Near Oak Tree Road
Statue of Liberty 27 km
A copper-clad woman holding a torch over New York Harbor, a gift from the people of France dedicated in 1886. Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed the figure and Gustave Eiffel the iron framework inside it, and the copper has long since weathered to green.
Liberty State Park 27 km
A 490 hectare park on Upper New York Bay in Jersey City, facing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island across the water. It opened in 1976 for the bicentennial, and ferries leave from its old railway terminal for both islands.
Ellis Island 28 km
The small island where about 12 million immigrants were inspected and processed between 1892 and 1954 on their way into the United States. Its great main building is now a national museum of immigration, reached only by ferry, on the same route as the Statue of Liberty.

A South Asian shopping and restaurant district in the Journal Square part of Jersey City, also known as Little Bombay. It is home to the highest concentration of Indians in the Western Hemisphere, and its sweet shops, sari stores and grocers show it.
Coney Island 29 km
A seaside neighbourhood at the southern edge of Brooklyn, once a true island, with a long beach, a boardwalk and old amusement parks. The wooden Cyclone roller coaster and the Wonder Wheel have been drawing New Yorkers to the shore for about a century.

A bronze bull of 3,200 kilograms with its head lowered, standing on Broadway just north of Bowling Green in the Financial District. It stands for a rising market and for Wall Street itself, and draws thousands of people a day to pose beside it.

Two square pools sit in the footprints of the original Twin Towers, with water falling into a central void. Around their edges are cut the names of the 2,977 people who died in 2001 and the six who died in 1993, and the museum lies beneath, among the old foundations.
