Don’t Miss Lower Manhattan

When in New york City I recommend staying at a four star New York hotels in lower Manhattan. The ethnic neighborhoods and the artists, Soho, the Village and so much more.

Lower Manhattan is crammed with history. The narrow streets run in every direction, these were laid out in the days of horses and buggies and before the concept of city planning was invented. Moving northward on the island one sees the streets laid out in a grid pattern showing the efforts of surveyors and city planners.

Lower Manhattan is home to Battery Park. At the tip of the island here is where you catch the ferry to Staten island and to Liberty Island to visit the Statue of Liberty. looking out from Battery Park you see New York Harbor, on any given day you will see countless ships and boats coming and going from the Harbor. Here in New York Harbor ships can begin to make there way up the Hudson River to the Erie Canal and into the Great Lakes. Battery Park can offer a nice relaxing place to escape from the city momentarily.

The East Village, Soho and Greenwich Village are filled with charming architecture dating back through several centuries serving as examples to various styles and tastes that have come and gone from favor. These areas are filled with wonderful neighborhood eateries, cafes, and resturaunts as well as shopping and art galleries.

Lower Manhattan is known for a variety of experiences and styles. Arts and ethnicity abound here with little Italy, China Town, Russian, Ukrainian and other ethnic areas to explore. Although the world famous 5th Avenue shopping and Broadway theaters are uptown and further uptown are the massive museums and Central Park the experience of visiting lower Manhattan should not be underestimated. In lower Manhattan you can get a good feel for what life in the city is like.
