Don't miss the WTC memorial which used to sit between the twin towers and is was pulled from the wreckage and put in battery park as a tribute to those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy. You get the ferry from here to the SOL and Ellis Island. It can get busy so make sure you watch your... more

Battery Park is another nice park in New York. It is a lot smaller than Central Park and not quite as famous so it's not on as many tourist lists but I highly recommend a visit. Not only is it a nice place to relax, its a nice place to get some good views and is pretty close to some... more

You will have the view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island before you, the Hudson River to... more

Aside from getting on the Ellis Island boat, I doubt there was much need to visit here before 9/11. The orb that graced the towers now provides some tourist interest, but the real attractions here are the scores of illegal purse & watch knock-off sellers. A whistle blows and they scatter like cockroaches in the night light. The cops cruise... more
