The Ultimate New York City Travel Guide

The great city of New York is possibly one of the most famous in the world. Nearly every movie set in a city is based here. It is the scene of a million different activities on any given date. The Big Apple is an incredible place to visit. Ifonly.com has more than a few recommendations for things to do in the city that will blow your mind and make you fall in love all over again every day you are here.

Visit the MOMA

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of the most incredible museums in the world today. Affectionately called the Met by New Yorkers, there are over two million pieces of art here, spanning 5000 years of human history. This isn’t a visit to be taken lightly – it will take you up to a week to check out all the works at all the different galleries here.

Check Out Times Square

Times Square is another famous part of the city. It is also one of the most chaotic areas in town. The flashing lights, dense crowds, and the cacophonous sounds are all cause enough for most residents to give it a wide berth. If you want to experience it at least once, it is highly recommended that you go here, if only to take a few pictures before being swept away by the river of humanity flowing through it.

Climb the Empire State Building

Once called the tallest building in the world, this is an iconic part of any New York City visit. It is a symbol of progress, heritage, and a tribute to modern engineering. The building is also one of the most romantic in the city, so make sure you bring a date when you go all the way to the top. There is a deck on the 86th floor open to the air, and a large observatory on the 102nd.

Cross the Brooklyn Bridge

This bridge is a primary landmark in NYC. It spans the East River and is the main trunk line between the island of Manhattan and the borough of Brooklyn. The Bridge has walking paths made for cyclists, skaters, and pedestrians that is located above the main roadway of the bridge, allowing for amazing scenery during your walk. It is recommended that you walk across the bridge instead of taking a cab!

See Lady Liberty on Ellis Island

Bring me your tired, your huddled masses yearning for…the Statue of Liberty is one of the most symbolic sculptures in the whole world. For millions of refugees over the decades, it has been the first sight they have ever seen of the land of the free. Take the ferry over to Ellis Island from Battery Park and visit the observation deck in her torch. This tends to be rather crowded, so be prepared to fight for a good view! New York City is one of the best places to be in America. If you haven’t been here already, start planning your trip right now! It isn’t worth missing it in your lifetime.

6 Signs it Might Be Time to Enlist the Help of Apartment Search Services in Your Area

With so many people looking for cheap apartments, one and two bedroom apartments, and other affordable dwellings, when is it a good time to hire someone else to look for you? 

1)  When you are becoming increasingly irritated with yourself and/or roommates and can't seem to agree on anything.

2)  When you find yourself ready to make a rash decision, but you know deep within you really don't like the unit you have chosen that much.

3)  When you have no clue about the area you are moving into.

4)  When you keep finding apartments that are unsuitable.

5)  When you are far too busy doing other things to devote much attention to apartment searching.

6)  When your family member or friend has backed out of moving in with you.

These and other reasons will push you into seeking additional apartment search help.  You shouldn't go at it alone and become more stressed.  It is difficult enough looking for a place to stay especially in unfamiliar territory so why not seek a local relocation service to lighten your load.
