While New York is most definitely a top priority of cities in which one should go before they die, it’s common knowledge that the scale can be brought even further down to the borough of Manhattan.

Without sounding like snobs, Manhattan is the place to be as far as entertainment is concerned. And don’t worry, this can be backed up with illustrated examples.

Art lovers are given The Met (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) which houses over two million works of art daily. The Met is kind of like the Louvre in Paris or the Tate in London, so it’s some serious art we’re talking about, and yes I mean Da Vinci and Michelangelo.

Then there’s the massively famous Guggenheim on Fifth Avenue, famous for its collection and interesting architecture. The Guggenheim has pieces from artists like Van Gogh, Picasso and Giacometti, so between these two galleries alone, that’s a decent day or two spent.

Techno heads can rest assured, this wireless city is going to pull your heart strings. If you can’t find your gadget here, it doesn’t exist. Every reputable, and even the un- reputable software and hardware companies have stores or offices here.

Even if you hate Mac’s, you have to visit the Apple store on Fifth Avenue. The glass cube on the outside leads down to a massive shop/ haven for nerds, geeks, and ipod lovers alike. There are computers and food down there so that should be all you need to know apart from the 45 foot Genius Bar, the iPod Bar and the fact that it’s open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year for support.
