Stretching along the Hudson River for 21 kilometers, New York's Manhattan district is the center of attention of any tourist coming to America. In Manhattan it is almost impossible to get lost - all its quarters (avenues) are designated by numbers from 1 to 16 with numbering from west to east, and streets are numbered from south to north. Therefore, here you can easily navigate even without a GPS-navigator.
Manhattan itself is divided into three parts: Downtown, Middletown and Aptown. Most tourists prefer to start their journey from the south, from downtown. It is here that Broadway begins - the famous and longest street in Manhattan. Walking diagonally from north to south, Broadway gives birth to a huge number of shops, banks, restaurants, shopping centers and theaters. In the chaotic urban planning of Downtown, only Broadway is distinguished by a clearly chosen course to the north. Therefore, in Downtown, everything is focused on him.
Broadway is the easiest way for any tourist .That neither the intersection with the street is a tourist attraction .Here is the historic center of Manhattan, with its piercing arrow like it, Wall Street .Here is the famous Federal Hall and the New York Stock Exchange .Further, after going a little to the north, you can meet the local mayor's office - City Hall .Moving from here to the east, going through Chinatown, you can get to the famous Brooklyn Bridge .Walking along the embankment to the north, we reach 14th Street and turn west .After a few kilometers, again get on Broadway, and move north .Walking along Broadway to the intersection with the fifth avenue, notice the famous skyscraper "Iron" .The next intersection (from the sixth avenue) - and again the landmark - the majestic Herald Square .
And now we are in the boiling heart of Manhattan - Middletown .Passing from Herald Square to 34th Street to the east, at the next intersection we notice the majestic Empire State Building .Walking from it north on Fifth Avenue, we find ourselves in the heart of Manhattan - Brian Park .To the south-east of it is the famous public library of New York .Passing from the kilometer to the west on 42nd Street, we return to Broadway and cross the seventh avenue - and here we are already inundated with tourists, Times Square, and a mile behind him - Columbus Circle .Moving from it exactly to the north, we get to the Central Park, where on numerous lawns you can relax from the hectic streets, organize a picnic and "digest" the many unforgettable feelings that Manhattan made to us .
