Niagara, Erie Canal & what else?
Forum Discussion
I've found that New York City is best to see with someone who knows it. There is just so much to see in NYC it is mind boggling... but, most all a tourist sees is tall concrete and glass skyscrapers. Shops, museums... hard to know where to start!
I'm into military history, so I found the Intrepid aircraft carrier / museum to be great.
The "dinner cruises" that go around the Statue of Liberty are very touristy, but really neat to do at least once!
Going to the top of the Empire State Building... kinda cool, but not worth standing in line for 2 - 3 hours (which is average). If there is a short line (good luck!) it's worth it, but otherwise there is just so much other stuff to do.
Oh, and the difference in New York between NYC and upstate is amazing. Really two different planets. One is one of the largest cities in the world, and the other is beautiful, hilly, wooded country.
Have fun, and keep us updated with a trip report!
