New York City
The five boroughs of New York City are the Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Manhattan, where attractions include Central Park, Grand Central Terminal, the Empire State Building, the National September 11 Memorial, museums, and restaurants. Brooklyn features the famed Brooklyn Bridge, Coney Island, and popular neighborhoods, while Queens offers Flushing Meadows Park, and stunning views of Manhattan. Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo are located in the Bronx, and a free ride on the Staten Island ferry takes visitors to beaches, vintage homes, and historic Fort Wadsworth.
