Choice Highlights

Greenwich Village Called America's First Bohemia, Greenwich Village is one of the most distinctive neighborhoods in New York City. Nineteenth-century architecture, crooked streets, cutting edge boutiques and world class restaurants mark the area. The Village has been a haunt of New York's writers, artists and celebrities since its early establishment.

Wall Street Named for an actual wall built by the Dutch to protect them from the British and Indians, Wall Street is the heart of America's financial district. The location of the first formalized securities exchange, Wall Street was also the site where the first President of the United States took the oath of office. With neo Gothic Trinity Church at one end and the East River at the other, Wall Street's endurance is a part of New York's and America's legend.

Two Broadway Shows including Hamilton

Statue of Liberty The symbol of America's immigrant history, the Statue of Liberty sits on Liberty Island, dominating New York's harbor. Once the tallest structure in New York and the tallest statue in the world, Liberty Enlightening the World has come to represent the hopes and ambitions of the New World.

Ellis Island The United States' main immigration receiving station between 1892 and 1954, Ellis Island sits in Upper New York Bay close to the Statue of Liberty. Having processed over 12 million immigrants, it has been estimated that over 100 million Americans can trace at least one ancestor's entry to this modern day immigration museum.

9/11 Memorial Today, the two reflecting pools of the 9/11 Memorial are as iconic as any site in New York City. Marking the footprints of the original Twin Towers, this contemplative plaza offers an opportunity to reflect on the events of that tragic day.

9/11 Museum A trip to New York City wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the 9/11 Museum to learn the story of that fateful day through interactive displays, photos, videos, artifacts and narratives. Take time to reflect at this tribute to lives lost.
