Hi, I’m Percy and I got to see the sites of New York City which everyone calls the Big Apple. Come with me to see the famous places I visited.

This is the Empire State Building. I can take the elevator or take the stairs to go up to the top to see the view. I hope I don’t get a nose bleed being up so high.

Here I am on the observation deck looking down at New York City. I can see all the different boroughs from where I sit above 102 floors.

To get to my next stop, I had to take a ferry. Can you guess where I am going?

The Statue of Liberty was a gift of friendship from France. It stands in New York Harbor and greets people who come to the United States. It is a symbol for new immigrants of freedom and democracy.

People who come to New York go to Times Square to see a Broadway play. The area is always crowded with tourists. Do you think I will be able to get in to see a play?

A fun place to visit is Madame Toussaud’s Wax Museum. Here you will see famous people in wax and you can take your picture next to them. Don’t they look real?
