2014年7月Si去纽约参加conference，没想到来到澳洲后的第一次旅行不是澳洲境内而是去纽约
✈️签证——Si有澳洲的研究生签证，又有大会的邀请函所以在美国驻悉尼领事馆申请商务签证非常方便
✈️酒店／机票——拿到签证就开始定机票酒店
Si坐的是澳航Qantas的经济舱，在Dallas转机
conference的合作酒店是坐落在middle Manhattan的假日酒店，步行就可以到中央公园了
✈️出行——由于每天上午要去conference，Si在纽约的行程都在Manhattan，步行就够了，每天都走6小时以上
如果不喜欢走路可以在网上先买一张New York Pass，既是景点联票，又可以免费坐观光巴士
✈️订票——Si在去美国前认识了常去美国总公司出差的D
行前D给Si发了一封“Manhattan观光指南”😂，其中良心建议去Broadway官网订购一张Phantom of the Opera的票
篇尾附赠D的“Manhattan观光指南”，给英语棒棒哒你们
✈️航行——需要在美国境内转机的话要看好转机地时差，美国和澳洲一样不同时区的城市有时差，一个国家n个时间
Si在Dallas转机时由于没调时差把自己吓个半死，以为赶不上转机航班，还好有惊无险😂
入境时海关会问暂住地址，给酒店地址就好
安检像打仗，千万要穿容易脱的鞋子，夏天人字拖最好
从悉尼到纽约，飞行加转机一共20+小时，real长途real累
准备几部轻松愉悦的电影，不睡觉的时候可以看
Si在飞机上就没有睡，看了Rio 1&2，满满度假心情（你不是去开会的么？😑）这时候就体现出好的航空公司的重要性了，Qantas飞美国的飞机座位间距很大很舒适，晚上有空乘人员不断的给不睡觉的乘客发零食，饼干，饮料，水果，冰淇淋，巧克力
✈️到达&时差——Si14号中午从悉尼出发，飞了22小时到纽约的时候只过了几个小时，下飞机时还是14号，只是从中午变晚上，冬天变夏天
突然消失了一整天，世界真奇妙😂
纽约只有坐式马桶且水位很高，姐妹们做好心理准备
从机场打车到酒店大约USD30+，记得要给小费哟
到酒店时已是晚上11点半了，酒店有WiFi，和家人朋友报个平安就洗洗睡了
第二天用去附近的T-mobile办手机卡，14年的时候有一个prepaid plan每天USD3
中文版景点下次再聊😁Things I did in NYHi Si,Below is a list of places I visited when I went to NY last year. I didn't really have an itinerary but spent a day for each part of Manhattan. I was only there for 3-4 days and basically spent one day in Lower Manhattan, one day in Middle/West side Manhattan, and one day in upper Manhattan/Central park.Lower Manhattan:9/11 memorial - this is where the World Trade Centers used to be. Admission cost is up to you. I think most people just pay $10 for donation. The new towers should be completed by now so you might be able to visit them. I heard there's also a 9/11 museum too.wall street - You're going to NY so of course you have to go to Wall Street. I made the mistake of going during the weekend so it wasn't very busy. Or maybe it wasn't a mistake?Brooklyn bridge - cool bridge with nice viewsChinatown - like I told you before, its just like any china town.You can take the free Ferry to Staten island and have a clear view of the Statue of Liberty. There's not much to do on Staten Island so I just took the next ferry back ;)When I went, the Statue of Liberty was closed down due to the government shutdown. It should be worth going to but check the tickets online before you go. I'm not sure but you might have to book.Washington Square Park - this is an interesting park. The piano man was playing here when I went. There is also a section where many people play chess. See this article about the piano man: http://www.dnainfo.com/new-york/20110606/greenwich-village-soho/crazy-piano-guy-brings-baby-grand-washington-square-parkSOHO- this area has many boutique stores, shopping for brand name stuff. The Architecture is interesting but shops are expensive. It's worth seeing.High Line - it used to be a railroad but now it's a park. It's not far from SOHO and Chelsea MarketChelsea Market - lots of food here and interesting decorations at this market. I came here for lunch after going to SOHO and the High lineUpper Manhattan/Central Park:Museum of Natural History - I spent a rainy afternoon here. You can easily spend more than 3hours here if you're interested in science, space, dinosaurs etc. It's located opposite the The Metropolitan Museum of Art and both are inside central park. The Park itself is huge. Prepare to walk a lot! There should be more activities at Central park if you go during the weekend.Middle Manhattan:Rockefeller Center - Another tall building in NY. The views are supposed to be better here because you can see the Empire state building. I didn't get to go because it was booked out. You might want to buy the ticket earlier in the day and come back for the afternoon/sunset view of the city.Empire state building - The iconic building of NY.Have you seen Phantom of the Opera? I saw it in Sydney many years ago and I recommend it if you haven't seen it already. Even if you have, it should be better at Broadway!Times square - this place is very crowded with tourists and bright lights. The lights were so bright, you can feel the warmth on your skin. I don't recommend taking pictures with the mascots.... they can be aggressive and demand payment. I didn't like this place but you should go see it anyway.Food:NY is famous for its NY Steak and NY Pizza. The ones I tried were ok. Nothing spectacular. You may have better luck than me finding a good restaurant. It is also famous for Shake Shack burgers. I tried it and thought it was ok too :P However, the queue to Shake Shack is very very long. It's just burgers to me but maybe you'll like it more.These are just the places I remember and there are many many more places to visit in NY. Check out Tripadvisor NYC app. It was very useful when I was travelling. You'll need a 3G connection on your phone.This morning has been very productive, thanks to you :)I almost forgot, The Flatiron building is pretty cool too. This is where I saw Morgan Freeman ;)带着去旅行旅行美国纽约美国旅游 自由行@生活薯
