New York City 4K - World's Most Diverse District - Queens Drive
Friday morning drive in the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world! Video focuses on the Astoria and Ditmars Steinway neighborhoods in Queens New York City.
Queens is the easternmost of the five boroughs of New York City. It is the largest borough geographically and is adjacent to the borough of Brooklyn at the southwestern end of Long Island. To its east is Nassau County. Queens also shares water borders with the boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx. Coterminous with Queens County since 1899, the borough of Queens is the second largest in population (after Brooklyn), with an estimated 2,358,582 residents in 2017, approximately 48% of them foreign-born. Queens County also is the second most populous county in the U.S. state of New York, behind Brooklyn, which is coterminous with Kings County. Queens is the fourth most densely populated county among New York City's boroughs, as well as in the United States. If each of New York City's boroughs were an independent city, Queens would be the nation's fourth most populous, after Los Angeles, Chicago, and Brooklyn. Queens is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.
Queens has the most diversified economy of the five boroughs of New York City. It is home to John F. Kennedy International Airport and LaGuardia Airport, both among the world's busiest, which in turn makes the airspace above Queens among the busiest in the United States. Landmarks in Queens include Flushing Meadows–Corona Park; Citi Field, home to the New York Mets baseball team; the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, site of the US Open tennis tournament; Kaufman Astoria Studios; Silvercup Studios; and Aqueduct Racetrack. The borough has diverse housing, ranging from high-rise apartment buildings in the urban areas of western and central Queens, such as Jackson Heights, Flushing, Astoria, and Long Island City, to somewhat more suburban neighborhoods in the eastern part of the borough, including Douglaston–Little Neck and Bayside.

Most journeys begin at Penn Station or Grand Central, and if you arrive at the later you'll be wowed by the building. The Meatpacking District was once home to markets, slaughterhouses, and packaging plants, but times have changed. Today you'll find a mixture of trendy restaurants, clubs and boutiques. The Village used to be a bohemian neighborhood that drew artists and musicians, but today you're more likely to find upper middle class families living here. Completed in 1883, Brooklyn Bridge is one of the oldest suspension bridges in the United States. Williamsburg has become popular given its lower rent prices. University students and young professionals have been flocking to this part of town.
You can walk along the riverfront for a great view of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges and the Manhattan skyline. During the summer months, Bryant Park also becomes a popular hangout spot people looking to relax and even work on their tans. The Staten Island Ferry is free of charge and this makes it really popular with visitors who want to catch a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty from a distance. Battery Park is located on the southern tip of Manhattan. Having both lived in South Korea, we were thrilled to come across Manhattan's own Little Korea. Coney Island is all about good old fashioned fun. The Cloisters will make you feel like you've travelled over to Europe. Central Park is massive and there are so many places to visit within its boundaries. We managed to visit Belvedere Castle, the Great Lawn, Shakespeare Garden, The Ramble, The Jackie Onassis Reservoir, the Alice in Wonderland Statue, and we still left feeling like we barely scratched the surface.
And that concludes a look at our very busy week in New York City. I'm still shocked we managed to cover so many attractions, but the great thing about this city is that distances aren't very long and there's always something really cool worth checking out around each corner.

Top 10 Travel Attractions in New York City (NYC) USA
Top 10 Travel Attractions in New York (NYC) USA.
1. NYC Skyline, New York City:
New York City's skyline is truly awe-inspiring. The skyscrapers, bridges, waterways, islands and monuments create a breathtaking panorama that is instantly recognizable worldwide.
2. Times Square:
Not sure where to look while walking through world-famous Times Square? Don't worry—you're not alone. With massive digital billboards whose bright lights make midnight look like midafternoon; star-studded Broadway and Off-Broadway shows (and reduced-price tickets to see them available from the TKTS Discount Booth); people peddling art and jewelry on the street; and, of course, the Naked Cowboy—who plays guitar in his tighty-whities—the expansive stretch of Midtown is a feast for all five senses.
3. Central Park:
Spanning 843 acres in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is one of the world's greatest urban oases, encompassing a diverse landscape of rolling fields, walking trails and tranquil bodies of water—all sculpted by human hands.
4. NYC Museums:
No trip to New York City is complete without experiencing some of its world-class cultural institutions, and Museum Mile is a good place to start.
5. Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island:
The Statue of Liberty is New York City's most recognizable landmark, a gleaming beacon for generations of immigrants seeking a better life in America.
6. YANKEE STADIUM:
The original Yankee Stadium, known as The House That Ruth Built, opened in 1923 and served as the Yankees' home until 2008. The new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, and the team capped the venue's inaugural season with its 27th World Series title. This monolith, which retains some of the more beloved features from the old hallowed iteration, is a must-see for any baseball fan. Visitors can take a guided tour, which includes stops at the clubhouse/batting cage area (only during the off-season or when the team is on the road), the dugout and Monument Park, as well as the New York Yankees Museum, which offers a fascinating look at the history of the storied franchise.
7. Flushing Meadows Corona Park:
Though best known as the location of the US Open, Flushing Meadows Corona Park—which, at 1,255 acres, is the City's fourth-largest park—boasts a range of worthy attractions. It was the site of two world's fairs (1939–1940 and 1964–1965). The Unisphere, a 140-foot-tall stainless-steel globe built for the 1964–1965 World's Fair, and the observatory towers, site of the final alien fight scene in Men in Black, serve as reminders of the event. Nearby, the New York City Building, built for the New York City Pavilion at the 1939–1940 World's Fair and home of the General Assembly of the United Nations from 1946 to 1950, houses the recently expanded Queens Museum (formerly the Queens Museum of Art).
8. Bronx Zoo:
Spanning 265 lush acres, the Bronx Zoo is the largest urban wildlife preserve in the United States, home to several authentically re-created habitats that house more than 5,000 animals representing more than 600 species (including an ever-changing cast of awww-worthy newborns).
9. Brooklyn Bridge:
John Roebling's engineering masterpiece was the world's longest suspension bridge upon its completion in 1883.
10. Staten Island Ferry:
More than a means of transportation, the Staten Island Ferry is an attraction unto itself. For no charge, visitors can enjoy the 25-minute voyage by water from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island and take in the Statue of Liberty and amazing views of New York Harbor and the Manhattan skyline.

Exploring Columbus Circle - A Video Tour Of One Of New York's Landmarks
Video of a walkabout I did around Columbus Circle on 10-24-18. Coincidentally, this video was shot just minutes before the area was evacuated because of a bomb threat at CNN, which is headquartered in Time Warner Center (seen prominently in the pictures here). This video also includes the famous (and increasingly controversial) Columbus statue column, and Trump International Hotel and Tower.
Best Central Park New York City
Best Central Park New York City
Central Park is a large public park in Manhattan, New York City. The area is 3.41 km² with rectangular shape (4 km long, 800 m wide). Each year, the park is visited by around 25 million people, and it is also the most visited park in the United States.
Central Park is one of the most famous parks in the world, because this park is often used as the location of films and material coverage on television. The management is a non-profit private organization Central Park Conservancy contracted by the Department of Parks and Recreation of New York City.
On the north side, Central Park is bordered by West 110th Street (more commonly known as Central Park North), on the western side of Central Park West, on the south side with West 59th Street (Central Park South), and on the east side with Fifth Avenue. The road on the east side of the park is never referred to as Central Park East, but rather Fifth Avenue. Around the park there are luxurious buildings and is an area with high land prices.
The park was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux. Both are also known as the designers of Prospect Park in nearby Brooklyn. Though natural, the landscape of Central Park is entirely the result of human intervention. Inside the park are artificial lakes and ponds, walkways, two ice skating rinks, wildlife reserves, lawns and playgrounds for children. Central Park is often visited by migratory birds to become a favorite place for bird watchers. The overall length of the roads within the park is 10 km. Visitors crowded jogging, cycling, or skate, especially on weekends or since 19:00 after motor vehicles are banned.
