Rightfully bearing the title of one of the world’s greatest cities, you will find beautiful architecture, fascinating history, cutting edge modern establishments and the best conference rooms in New York. If you're in this wonderful city on business, even if most of your time is spent indoors, grab any opportunity you can to explore. Get out and about, keep moving, or get out of the way! The city that never sleeps stops for nobody. The city is famous for its commercial centre and the many world-class conference rooms in New York. Many global corporations have their headquarters here - hence the demand for conference rooms in New York too. On your down time from business, try these top suggestions. What to see and do The first thing you must do is to take an elevator ride up to the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, New York’s second tallest building. Once you are 1,050 feet up in the sky, the panoramic view of the city’s skyline is a breathtaking sight. You can get a 360-degree view of the entire city below you, either in the daytime or at night when the city simply shimmers. After a busy day of meetings, take a trip to Times Square – a place where you really won’t know where to look first. Massive digital billboards, Broadway shows, street peddlers, and the famous Naked Cowboy who plays his guitar in his tight body suit, all make for a feast for the senses. Add to this massive flagship stores, the famous Madame Tussauds Wax Museum, and hundreds of bars, cafes and restaurants, and you may find it takes a couple of days to explore Times Square. One of the world’s greatest urban creations designed by man, Central Park stretches over 840 acres smack bang in the middle of Manhattan, within walking distance of many of the excellent conference rooms in New York. The park was designed in the mid 19th century, by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Take a walk through the zoo, and then visit Belvedere Castle and the Friedsam Memorial Carousel. If you are here in winter, enjoy ice-skating at Wollman Rink with the park as a picturesque backdrop. You can even catch Shakespeare in the Park, with performances by Delacorte Theatre. You cannot visit this city and not meet its first lady. The Statue of Liberty, a beacon of hope for generations of immigrants, is New York’s most recognised landmark. Although you can see Lady Liberty from land, a ferry ride will take you up close. If you are lucky enough to get a ticket to get to the observation deck, you will be able to get some excellent photos. You pass will also give you a free ride through Ellis Island Immigration Museum. This was the first port of entry in the United States for more than 12 million immigrants. Walk through the Great Hall and feel some of the immense excitement these immigrants may have felt when starting their new life. Looking for the best conference rooms in New York?
