New York City Hall

Still home to the office of the Mayor and the Chambers of New York City, New York City Hall is the oldest functioning city hall in the United States. Located in Lower Manhattan in City Hall Park (Civic Center), the city hall was finished in 1812 and is registered as a National Historic Landmark. Today, the building is still one of the most visited structures in the city due to its French Renaissance architecture and its Georgian-style construction on the interior of the building. The city hall is surrounded by beautiful gardens and adjacent government buildings and you can always find politicians and government workers milling around during lunch hour. The building is also a popular landmark often seen in movies and television shows filmed in New York City like Ghostbusters and Spin City.

9/11 Memorial & Museum

Il National September 11 Memorial & Museum è uno splendido memoriale creato per onorare le persone che persero la vita durante gli attentati dell'11 settembre 2001. Il memoriale è composto da due piscine situate nel sito originale e da una bellissima piazza. I nomi delle vittime sono incisi sui parapetti e sulle vasche. I visitatori possono anche esplorare il 9/11 Memorial Museum che presenta oggetti e storie sull'evento. I vari reperti esposti in questo museo sotterraneo informano i visitatori.

One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower)

An unflagging symbol of fortitude, the One World Trade Center rises from a sea of buildings in Lower Manhattan, its beautiful steel ascent a reminder of a dark day in American history. This brilliant icon soars to 104 floors, and when it was completed in 2012, it superseded the Empire State Building as the tallest structure in New York City. At an astonishing height of 1,776 feet (541.33 meters), it is also the tallest building in America and the Western Hemisphere. The National September 11 Memorial & Museum flanks the southern end of the center, while rumbling fountains spill over granite walls and collect into twin pools north of the tower. The parapet of the pools is inscribed with almost 3000 names of the lives lost during the 9/11 attacks, allowing visitors for a moment of quiet reflection. When viewed from the lowest point from the ground, the top of the tower appears to converge and resemble a pyramidal apex. Another interesting feature about the One World Trade Center is that the height of the structure is a cleverly planned allusion to the year in which in the American Declaration of Independence was signed. A marvel of modern design, the One World Trade Center is a significant landmark that links the past and the future of this great American city.

Chinatown

New York's Chinatown is a cultural haven full of ancient and exotic traditions, and a huge amount of restaurants. This bustling and crowded neighborhood is home to over half of the city's Chinese population. In the grocery stores and fruit stands, you will find many food items available nowhere else in the city - from exotic fruit and vegetables to live snails and dried shrimp. Excellent Thai, Vietnamese and Korean restaurants have also joined the mix in more recent times. Every lunar new year, the street are filled with the hubbub of the Chinatown Chinese New Year Parade.

Little Italy

The heart of this well-known Italian neighborhood is Mulberry Street. Years ago, the vast majority of people who lived here were Italian, but expansion of Chinatown and Italian migration to the suburbs has changed the make-up of the neighborhood. Still, cafes, restaurants and bakeries line the street. Take a walk and smell the fresh baked bread, garlic and sauces. Stop for a glass of wine or tiramisu at a sidewalk cafe, or gorge on the salamis hanging from store windows.

Ponte di Brooklyn

Il ponte di Brooklyn, che attraversa l'East River, è una meraviglia architettonica. Questo ponte sospeso con le sue torri gotiche e i suoi cavi d'acciaio collega l'isola di Manhattan a Brooklyn aggiungendo la sua silhouette unica all'iconico profilo della città. Completato nel 1883, il ponte era all’epoca il più lungo del suo genere e misurava quasi 488 metri. In quanto una delle attrazioni più famose della città, il ponte di Brooklyn offre ai visitatori alcune delle migliori vedute del paesaggio urbano sopra le acque scintillanti del fiume.

Greenwich Village

The zigzagging streets and charming brownstones of Greenwich Village have a far more laid back atmosphere than most neighborhoods in the city. The center of New York's gay and student communities lies here, with a variety of funky shopping and nightlife including jazz, rock and dance clubs, restaurants, bars and cafés. By the early 1900s, the Village had fully established itself as the center of radical thinking in the United States. Famous reformers, artists and intellectuals all gathered here and many still do. Do not miss a visit to Washington Square Park, where you will experience the nexus of it all!

Washington Square Park

This cozy Greenwich Village park is always filled with students, residents and tourists alike. It is one of the few green spots in the area and has undergone many incarnations since it was the site of Minetta Creek in the 1600s. At the northern end stands the famous arch, built in 1892 to commemorate the centennial of George Washington's inauguration. The arch was designed by the iconic Stanford White and throughout the park you can find many interesting historical features and facets, some are hidden and others are in plain sight. The area was also the neighborhood for many famous artists and writers, including Henry James, Edith Wharton and Edward Hopper; many lived in the Greek Revival style row houses at the northern end of the park. Today, most of the buildings in the neighborhood are owned by New York University.

Union Square

Unlike many other squares of its kind in the U.S., this Union Square does not take it name for the labor movement or the integration of the Federal states, it was named for the unification of two major streets in 1815. The square underwent several refurbishments and renovations throughout the 19th Century, with the addition of the fountain in 1842 and Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead (landscape architects of Central Park fame) replanted the park in 1872. It is also known as a place for rallies, demonstrations and other events, with too many to count since its inception. Moreover, Union Square hosts street chess, open-air markets and there are plenty of retail stores around the entire area which makes it a perfect place to shop.

Flatiron Building

Built in 1902 and designed by Daniel H. Burnham, the Flatiron Building is considered the oldest and possibly, one of the most famous skyscrapers in New York City. Instantly recognizable thanks to its striking stature and intricate detailing, the building includes a mix of Gothic and Renaissance architectural styles and has a peculiar wedge shape (like that of an old-fashioned flat iron) that has made it a New York favorite. Today, the iconic building is primarily home to company offices.The area's Flatiron District is named after this enduring New York symbol.

Statua della Libertà

Simbolo di libertà, Lady Liberty domina l'omonima Liberty Island di New York, e con la sua forma modellata in rame domina il porto della città in tutta la sua gloria. L'attivista francese Édouard René de Laboulaye ha espresso solidarietà agli Stati Uniti a nome della sua nazione, se e quando gli USA decideranno di costruire un monumento emblematico della loro indipendenza. La Statua della Libertà fu quindi il culmine creativo dello scultore francese Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi e di Gustave Eiffel e divenne un dono nobile della Francia agli Stati Uniti. Progettata per rappresentare la dea romana Libertas, Lady Liberty scruta con orgoglio in lontananza, con il braccio destro teso verso il cielo e la mano sinistra che regge una tavoletta con la data della dichiarazione d'indipendenza degli Stati Uniti. Nel corso degli anni, la statua non solo ha trasmesso un senso di orgoglio a schiere di americani, ma è stata anche fonte di ispirazione per decine di migliaia di immigrati che hanno solcato i mari nel tentativo di ricominciare una nuova vita.

Empire State Building

Questo grattacielo di 102 piani, che raggiunge un'altezza di 443,2 metri, ha detenuto il titolo di edificio più alto del mondo per quasi quattro decenni a partire dal suo completamento nel 1931. Nonostante sia stato superato in altezza, l'Empire State Building rimane una delle meraviglie moderne più conosciute e iconiche degli Stati Uniti. Il design Art Deco dell'edificio è opera dell'architetto William F. Lamb, che lo progettò in sole due settimane utilizzando come modello il Reynolds Building di Winston-Salem. Ricco di splendidi dettagli architettonici, come il lussuoso atrio, l'Empire State Building è uno splendido esempio dell'Art Déco. I punti salienti dell'Empire State Building sono Le due piattaforme di osservazione, situate all'86° e al 102° piano dell'edificio. Da qui si gode di una vista mozzafiato sulla città di New York, che si trasforma da un soleggiato paesaggio urbano di giorno a un mare di luci scintillanti di notte. Spesso durante l’anno il pinnacolo della torre viene illuminato con una serie di colori per celebrare varie occasioni speciali e anniversari, accompagnate da spettacolari giochi di luce visibili a chilometri di distanza.
