Honestly about New York: 5 places that tourists should not visit

There are plenty of recommendations on what places to visit in New York. However, the author of the channel “The back of the hotel” on the site Yandex Zen I decided to honestly tell about where to go is not worth it.

1. Little Odessa

Brighton Beach, or Little Odessa, is the home of Russian immigrants. “Sounds romantic. But in reality it’s dubious entertainment, especially for Russian tourists, ”the source writes.

In addition, it takes a long time to get there, but there is nothing special to watch. According to the author, time in Little Odessa stopped somewhere in the 1980s, and not in America, but in the USSR. “Moreover, you should not go to Brighton Beach for the sake of Russian cuisine restaurants. They are very doubtful there, and the service is nowhere worse, ”the channel warns.

2. Restaurants at Times Square

Restaurants on Times Square are indecently expensive, although they will not surprise you with any outstanding dishes. The fact is that this place is very popular, so the rental of premises is very expensive.

Instead, the author recommends, it is better to look into the Hell's Kitchen area. “It's much cheaper there, and the choice is more diverse. Almost all the world's cuisines are collected on Ninth Avenue, ”he argues.

3. Statue of Liberty

“Another work of art that I did not appreciate with Gustav Eiffel. Rather, I didn’t appreciate the statue itself, but the trip to its foot, ”the author said. She explained that the reason is a huge number of tourists, because of which it is impossible to consider this monument.

Instead, the source recommends, it is best to take a free ferry service from Manhattan to Staten Island. During the trip, you will discover a wonderful view of both the statue and the ocean around.

4. Empire State Building

Empire State is twice the tallest building in the world and the most famous skyscraper in New York. “With him everything is the same as with the Statue of Liberty - it’s better to admire from afar. Instead of climbing the observation deck after a two-hour queue. After such a grueling test, no view will cheer up, ”the author explains.

Therefore, the source advises, it is better to choose a site near a neighboring skyscraper and enjoy the Empire State at sunset.

5. Dead Horse Bay

The author told how she once saw Dead Horse Bay in the list of places recommended for visiting in New York. This surprised her greatly, because the bay, she assures, is "a beach consisting of mountains of garbage mixed with horse bones." “For what reason this terrible place was included in this list, I can’t even imagine,” the author is surprised. - It looks repulsive already on Google-images. I would never have thought that such places can be found in New York. "
