ArabicNew York City: More than Meets the Eye
New York NY is
always in the news, on the television or on the radio for some sort
of concert, event, or fund raising activity. The city is home to
more than 8 million people and each and every one of them knows how
to have a great time. New York NY is one of the top destinations on
the list of places to visit while still alive and tourists often hit
this city with a bang. For those visitors, it may be time to look
beyond the normal glitz and glam and see New York NY for what it is
worth.
Central Park is one of the most famous places in New York NY. While many visitors choose to see the park on foot, believe it or not there are bicycle rentals and bicycle tours that stroll through the parks acres on two wheels rather than two feet. These tours are perfect for travelers of all ages. Once the ride is through, take a seat in the greenest of grass and forget the noise and commotion of the city streets over a picnic on a plaid blanket.
For the traveler with a bit more biking skill, there are biking tours available that cover Brooklyn, Da' Bronx, Coney Island, the Brooklyn Bridge, Bikers can tour through the secret Chinatown streets and the most diverse sections of the city. All day or twilight, these tours offer the New York NY visitor a totally different look at the city.
For the winter travelers who wish to keep things a bit more slick, there are a wealth of ski destinations within driving distance of the city center. The ski spots available within New York include: Belleayre Mountain, West Mountain Ski Area, Catamount Ski Area, Whiteface Mountain, Holiday Valley Resort, Gore Mountain, Oak Mountain Ski Center, Snow Ridge, Willard Mountain Ski Area, Windham Mountain, and Plattekill Mountain to name only a few. Many people who visit New York, NY never leave the city, but that is not what attracts people to New York, it is all that is offered outside of the city.
When all of the activity has worked up an appetite, there is only one place to stop for a bite to eat, Lombardi's. This locals favorite is a pizza shop by name but the pies that are served up to guests are much more than that. Fresh mozzarella and fresh basil cooked in a fire oven, there is nothing better on earth than a Lombardi's pizza.
New York NY may be one of the busiest places on earth, but visitors should not take heed of the fast moving shots of the streets of new York. A bike ride through the park or the streets of the city will take the mind places it has never been before. And, a quick stop at Lombardi's will boost that mind into heaven.
