General tips
Description:
New York City, also known worldwide as the "Big Apple", is located on the Atlantic Ocean. With 8.8 million inhabitants, it is the most populous city in the state of New York and in the United States, doubly exceeding Los Angeles, the second largest city in the country by population. It is together with London the most important city for the global economy.
The guide:
This guide is made for everyone, especially family or a group of friends.
I divided it in the different zone of Manhattan (lower, midtown, upper).
New York City is a very big city that offers a lot of multi-ethnic restaurant so you can find whatever type of food you prefer.
I recommend to use the sub-way, a taxi or on foot to move around the city; given the traffic I don’t recommend rent a car this will only make your movement slower
