Bite the Big Apple to the fullest

The attractions of New York City are multiple: arts, history, history, gastronomy, architecture, places to go out... there is something for everyone! Whether you are more modern or traditional, trendy or quirky, you will find a site, neighborhood or park for you! Today it is said that the heart of the city, the “real” New York, is located in Brooklyn. History buffs can also turn to Ellis Island, the island where migrants arrived, and of course Ground Zero, the site in tribute to the victims of September 11. Among the places recently opened to the public, Governors Island, a former military site, is certainly worth seeing: a green oasis in the heart of the bay, offering breathtaking views of the city and the Statue of Liberty.
