New York
I normally go to Miami or LA when I holiday in the States, but having just been to New York I have to say it was one of my best holidays ever!
Here's a pic taken from the viewing platform on the Empire State Building.

That was located in Battery Park, which is where you get the ferry over to the Staue of Liberty.
Here's a pic from the ferry.
