The Statue of Liberty
is the most remarkable landmark in the history of New York.
Also known as the "Liberty Enlightening the World" it has been
the symbol of freedom and promise for both immigrants and natural-born
American citizens.
The Statue of Liberty has history behind its grand existence. It was given to the US by France in 1886 and is erected on Liberty Island in New York. Though due to security concerns in the wake of September 11, the inside of the statue is no longer accessible to the public. You may get there by taking the Circle Line ferry that departs every half an hour from Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan and leaves for both Liberty and Ellis Islands. The round-trip ferries are priced at $10 for adults and $4.00 for children.

Times Square
been celebrated as New York's glittery crossroads. During the
1960s Time Square of New York City, lost its charm when illegal
activities started raising their ugly heads. A major 'clean-up'
operation removed most of the sleaze and now the combination
of color, zipping message boards and massive TV screens makes
for quite a sight. The New Year's Eve attracts million of people
here who gather to view a brightly lit ball descend from the
roof of One Times Square at midnight, an event that lasts just
90 seconds and leaves most of the revelers bewitched by the
spectacular event. Times Square is most famous for the unlimited
round-the-year entertainment.
