The Chinatown and Little Italy Historic District is located in downtown New York City. The Chinatown neighborhood was formed from the mid-19th to the early 20th century, a dynamic period in American history when waves of immigrants from all corners of the world came to New York seeking opportunity. Immigration to New York City far outweighed that in any other city in the United States and New York City’s Chinatown eventually became the largest Chinatown in the U.S. In both Chinatown and Little Italy, you will be able to taste the most authentic local cuisine. These arteries are often packed with crowds on the weekends and for events like Lunar New Year celebrations.

British-Indian sculptor Anish Kapoor has created his first permanent public artwork in New York City. It is 14 meters long, almost 6 meters tall, and weighs 40 tonnes. Its appearance is similar to the famous Cloud Gate or “The Bean” in Chicago, the artist’s most famous work (2006).

New York City Hall (Outside Visit, 20 mins)
One of the nation's oldest city halls, the seat of New York City's government is also among the most impressive. Architecture aficionados flock here for the majestic rotunda, Corinthian columns, and arched windows. History buffs love the Governor's Room, where everyone from Abraham Lincoln to Albert Einstein has visited.

Built in 1766, it is the oldest surviving church building in Manhattan, and one of the nation's finest examples of Late Georgian church architecture.

World Trade Center is a terminal station on the PATH system, within the World Trade Center complex in the Financial District of Manhattan, New York City. The $4 billion Oculus station house, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, consists of white ribs that interlock high above the ground. The interior of the station house contains two underground floors, which house part of the Westfield World Trade Center mall.

Through commemoration, exhibitions and educational programs, The National September 11 Memorial & Museum remembers and honors the 2,983 people killed in the horrific attacks of September 11, 2001, and February 26, 1993, as well as those who risked their lives to save others and all who demonstrated extraordinary compassion in the aftermath of the attacks.
