Vista Point 04: New York is another half hour travel video by the same studio that brought us Vista Point: Paris. The two videos are similar- the same fast-paced style that relies heavily on music to build mood as the narrator takes viewers on a tour of The Big Apple.
Footage for the film was shot before 9/11, so the segment about the Twin Towers is now more of a trip back to simpler times than a realistic tour experience.
Highlights of the video include Greenwich Village, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Little Italy, and the New York Stock Exchange.
Much of the video focuses on Manhattan, or “the city that began to touch the sky.”
In a nutshell
Vista Point: New York, much like the Paris edition, is fast-paced and better for folks who want a quick overview of the city. While there are many historical tidbits thrown in about the city, if you want a detailed historical overview of the city or a more in-depth travel guide, there are other titles more suited for you.
