New York for Shy Guys

The Big Apple, which is New York's nickname, is considered one of the most exciting places on earth to live or visit. And it is the most populated city in the United States with over eight million people. With our book, you can conquer the world's greatest city!
New York is composed of five districts, officially called boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. If you could only see one, then Manhattan would be the best choice because it has the most well-known attractions from Central Park to the Empire State Building to the Wall Street.

Hotel Pennsylvania is OK in terms of the price and location. If you are coming to New York City by the train, the hotel location is great: you just cross a street from Penn Station. Don't confuse Penn Station with Grand Central. However, everything else is below average. The staff are unfriendly. So are the interiors. One shy guy said that his room was like a hotel room in some Eastern Bloc country. (March 2013)
