The Big Apple dazzles when it comes to free sightseeing options. Here are some favourites.
Whenever I get a case of the ho-hums, I book a trip to New York. This is not as extravagant as it sounds.
The first stop on my most recent trip was to the stunning honeycomb-like structure called Vessel. It had opened a year before the pandemic began and I couldn’t wait to get up close and personal with it. At the terminus of the High Line, visitors can browse, dine and raise a glass at the delightful foodie heaven that is Chelsea Market. This vibrant marketplace showcases the freshest offerings from fishmongers, butchers and artisanal cheesemakers, as well as numerous restaurants. Fun fact: Chelsea Market was originally the site of the National Biscuit Company factory, where the Oreo cookie was invented in 1912.
A visit to the National September 11 Memorial is also a must for me, but this moving tribute can also be unbearably heartbreaking. I’m always struck by how hushed it is here as visitors, even the children, wander quietly around the reflecting pools set in the footprints of the original Twin Towers. The memorial is free to visit, though the 9/11 Museum requires a ticket.
