Top Sights to See in New York City: Part 2

Do you have a free weekend and want to get away to the city, but you don't know where to go? Here's a list of the top 6 places to visit in New York City.

7. Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum-
This museum is not like any other museum you have ever visited. Typical museums showcase art, sculptures, photography, etc. Ripley's museum showcased unbelievable artifacts, such as, shrunken heads and the tallest man ever to live. Ripley's is famous for its odd exhibits and kooky displays! If you like exploring ideas from the past, or want to know how many matches it took to make the world's largest matchstick model, visit Ripley's for some mind-boggling fun!

8. Dave and Busters-
Located right next to Ripley's Believe It or Not Museum, Dave and Busters is another great spot to go to with kids. D&B is an entertainment site mainly for kids and teens. Consisting of hundreds of different arcade games, kids will burst with joy! Each child gets a card with a certain number on it ( however much you pay). Using the card, they can play as many games as they want until the card limit is reached. Then, with the tickets they've earned, they hand in the card, and get to pick a prize or two in return. Not only are the kids busy playing, but there is also a bar and restaurant for the adults. D&B is a great place to visit for some fun, or even on a rainy day!

9. Madison Avenue-
For all the shopping ladies out there, this is the place for you! Madison Avenue is known as the "Shoppers World" for many women who love to shop! Consisting of many small shops, and many big shops, this is practically heaven for many women. Don't get too hooked too quickly though, its very expensive!

12. 9/11 Memorial-
Soon after the 9/11 attacks occurred, plans were made to construct a memorial for the fallen victims. After some time, this 9/11 memorial was made. Consisting of a 6 acre memorial plaza with a grove of 124 white oaks and two large illuminated reflecting pools, the memorial remembers those victims who died in the tragedy. All 2977 names are inscribed around the edges of the waterfalls, which are created by the two pools which mark the exact sites of where the Twin Towers used to stand.
