Aptly named the City that Never Sleeps, New York is a place bursting with character and energy. Cited as the most populous city in the United States, it is packed full of iconic attractions and landmarks, as well as boasting over 28,000 acres of parkland and an annual average of 234 days of sunshine. It is little wonder then that over 45 million tourists flock there each year, keen to soak up the remarkable experiences on offer.
Located in the north east of the US, at the opening of the Hudson River, New York lies roughly halfway between Boston and Washington D.C. The city itself is split into five distinct boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island - all of which display their own unique sense of style and personality. Although there are many world-renowned buildings and attractions scattered around the city, there's also a host of unusual activities just waiting to be discovered. And, if you've seen the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty, and have strolled along Fifth Avenue and visited Times Square, then they're a great way to experience New York's more alternative. The perfect way to spend a Sunday, the Harlem Sunday Morning Gospel Tour is a real eye opener. Kicking off the tour is a visit to one of the local churches where you can join in with a congregation of gospel singers, before heading off around the neighbourhood. Here you will learn about the history of Harlem, when it was a rural Dutch community, as well as visiting some of the area's most famous sights. It is even possible to feast on some soul food for brunch! For those who like to experience a city's culinary offerings whilst soaking up some culture, the Best of Brooklyn Sightseeing, Food and Culture Tour is a definite treat. A combined bus and walking tour, it is an ideal way to gain an insight into the history of the area, as well as getting to try out some tasty treats. Areas where the tour stops include the Old Williamsburg neighbourhood, with its art community and DUMBO, where you can eat the mouth-watering chocolate on offer at the Jacques Torres Chocolate Factory. The Central Park Dinner and Carriage Ride, on the other hand, is the perfect way to spend an opulent evening in New York. After being picked up by your own private limousine driver, you are then transported to Central Park where you can soak up the city's nighttime sights in a horse drawn carriage ride. If this were not enough, you can then indulge yourself silly with a gourmet meal. With a bit of research, it is easy to find a whole range of unusual things to do in the City that Never Sleeps. And, combined with its unparalleled range of exquisite eateries, quaint cafes and funky nightclubs, not to mention the wealth of New York hotels on offer, there is something to excite and entertain even the pickiest of people!
