But sometimes you want to look at the "other side of the moon" New York life. Why not give yourself and your loved ones a luxurious pleasure - settle in the best room of a famous hotel, dine in a chic restaurant, look at the city from a bird's eye view, enjoy an evening stroll on a yacht, spend the night in an elite nightclub, relax in the famous SPA, successfully go shopping, take a ride with the wind in your dream car to the opera or out of town, enjoy the dessert that gained a place in the Guinness Book of Records and drink the most unusual cocktail in the world with a surprise.
Sounds good? Today we will talk about the most, or close to this rating, “interesting and pleasant things” of New York. Maybe someone will need it right this holiday season, or maybe it will be needed in the not-too-distant future. But, even if for some this Walk is not of an applied nature, I assure you that the information is never superfluous. Therefore, I suggest not to be nervous when you see a price for this or that pleasure that is inaccessible to most ordinary people, but to relax and dream. Dreams tend to come true... - well, at least sometimes.
