Truly amazing travel experiences?
There really aren’t that many.
The Northern Lights over an ice field?
The first time you see the Grand Canyon?
New York City at dawn — as its delivery guys and yoga devotees can tell you — is spectacular: rosy-colored, peaceful, intimate.
The best places to see it? A cab on the FDR, Battery Park, the Staten Island Ferry, and 1000 other places.
