Join the million or so visitors a year that visit the New York icon that is the United Nations. Look for the temporarily re-located Visitor Centre, now at the Dag Hammarskjold Library Building (42nd St/1st Ave).
Since 1924, Saks 5th Avenue has been drawing up-market shoppers for all the top brands and designer names. The shoe department even has its own postcode!
Art lovers will head straight to MoMA for ‘the best modern art anywhere on earth’. The Museum of Modern Art also has an affiliate called MoMA PS1, a short train ride away in Long Island, Queens. No visit to New York is complete without a tour through Central Park by horse and carriage, bicycle, Vespa scooter, pedicab roller-blade, or even just walking. Picnics are great here too.
