You can have an early lunch and a late dinner in this city where people don't count their working hours. I recommend a visit to Ellis Island which allows you to imagine what the migrants have experienced. Marks on the walls bear witness to this. You also have to climb to the top of the Empire State Building which gives an overview of the city that seems to never end. And then, you have to breathe in the green bubble, Central Park.
Times Square is also memorable. All photos taken are without flash, again, because the light is so intense that it is totally unnecessary. On the other hand, it is important not to be agoraphobic.
A great idea, taken up in France to help finance the park, was to charge registration fees on the benches of this magnificent park. A man also proposed. He bought the right to a text on the bench where he constantly found his future wife: "Carmela, my love, my life... Would you marry with me? Forever yours, Grubby" ("Carmela, my love, my life... Will you marry me? Yours forever, Grubby").
