Antes de introduciros en la vida neoyorquina, quería hacer una pequeña explicación de las zonas de Manhattan. Nueva York es una ciudad grande, en la que una vez dominas los distritos y cómo moverte por ellos todo resulta más fácil.
Los vecindarios del Upper East Side y del Upper West son tradicionalmente los barrios buenos residenciales. No por ello faltan tiendas y restaurantes, por supuesto, pero no se suelen ver extranjeros por sus calles. Algunos museos y Central Park acaparan toda la atención de los visitantes en el Uptown.
Midtown es la zona estrella por excelencia de los guiris. Times Square, Rockefeller Center, el Empire State, la Quinta Avenida, Grand Central... Confieso que cuando vives en Nueva York evitas pasar por aquí a toda costa, pero ¿qué sería de la City sin ella?

Chelsea y Meatpacking District (éste último no lo véis en el mapa porque suelen juntar las dos zonas) son sin duda dos de las zonas más de moda de Manhattan. Los sitios nocturnos más it del momento y las mejores discotecas se encuentran aquí. Además pasear por el Highline y el Chelsea Market son 2 musts para los que visitéis la ciudad.
En Gramercy Park está el famoso edificio del Flat Iron, o Union Square Park.
¿Queréis tomar el brunch en el lugar más trendy de New York? ¡West Village es el distrito perfecto! Ésta es una de las zonas residenciales más caras de la Gran Manzana, ¡y más solicitada por supuesto! Aquí encontraréis las mejores tiendas, buenos restaurantes e incluso ¡algún famosillo!
Greenwich Village y East Village son barrios juveniles y con mucho ambiente tanto de día como de noche. Además tienen bares y restaurantes bastante económicos tratándose de Mahanttan.
Poco puedo decir del Soho que seguramente no sepáis ya, recorrer sus calles es ¡una parada obligada!
En Tribeca suelen vivir los neoyorquinos que trabajan en el Financial District, y aunque no suele ser un stop en las rutas turísticas, si podéis daros una vuelta a mí me sorprendió ¡muy gratamente!
Por Little Italy y Chinatown tenéis que pasear, aunque no destellen mucho glamour son clásicos de la City.
Y, finalmente, la recién estrenada Freedom Tower, así que como el 9/11 Memorial y la bolsa de NY están en el Financial District, destinos que no se resisten a ningún turista de Manhattan. Cuando lleguéis hasta aquí aprovechad para cruzar el puente de Brooklyn, desde el otro lado tendréis ¡la mejor panorámica de la isla!
Ahora ya estáis preparados para descubrir los sitios más recónditos de la ciudad ¡más visitada del mundo!
In this blog I will talk about some Random Routines in New York, but before that I wanted to show you the different neighborhoods. Manhattan is a pretty big city, and it's important to know how to move around. Once you become an expert everything is easier!
The Upper East Side and The Upper West are very residential. Most of the tourists go Uptown for the museums or to walk around Central Park.
Midtown is that area of the city that you have to visit when it's your first time in NY, but that you avoid when you live here. Times Square, the 5th Avenue, Grand Central, The Empire State Building and so on are on every tourist to-do-list!
Chelsea and The Meatpacking district are without doubt the places you don't want to miss if you are looking for a night out! Really cool restaurants and the best bars and night clubs are here. During the day you cannot miss the High Line and the Chelsea Market.
In Gramercy Park you will find the famous Flat Iron building and Union Square.
Do you want to have brunch in the trendiest place in Manhattan? The West Village is your next stop. This beautiful neighborhood is one of the most popular to live but also one of the most expensive. Come here for the best shopping, great restaurants and who knows if maybe spot a celebrity!
Greenwich Village and East Village are more youthful areas, full of life during the day and during the night. There are great restaurants around here and most of them not that expensive!
There is nothing I can say about Soho that you don't know already, walking through the streets it's a must when you are in the Big Apple.
Tribeca is a really common area to live for the New Yorkers that work in the Financial District. You won't find many tourist around but if you have some extra free time I recommend you explore the area, I like it a lot!
Chinatown and Little Italy are not the most glamorous places in New York, but you just have to visit them if you have never been in Manhattan before.
And finally The Financial District. The Freedom Tower, The 9/11 Memorial, and the New York Stock Exchange are musts to visit for every tourist in The City! Once you are here don't forget to cross the Brooklyn Bridge, you will get the best skyline of the most visited city in the world!
