The Famous Stores of New York
Bloomingdales is another famous store (for the wealthy) to look around but it is Maceys, who will give 11 percent discount on production of a tourist card where most people will head for. The Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum will also be worth visiting late next year when it re-opens after a period of refurbishment, once the refurbishment is complete it will be worth visiting when it re-opens. There is a great deal there with the USS Intrepid taking center stage being a Second World War aircraft carrier but there is a Concorde and other underwater vessels there too.
The real New York City Police Museum is open for visitors and while admission is free; donations are expected of around five dollars to help with running it, because it’s about New York’s finest (and some not so fine), it has some really excellent NYPD souvenirs.
The migrant period of New York is highlighted in an excellent exhibition at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum where scenes of what made America a great place to be are alongside of scenes America would like to forget. For a step back in time it worth going to Central Park where the New York Museum is located, this is an exhibition of many periods relating to the life of The Big Apple.
Once again, admission to this wonderfully grand building is free but a donation of at least nine dollars is expected. There is a huge amount to see and do in this city and if you are staying anything less than a short vacation in New York, you will hardly scratch the surface!
