But   you don't have to use public transport-there are lots of places you can go to on   foot. The Empire Stale Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi   during your visit!

And   you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery   of the city.	Shopping Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue.
