First things, first. Getting here is easy. By plane NY sightseers arrive at JFK, Laguardia and Liberty International in Newark, N.J. The Port Authority Bus Terminal is where most buses from all over he country drop off passengers. Some regional services (like Bolt Bus and others) have other drop off points like Madison Square Garden, The financial district or Chinatown.

Geography of NYC is also very easy to understand. Statistically speaking, the island of Manhattan is where most tourist spend their time. The major tourist neighborhoods (where a lot of attractions are located) include: midtown, Chelsea, the upper east side, the upper west side, Chinatown, SoHo, Greenwich Village and the financial district. But, remember, over the years, the other boroughs have been spiffing up their tourist offerings, so spend dome time outside Manhattan and you'll see a New York most locals experience every day.
