York Visitor's Bureau |
The official New York City marketing and tourism organization website used
to be at nycvisit.com, but they've moved it to nycgo.com for some unfathomable
reason. The website seems to be geared towards selling stuff
to visitors, but there is a small amount of useful information on the
attractions page. Last visited in April of 2009.
|
| NYC.gov |
The official New York City website has links to pretty much anything you can
think of in the city.
|
| New York subway |
The official website of the New York subway system, which is the most practical
way for most people, tourists included, to get around the city.
|
|
Metropolitan Museum of Art
|
The official website of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which includes a virtual
collection of some of the pieces of art from ancient and modern cultures
around the world, including Egyptian, Maya, Pacific and many others.
|
| New York Aquarium |
The
New York aquarium has tanks of fish like sharks and stingrays, and outside
tanks and enclosures for beluga whales, walruses (which like to squirt
their keepers with water) and performing dolphins.

Brooklyn Art Museum
|
The
Brooklyn Art Museum fought constant running battles against New York mayor
Rudolph Guiliani, who got upset by exhibits such as a Madonna made of elephant
excrement.
|
| Brooklyn botanical garden |
I never got a chance to visit the Brooklyn botanical garden, but the website
looks good.
