Destination: New York
Aptly named "The Big Apple," New York City moves to a pace that few can handle. From the time you arrive
to the time you leave, you will be met by a sea of yellow taxi cabs, perpetual motion, and thousands of
commuters racing to take the train home.
But what makes New York truly special is its history and culture. New York is an international city with a large concentration of landmark structures and prominent engineering firms that practice globally . Visitors can marvel at the Brooklyn, George Washington, and Verrazano-Narrows bridges, or famous buildings such as Empire State (World's Tallest Building for its time), Chrysler, Citicorp, or MetLife. The City plays host to these engineering marvels as examples of human accomplishment in the field of engineering and construction, and to such architecturally unique and complex engineering projects as the new Hayden Planetarium and Citibank Building.
In addition, New York has world-class attractions that promise exciting pre- or post-Congress or evening opportunities. Attractions include museums, zoos, Times Square, South Street Seaport, Statue of Liberty , Ellis Island, Circle Line, Chinatown, Harlem, Wall Street, and much more. Indeed, New York City offers so many recreational and culinary hot spots, that it would be impossible to truly experience it in just a few days, but while you are here, you can certainly try . Whether it's taking in a Broadway show, shopping on 5th A venue, experiencing the arts or a sporting event, you will leave New York with a yearning to return.
