the public in the winter of 1858. Construction continued during the American Civil War farther north, and was expanded to its current size of 843 acres in 1873.
Central Park was designated a National Historic Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior in 1962. The Park, managed for decades by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation, is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the municipal government in a public-private partnership. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 75 percent of Central Park's $65 million annual budget and is responsible for all basic care of the 843-acre park.
Central Park, Manhattan, New York City
New York’s Central Park is a beautiful pleasure ground of meadows, ponds, forests, and trails, nature at its best, surrounded by the great wall of Manhattan.
The park is one of the world's most-visited places with an amazing 42 million annual visitors, putting it into the planet’s top-three most popular destinations, along with Times Square and the Las Vegas Strip.
Fifth Avenue forms the entire eastern border of the park so that makes a convenient route to get into the park through various gates in the wall.
There are numerous pedestrian pathways, or you could take a horse carriage tour. The pedestrian paths go beneath several roadways, through these attractive underpasses. You'd never know there's automobile traffic through the park.

NEW YORK CITY | cinematic travel video and sightseeing trip of NYC
Our cinematic travel video of our New York City (NYC) trip.
We really enjoyed climbing the steep spiral staircase to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. The entire Liberty Island was a great experience. We also caught the live Broadway show Finding Neverland, which was a genuine delight. The observatory at One World Trade Center gave us breathtaking views of Manhattan and beyond. In Central Park, our favorite locations included the Mall, Strawberry Fields (John Lennon Memorial), the Conservatory Garden, and Belvedere Castle.

The local bakeries are awesome! Take the metro subway around Manhattan to avoid the traffic and general craziness on the streets. We stumbled upon a free outdoor concert at Bryant Park, which also has a carousel and fresh Belgian wafel vendor. We'd also highly recommend a sunset harbor dinner cruise on Spirit Cruises, and dinner at ONE Dine at the One World Observatory.
Footage includes Bryant Park, Lower Manhattan skyline, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Corner Bagel Shop, Macy's Department Store, Lunt-Fontanne Theatre, Imagine: the John Lennon Memorial, the Hudson River from One World Trade Center, the Empire State Building, geese, squirrels, a horse-drawn carriage, bubble making, The Immigrants monument in Battery Park, Chinese erhu player, The American Immigrant Wall of Honor at Ellis Island, Times Square, Yankee Stadium, and the 9/11 Memorial.

A DAY AT THE BIG APPLE'S CENTRAL PARK IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK
It was a wonderful, cool, and sunny Saturday, on April 23, 2016. The Pepper Bird Magazine's Africa Teach-In Television Show's Roaming Camera was prowling the Big Apple Community in search community news, events, and/or activities to feature in a future television show.. Fortunately, The Pepper Bird Magazine has friends and supporters across the United States who often offer positive and helpful suggestion to our staff; and one of such suggestions was to hire a Pedi-dirver or horse driven buggy from around Time Square in Manhattan to take us sightseeing or just riding around the city. Heeding their suggestion, our staff were also fortunate to hire Pedi-driver and the only Gold Star Central Park Tour Guide, Moussa Fall (From Senegal, West Africa) for the job. Moussa Fall proved to be an excellent tour guide, who allowed us to record his presentation, and our rewarding tour experience, during our ride through NYC's Central Park. We extend sincere thanks and appreciation to Moussa Fall for his contribution to fulfill the continued mission and objective The Pepper Bird Magazine's Africa Teach-In Television Show to educate other around the world and in Rhode Island about the African and African American people, communities, and cultures,
Patrick Kwan (HSUS) testifies at horse-drawn carriage hearing
Patrick Kwan, New York State Director of the Humane Society (HSUS) of the United States, testified on January 30, 2009, in support of a ban on horse-drawn carriages in New York City. Kwan, whose office is near Central Park, testified about the horses being worked in oppressive and inhumane weather conditions--including sweltering heat and extreme cold--and said the mixing of horses and traffic is an inhumane and dangerous combination. Kwan reminded members of the Consumer Affairs Committee of the snowy, icy mix that blanketed the city on the weekend of December 19, a stormy weekend that was also documented in a video by Donny Moss (Blinders director). It showed the horses being worked on icy streets in that storm, in bitterly cold weather, and in violation of the law--conditions that Kwan outlined to the committee. He also spoke of the 2007 Comptroller's audit of the carriage industry that outlined troublesome irregularities and conditions affecting the horses; these conditions remain unchanged. Pedestrians and drivers are put at risk by having horse-drawn carriages on the streets in traffic, Kwan testified. HSUS supports a proposed full ban of the horse-drawn carriage industry in New York City (Intro. 658-A), and has said that conditions cannot be made safe for the horses.
Council Member Tony Avella, sponsor of the bill to ban horse-drawn carriages, invoked the Sponsor's Privilege rule to force the hearing, which was heard by members of the Consumer Affairs Committee. Kwan said he opposes an industry bill, Intro. 653-A. That legislation would further erode accountability and oversight of the industry, as the New York City Bar Association has detailed in a position statement opposing that bill.

Cleopatra's Needle-Heliopolis Obelisk in New York
The New York City needle was erected in Central Park, just west of (The Metropolitan
Museum of Art) on February 22, 1881. It was secured in May 1877 by judge Elbert E. Farman,
the then-United States Consul General at Cairo, as a gift from Khedive for the United
States remaining a friendly neutral as the European powers -- France and Britain--maneuvered
to secure political control of the Egyptian Government.
The formidable task of moving the Obelisk from Alexandria to New York is a 240-ton, 68
foot 10 inch, single shaft of red granite from the Assuân (formerly Syene) Quarries at the
1st Cataract of the Nile. The 220-ton granite needle was first shifted from vertical to
horizontal, nearly crashing to ground in the process. In August 1879 the movement process
was suspended for two months due to local protests and legal challenges. Once those were
resolved the obelisk was transported seven miles to Alexandria and then put into the hold
of the steamship Dessoug which set sail June 12, 1880. The obelisk was loaded through the
ship's hole by rolling it upon cannonballs.
The obelisk and its 50-ton pedestal arrived at the Quarantine Station in New York in
early July 1880. It took 32 horses hitched in pairs to bring it from the banks of the
Hudson River to Central Park, finally arriving on July 20, 1880. The final leg of the
journey was made across a specially built trestle bridge from Fifth Avenue to its new home
on Greywacke Knoll, just across the drive from the then recently built Metropolitan Museum
of Art. It look 112 days from Quarantine Station to arrive at the knoll. A special railroad
trestle bridge was built to transport the New York Obelisk from 96th street to its final
resting place on Graywacke Knoll in Central Park. The movement was accomplished by pushing
the obelisk by steam engine.
Jesse B. Anthony, Grand Master of Masons in the State of New York, presided as the
cornerstone for the obelisk was laid in place with full Masonic ceremony on October 2,
1880. Over nine thousand Masons paraded up Fifth Avenue from 14th Street to 82nd Street and
it was estimated that over fifty thousand spectators lined the parade route. The
benediction was presented by R.W. Louis C. Gerstein. The obelisk was righted by a special
structure built by Henry Honychurch Gorringe. By the time it finally entered Central Park,
it was the dead of winter. The official ceremony for erecting it was January 22, 1881.
Today the surface of the stone is heavily weathered, nearly masking the rows of Egyptian
hieroglyphs engraved on all sides. Photographs taken near the time the obelisk was erected
in the park show that the inscriptions or hieroglyphs, as depicted below with translation,
were still quite legible and date first from Thutmosis III and then nearly 300 years
later, Ramesses II the Great. The stone had stood in the clear dry Egyptian desert air for
nearly 3000 years and had undergone little weathering. In a little more than a century in
the climate of New York City, pollution and acid rain have heavily pitted its surfaces. In
2010, Dr. Zahi Hawass, sent an open letter to the president of the Central Park Conservancy
and the Mayor of New York City insisting on improved conservation efforts. If they are not
able to properly care for the obelisk, he has threatened to take the necessary steps to
bring this precious artifact home and save it from ruin.

Take Me To New York City
New York city City (NYC) is the densest city in the United States with regards of its population. In 2018, its population was estimated to be around 8,398,748 over an area of 302.6 square miles, this is equivalent to 27,718 people in just one square mile. Its skyline continues to grow with many new buildings currently under construction. There is a ton of things to do here. We bought the city pass which gave us access to 6 attractions including observatories such as the empire state building and top of the rock which has a great view of the city and central park, the pass also includes great museums in which you will spend countless hours with many interesting things to see. I recommend visiting the observatories as early as possible in the morning to prevent those humongous lines. The subway system is awesome and very cheap, we got the unlimited ride for one week for around $34, this includes the subway and the buses. I do not recommend you visit the city in a car since parking are extremely expensive and you won't really get a chance to really see the city. Instead, walking and taking the transportation system such as the subway and buses is the most affordable option in which you will get the best experience. We used google maps all the time, it even tells which subway train to take and at what time they arrive, we never got lost when using this. While on this, make sure to take comfortable shoes since you will be walking a lot, there were days we walked 13 miles, but we did get to see a lot. Central park is a must, we went on spring where trees and flowers were blooming with many gorgeous colors. Here, you can rent bikes, take horse carriage rides, do pedicab tours or just walk and explore. If taking the pedicab tours, make sure not to go for their first offer, instead whatever they are asking, ask for half their price and go up from there. City pass also includes a ferry to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. Make sure to take the ferry as early as possible, these two places get packed with people making it very hard to take pictures. From my experience, Ellis Island had the best view of Manhattan so don't forget your camera. Flying a drone is not permitted in most of NYC, however there are some specific parks where you can fly them from, but the view of the city is not great. Food is amazing if you know how to look for it, make sure to use yelp or a platform that offers reviews and price, so you know what you are getting yourself into, there are also many food carts around the city which provide a fast and delicious service for you to continue your journey so make sure to check those out too. You will not run out attractions in this city, so plan the ones you want to visit the most so that you do those first. Overall, our experience was great and would most likely come back in the future for more.

Central Park | Central Park zoo | Central Park in New York | central park five documentary
Central Park is an urban park in the central part of the borough of Manhattan, New York City. It was initially opened in 1857, on 778 acres (315 ha) of city-owned land, later expanding to its current size of 843 acres (341 ha).[5]
In 1858, soon-to-be famed national landscapers and architects, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they titled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War further south, and was completed in 1873. It was designated a National Historic Landmark (listed by the U.S. Department of the Interior and administered by the National Park Service) in 1962. The Park was managed for decades by the New York City Department of Recreation and Parks and is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the municipal government in a public-private partnership. The Conservancy is a non-profit organization that contributes 75% of Central Park's $57 million annual budget and employs 80.7% of the Park's maintenance staff.[6]
Today, Central Park is the most visited urban park in the United States[1] as well as one of the most filmed locations in the world.[7]

What happened on Twenty-third Street, New York City
SUMMARY
A street level view from the sidewalk, looking along the length of 23rd Street. Following actuality footage of pedestrians and street traffic, the actors, a man in summer attire and a woman in an ankle-length dress, walk toward the camera. As they cross a grate on the sidewalk they pause, and the escaping air blows the woman's dress to her knees.
From a contemporary Edison film company catalog: WHAT HAPPENED ON 23d STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Unbarbour [code for telegraphic orders]. This is a winner and sure to please. The scene as suggested by the title is made on 23d street, New York City. In front of one of the large newspaper offices on that thoroughfare is a hot air shaft through which immense volumes of air is forced by means of a blower. Ladies crossing these shafts often have their clothes slightly disarranged, (it may be said much to their discomfiture). As our picture was being made a young man escorting a young lady, to whom he was talking very earnestly, comes into view and walks slowly along until they stand directly over the air shaft. The young lady's skirts are suddenly raised to, you might say an almost unreasonable height, greatly to her horror and much to the amusement of the newsboys, bootblacks and passersby. This subject is a winner. Class B. 50 ft. $6.00.

Century-old horse-drawn carriages to be banned
As one of the most classic and romantic tourist attractions in New York City, horse-drawn carriages have existed for more than a century.
So far, there are about 70 horse-drawn carriages, more than 200 horses and drivers running on the streets of New York.
New York Mayor de Blasio has unveiled a bill that, if passed, will phase out the industry by the middle of 2016. De Blasio's move is intended to fulfill his promise to animal-rights activists, who played an important role in his campaign victory as mayor.
