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.

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.
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.

Manhattan 2, New York City, NY, USA Collage Video - youtube.com/tanvideo11
Powered by - Manhattan's many neighborhoods are not named according to any particular convention. Some are geographical (the Upper East Side), or ethnically descriptive (Little Italy). Others are acronyms, such as TriBeCa (for TRIangle BElow CAnal Street) or SoHo (SOuth of HOuston), or the far more recent vintages NoLIta (NOrth of Little ITAly). and NoMad (NOrth of MADison Square Park). Harlem is a name from the Dutch colonial era after Haarlem, a city in the Netherlands. Alphabet City comprises Avenues A, B, C and D, to which its name refers. Some have simple folkloric names like Hell's Kitchen alongside their more official but lesser used title Clinton.
Some neighborhoods, such as SoHo, are commercial and known for upscale shopping. Others, such as Greenwich Village, the Lower East Side, Alphabet City and the East Village, have long been associated with the Bohemian subculture. Chelsea is a neighborhood with a large gay population, and recently a center of New York's art industry and nightlife. Washington Heights is a vibrant neighborhood of immigrants from the Dominican Republic. Chinatown has a dense population of people of Chinese descent. Koreatown is roughly bounded by 5th and 6th Avenues, between 31st and 36th Streets.
In Manhattan, uptown means north (more precisely north-northeast, which is the direction the island and its street grid system is oriented) and downtown means south (south-southwest). This usage differs from that of most American cities, where downtown refers to the central business district. Manhattan has two central business districts, the Financial District at the southern tip of the island, and Midtown Manhattan. The term uptown also refers to the northern part of Manhattan above 72nd Street and downtown to the southern portion below 14th Street, with Midtown covering the area in between, though definitions can be rather fluid depending on the situation.
Fifth Avenue roughly bisects Manhattan Island and acts as the demarcation line for east/west designations (e.g., East 27th Street, West 42nd Street); street addresses start at Fifth Avenue and increase heading away from Fifth Avenue, at a rate of 100 per block in most places.

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.

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.
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.

Madison Avenue & 26th Street
The New York Auto Show (now the New York International Auto Show) began in Madison Square Garden in the 19th century as ''The Bicycle and Automobile Show.'' It remains one of New York's longest running shows.
New York Times / January 22, 1899
THE BICYCLE AND AUTOMOBILE SHOW.
CONTRARY to the prediction of many prominent people in the bicycle trade, Madison Square Garden was, last evening, again thrown open to the public with a most cordial invitation to come and witness the grandest show, both of bicycles and automobiles, that has ever been held in this and perhaps in any other country.
A carriage without a horse? I Just Don't Know.....
On October 30, 1900 the first modern automotive show opens at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This was neither the first auto show in the United States nor the first at Madison Square Garden, but it was the beginning of car shows as we know them today. It was a week long event sponsored by the newly formed Automobile Club of America. The price of admission to the show was 50¢. Thirty-one vehicles were exhibited by sixty-six exhibitors. Among them were Ford, King, Winton, Olds, Daimler, McKay, Chrysler, Riker, and the long forgotten Werton. Included in the exhibition space were accessories and working displays which showed acceleration and braking, as well as a ramp to show hill climbing abilities. Many of the cars at the show were electric or steam powered. Gas fueled vehicles would have to wait until 1901 when new oil fields in Texas would make liquid fuel affordable.
Ransom Eli Olds was the first to operate assembly line production of an automobile called the ''Runabout.'' Between 1897 and 1901 the Olds Motor Company of Lansing, Michigan produced 425 automobiles. Between 1901 and 1907 the Runabout, also known as the ''Curved Dash'' sold for $650. Oldsmobile was sold to General Motors in 1908.
in 1899 ninety percent of New York City's taxi cabs were electric vehicles:
