Summary:Culture vultures can also indulge in fine artwork in one of Manhattan's many museums. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) ranks particularly highly among New Yorkers and tourists alike with its vast display of art from the late 19th and 20th Centuries, including sculptures, prints and a film archive. If you wish to absorb the more contemporary aspects of Manhattan life, I recommend a trip to Chinatown. Head for Canal Street, famed for its collection of fake watches, discount perfumes and customised jewellery. New York is first and foremost a city founded on architecture. Its famous skyline is unrivalled and simply stunning. One of the best views is from Liberty Island, home of the Statue of Liberty.

New York Harbour was the first to welcome waves of European emigrs in the mid-19th Century.
