Exciting New York NY
Attractions and Pictures

On these pages you will find pictures of some of the exciting places we have toured in New York. View our pictures, and read some information on these popular tourist spots.

The most fun and exciting thing we did was take a Doubledecker bus and this is what we recommend for you if you go to New York City. The picture of Times Square at the top of the page, is the favorite of all our pictures.

Also on this site you will find old NY beach pictures, and information about Brooklyn and Coney Island.

New York City Hotels

Recently we have gone further and added complete lists of the New York City hotels for your convenience (and for our convenience because we will be going back to New York City and staying at a hotel.)

So the purpose of adding the NY hotels was to determine where they are located, and which ones were the budget hotels, which most budget hotels that we found were located near Times Square, Greenwich Village, SOHO, and the upper westside..

We divided the hotels by street, and then listed the NYC Eastside Hotels, and the NYC Westside Hotels. There are also links to more information and reservations for your convenience. No need to browse the entire Web and get aggravated because you can't find the hotel you are looking for. They are all right here, and we continue to add to these pages daily. Next we will be adding the New York City hotel maps for the Eastside hotels and the Westside hotels.

Our New York Trips

Times Square - Times Square is definitely a sight to see. Signs and fancy billboards are everywhere, and stuff we've never seen before. Really colorful and exciting.

New York Public Library - A very historical building with two sculptured lions out front. Both my sisters are librarians, so they had to go see it.

Brooklyn Bridge - The Brooklyn Bridge has always been a popular tourist attraction. These pictures were taken from a pier in southern Manhattan. See pictures and read a brief history.

Brighton Beach - These are pictures of Brighton Beach and Little Russia, that we took when we visited Brooklyn in New York. You can't see the ocean water from the boardwalk, you have to walk down to the water's edge.

Little Russia - Do some fun shopping in Little Russia for some Russian souvenirs. Munch on some meat pies while you window shop.

Coney Island - The Brighton Beach boardwalk will take you all the way to Coney Island, and you can enjoy all the activities like sidewalk flea markets, shopping, Astroland rides, and lots of places to eat.

Niagara Falls - These are pictures of Niagara Falls, taken from the Canadian side. When we passed over the Rainbow bridge, it was early in the morning, and we didn't have a hard time finding a place to park. View Pictures.

Did You Know? December 24, 1931: New York City construction workers, at the future site of Rockefeller Center, dragged in a 12-foot Christmas tree and decorated it with tin cans and paper. The first official Rockefeller Center tree, with 700 blue and white lights, appeared two years later. Electric Christmas tree lights were first used in 1895. The idea for using electric Christmas lights came from an American, Ralph E. Morris. The new lights proved safer than the traditional candles.
