New York City - Pearl on the east coast of USA

 

New York, New York City, Newark: I had whole lot of confusion before entering United States about these three terminologies. New York is the state on its own, New York City is a city in New York State and Newark is a city on the other side of the Manhattan in Jersey side. Since I was located in New Jersey, I had a chance to explore this wonderful city in United States in a leisurely way during the weekends with my family.

I had a great chance to experience the cruise ride on Hudson River during our annual meet with our customers. It took us to all important spots like the statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, the panoramic view of the Manhattan, the skyscrapers etc. It was certainly one of the great dinner experiences which I have ever had. I would strongly recommend the visitors of New York to take a cruise ride in the evening.

Central park is one of the predominant spot which most of the visitors hang in out. Located in the heart of the city of New York, definitely one needs a complete day to explore the beauty of Central park. Liberty Park is yet another park on the jersey side which gives awesome view of the Manhattan and partial view of the statue of Liberty on a sunny day. Times Square in 42^nd street is one spot which every tourist would like to be. Honestly, it was over hyped to the core with big big buildings in a congested environment and mere lighting of these buildings.

Walking from 42^nd to 33^rd street is definitely awesome experience. This walk gives the total picture of New York. One should never the miss the food in Saravana Bhavan in the New York City. The food here was delicious compared to other Saravana Bhavan. New Port in Jersey side is definitely worth mentioning. It’s more calm and serene when compared to Manhattan and the view from New Port of the Manhattan is definitely stunning. Walking on the Brooklyn Bridge on a sun set is something one shouldn’t miss out and I heard Brooklyn Park is so nice during spring time.

Driving to John F Kennedy international airport was certainly a big adventure when one drives from New Jersey. Driving through great Washington Bridge is a nice experience. After experiencing European transportation system, I should admit the transportation in New York City is in medieval times. Still I have to explore to reach the top of Empire State building and The Rock on a sunny day and many more things left in this block buster city.

Over all New York is a must see city on the east coast of USA. So when are you going to visit me soon in New York and grab a beer :P
