Step onto Ellis Island for a poignant reminder of America's former gateway or ride to the top of the nearby Statue of Liberty, the nation's symbol. The beau-art Grand Central Terminal is more than just a train station with its Tennessee-marble flooring, frescoed ceilings and Italian-marble counters in the ticket office.

High end clubs tend to be exclusive affairs, but there’s plenty on offer during a night in Chelsea or the Meatpacking district. NY takes cocktails and clubbing seriously. Cocktails can be enjoyed everywhere from hip lounges to dive bars that started life during Prohibition or party the night away in Brooklyn clubs that never shut.
