Arriving in New York

    There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them，you can take a bus or taxi to any place in New York.

Public transport(交通)

    In New York there's a good bus and subway(地铁)service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for ten journeys because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport——there are lots of places you can go on foot. like the Empire State Building(帝国大厦)，5th Avenue(第五大道) and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!

    Hotels

    There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels in the YMCA near Central Park are great for young people.

    Eating Out

    There are many kinds of food in New York you shouldn't eat at McDonalds every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.

    Shopping

    Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices；you have to pay a special 8％tax(税)on everything you buy in New York.

    Places to see

    Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York Times Square, the Statue of Liberty(自由女神像), and you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.

    An Englishman was showing a foreign visitor around London" What's that strange building?" asked the visitor. " That's the Tower(塔)of London" " I see. How long did it take to build it?" "About 500 years." "In my country we can build it in five months. "said the visitor. A short time after that they came to St. Paul's Cathedral (大教堂). "Very interesting!" said the visitor. "How long did it take to build it?" "Nearly forty years, "said the Englishman. "In my country we can finish it in forty days." said the visitor. This went on all day. They visited most of the best known buildings in the city. Every time they saw a new one, the visitor asked what it was and how long it took to build it. Then he said that they could do the same thing much faster in his country. At last the Englishman got angry with the visitor though he tried not to show it. A few days later they came to the House of Parliament(议会大厦)and the visitor asked his usual question. "What's that?" The Englishman answered, "I've no idea. It wasn't there last night. "
