Also in the first area under consideration, it is worth paying attention, which is impossible not to do, to the skyscrapers. The most famous of all is the Empire State Building, recognized by tourists from the adventure film «King Kong».
On Fifth Avenue there is the opportunity to visit Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece — the Guggenheim Museum. The building captivates everyone's gaze: endless triangles and squares, a spiral ramp, the flow of one figure into another. Contemporary art is exactly what this place is filled with. It is filled with exhibitions of individual continents and civilizations.
Central Park is another recommended place to visit in the area. The large lawn, the largest Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis reservoir, the alley, the Bethesda fountain — all these places are unlikely to fit into a visit in one day, but it is worth it. There is an atmosphere of tranquility all around; in one place you can get the feeling of time standing still, and in another you can have a picnic, play badminton or dance.
Brooklyn
The second place in popularity is occupied by Brooklyn; the peripheral area has long been the successor to Manhattan. A huge number of gourmet restaurants and cafes, shops and entertainment directly compete with the latter.
