			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island</strong><br />
Perhaps the most notable emblem of freedom and new life for many immigrants that have arrived in New York City, the Statue of Liberty National Monument is a spectacular 305 foot tall statue. Given to the United States as a gift from the French government, it represents the union and friendship between the two nations in 1886. Access is possible only by a short ferry ride. A pass will grant you access to the pedestal observation level, and admission to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum, which is another short ferry ride away. As of July 4, 2009 the crown has been re-opened for visitors, since 2001. </p>
<p>The Museum highlights include the State of Liberty Exhibit (tracing the history by recording of different media such as photos, prints, objects, videos and stories), The Torch Exhibit (it includes the original 1886 torch), and The &#8220;New Colossus&#8221; (the famous sonnet by Emma Lazarus in 1883, displayed in a bronze plaque).</p>
<p>Monument pedestal passes are available with purchase of tickets at </p>
<p>www.statecruises.comw or by calling             1.877.LADY TIX      . </p>

Nicknamed after the State of New York, The Empire State Building stands a striking 102 stories in the clouds.

<p>The last elevator goes up at 1:15 AM. Security is very important, so any visitor wishing to enter the building must go through a routine security check. No glass or bottles are permitted and only cameras and camcorders without tripods. Admission price for the ESB Express Pass is $41.25 + $3.48 tax.

<p>Intertwined by bridges (each one is different!) running over ponds and streams, the park is a haven of peace, relaxation, and fresh air in the midst of the bustling city life outside.
