Most visitors stay on Manhattan Island.
Manhattan can be easily traversed by subway and bus. In the center of Manhattan lies Central Park, a green refuge from the frantic pace of city life. The streets of Manhattan are numbered from First Street in Greenwich Village to 218th at the far north tip of Uptown. Avenues, starting with First Avenue on the East Side and extending to Twelfth Avenue on the West Side, run north to south. Getting to mid-town from one of these airports takes from to one hour, depending on traffic.
