New York Attractions Metropolitan
Museum of Art (MoMA):
Located on the upper east side of Manhattan, arguably the best museum
in North America, has fine collection of Egyptian, Roman, Medieval,
Asian, African artifacts, including the Hall of Armor.
Lower
East Side Tenement Museum: Tenement building (built in 1863) where some
immigrants stayed upon first arrival to America. View apartments of
families who lived there between 1878 - 1935 as they started out in
bare minimum living conditions at the bottom of the economic ladder
in America.
Greenwich
Village: Vibrant, colorful section created by the convergence of musicians,
artists, bohemians and NYU students. Located below 14th Street and west
of Broadway in Manhattan.
Grand
Central Station: Located in the heart of midtown. First opened in 1913.
The nation's largest, busiest and perhaps grandest railway station.
A rendezvous for hundreds of trains and subways. Over 150,000 commuters
pass through here daily.
Times
Square: Flashing neon billboards, streaming stock quotes and news, shifty
sidewalk vendors and throngs of pedestrians. Formed by the intersection
of Broadway, 7th Avenue, and 42nd Street, this square was named for
New York Times building that formerly belonged there.
Empire
State Building: The symbol of the city was constructed in only two years
(1930 to 1931). Was at the time the tallest building in the world. Some
predicted that 120 construction workers would die in this dangerous
project, however only 5 men died, which is also low considering that
14 died building the The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

My favorite place in NYC was the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in Manhattan.
I especially remember seeing the room full of medieval armor and weapons.
It was unbelievable, many of these metal, armor vests had perfectly
engraved "coat of arms" on the front. The helmets were interesting
in how they evolved throught eras in there designs. Kevin McSherry
