Welcome to Kidz Go New York - the city consists of five boroughs - The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhatten, Queens and Staten Island.  Manhatten is the most popular holiday or vacation destination and major landmarks include The Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, New York Stock Exchange, Rockefeller Center, Broadway and Central Park.

New York has also been home to the world's tallest  buildings, including Empire States Building and the twin towers of the former World Trade Center.  Known affectionately as 'The Big Apple' , New York CIty is also sometimes referred to as "the City that Never Sleeps'. Manhatten is famous for its grid-like street system, where all the streets going across Manhatten, from the river to Central Park, are numbered.  It's easy, therefore, for the newcomer to find their way around and to work out roughly where a destination is by its address.

	Empire States Building and Skyride One of the premier NYC attractions - the SKYRIDE is located in the Empire States Building.  This virtual tour simulator takes you on an aerial tour of New York, 'lifting off' from the Empire States building and flying over 30 famous New York City sites, without leaving the ground.   www.skyride.com
	Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty The biggest down side to this trip is the ferry queues - you will probably have a long wait as ferries come and go. Departure is from Battery Park, where entertainers and buskers will try to keep you smiling, but if you're with kids, be prepared!  That said, these are icons of the USA and well worth a one-off visit.  www.statueofliberty.org
	Central Park and Central Park Zoo A haven from the craziness of New York City streets, with acres of open space and tons of kid-friendly attractions.  Activities include  Central Park and Children's Zoo, outdoor ice skating, walking tours, tennis courts, concerts, Shakespeare in the Park, playgrounds, boating, bikeriding, inline skating, volleyball, horse and buggy rides, chess and even bouldering.  All in the heart of Manhatten!   www.centralpark.com
	Gateway National Recreation Area This sprawling parkland is rare in such an urban area.  The park consists of eleven sites in three units...Jamaica Bay (wildlife refuge, historic airfield, horseriding, fishing, beaches.) Staten Island (old forts and historic airfield, marina, ocean beach, nature trails and activities) and Sandy Hook (old fort, plus seven beaches and a maritime holly forest).
	Kids Night on Broadway   Kids Night on Broadway is now monthly, usually on the first Tuesday and Wednesday of each month.  Children age 6 - 18 yrs go free with paying adult, and tickets go on sale two months in advance.  Check for participating shows.  Kids also get to dine for free on the night, at many Times Square Restaurants.  www.kidsnightonbroadway.com
