Destination Overview

WEG 2018 - New York Extension

New York

New York is the most populous city in the United

States, and as a leading global city, New York exerts a

powerful influence over worldwide commerce,

finance, culture, fashion and entertainment.

Don’t be too shocked if your day of high culture turns

into a long afternoon at a downtown diner – or if your

day runs off the rails when you stumble into a gold

mine and walk out with bags of goodies you didn't

realise you needed. New York is easy that way. It’s

why visitors keep streaming in from all corners of the

globe. If you are willing to approach New York with a

combination of organization and openness, you’ll be

met with some staggering and unexpected rewards.

Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty was a gift from the French

government celebrating the 100th birthday of

America's Independence. The statue was designed by

a young French sculptor, Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi,

who was striving to build a statue like the great

Colossus that once stood at the Greek Island Rhodes.

The statue's face was modeled after his mother's and

the story goes that the body was modeled after a

prostitute. The steel framework was made by Gustave

Eiffel. Visitors can take the staircase inside the statue

and walk all the way up the 354 steps to the crown

from where you have a fabulous view of New York.

Empire State Building

More than any other building in the world, the Empire

State Building represents the ambition of humans to

build towers that reach for the skies. It probably is New

York's best known building and is prominent on many

postcards. At the time it was built on Fifth Avenue, the

Empire State Building broke all records and was

dubbed 'the 8th world wonder'.

Fifth Avenue

New York City’s Fifth Avenue is New York’s world

famous shopping district. The approximately 10-block

stretch of this Big Apple Avenue – from 49th to 59th

Street – is covered with stores representing some of

the world’s most magnificent designers. However, as

this very posh NYC street stretches towards Central

Park, you will also find palatial homes, grand

churches, and other historic buildings that will entice

visitors to explore every nook and cranny of Fifth

Avenue.

9.00am Taxi to Chelsea Markets

9.30am-11.00am Chelsea Markets

A block long and a block wide and just a short walk from the Hudson River in the area of

Manhattan known as the Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market has become in just fifteen years

one of the greatest indoor food halls of the world, with more than thirty-five vendors purveying

everything from soup to nuts, wine to coffee, cheese to cheesecake. Attracting 6 million national

and international visitors annually, it is one of the most trafficked, and written-about, destinations

of any kind in New York City.

There’s nothing quite like spending a sunny afternoon on the High Line. NYC's only elevated park

is one of Manhattan’s most popular New York attractions, and it's easy to see why. The High Line

was formally a rail track, which went out of use in 1980. The 1.45-mile-long strip was resurrected in

2009 and turned into one of the best NYC Parks, which runs from Hudson Yards to the northern

edge of Chelsea. Today it’s an urbanite’s playground featuring lovely wildflowers, greenery

and outdoor art, while offering walkers some of the best views in NYC.

Bar SixtyFive in the iconic Rainbow Room complex is an upscale hidden gem - right above Times

Square on the 65th floor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. With windows soaring 10-feet high and 30-mile

experience with sensational views reopened in 2014 after extensive renovations. Tonight we

Garbo, Bette Davies and Joan Crawford!
