In today's post, I will give you some of the top places that you have to see on a New York City vacation. Finding cheap hotels in New York should be your last worry when visiting the Big Apple. There is so much to do and see that it does not matter where you are staying as long as you are downtown. For any fist time NYC goers I would suggest taking the Statue of Liberty tour on Ellis Island. I attached a video made prior to September 11^th that will give you an idea of what the Statue of Liberty is like as well as some great views of the New York City skyline from the water. You also want to make sure to visit the Empire State building.
