Manhattan overview

New York - not all high rise •Two main tall building clusters: • Financial District (Wall St, Manhattan south World Trade Centre) and • Upper-Midtown Manhattan (Rockefeller, Chrysler, Empire State) •Historic view of NY skyline is from Ellis Island at the south end

Manhattan Map • N-S roads are ‘Avenues’ • E-W roads are ‘Streets’ • Avenues fast moving, strict rules on crossing, • Streets congested with vehicles, • Manhattan connected to surroundings by Bridges and Tunnels and Ferries • Need a TravelCard, distances are great, walking is very wearying.

• Need a CityPass - cheap entry to Museums+attractions
