John Fitzgerald. He named his column about NYC's racetracks "Around the

Times Square is the heart of New York City. Sometimes
it's called "Crossroads of the world" and it's
worthy this name. On this square you can find almost everything - prestigious
shops and hotels, theatres and museums.
The Statue of Liberty is one of the symbols of New
York . It's the first thing that people see when coming to
New York by ocean. The statue was a gift from France to a
young American state. The trip to Liberty Island where the
Statue of Liberty stands takes 15 minutes. |
