Do you know how many people live in the U.S. and have never been to New York City? The Big Apple is the place where millions of people go each year to see such sights as the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty. For art lovers, the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art are located here.

The Empire State Building is one of the most popular places to visit with approximately 15,000 people per day visiting this structure. The awesome thing about the building is although it has 102 floors, you only have to get to the 82nd floor to be able to see the entire city of New York.

Another place you will want to visit, not having been to New York, is Grand Central Station. This is not just a means to access the trains. It is a bevy of shops, florists, art galleries, restaurants and boutiques. The station was built in 1913 and there is no admission to enter Grand Central Station.

Central Park is another famous icon in the Big Apple. This park is over 800 acres and there is plenty to do here. The Central Park Zoo is one and many people choose to go on a gondola ride on the lake. The Metropolitan Opera in the Park or Philharmonic in the Park both hold concerts that you may want to attend. There are two restaurants located in the park and many concession stands as well along the walkways.
