New York City, the city that never sleeps!
Welcome to “The City that Never Sleepsâ€, New York City. The nation’s largest city has a population of just over eight million people spread throughout the five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island). With New York’s Wall Street driving global commerce to the United Nations leading in international affairs, New York City is a leading cosmopolitan city.
With over 28,000 acres of parks, NYC has plenty of green space for you to escape the hectic, fast-paced city life. Obviously, when thinking of New York City parks, Central Park is the first that comes to mind, and with good reason. More than twenty five million visitors travel to Central Park each year. The High Line Elevated Park in Chelsea is a modern oasis which was converted from abandoned elevated train tracks; definitely a must-see!
Fascinated by how New York City has become the financial powerhouse of America? You’ll definitely want to venture around the Wall Street area in Lower Manhattan. A number of tours are offered that educate you about the rise of Wall Street and where it is today. There are also a number of museums that have fantastic exhibits (for beginners to financial experts) that detail how Wall Street works.
Like museums and art? New York City has one of the world’s best museum scenes, with areas including the Museum Mile in Midtown and in the Chelsea neighborhood. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, located at the end of the Museum Mile, is one of the world’s largest art galleries and has around five million visitors annually.
The New York Harbor is the best way to see New York City’s entire skyline while relaxing and getting that perfect picture. Statue Cruises, Manhattan By Sail, and Bateaux New York are just some of the cruise lines that offer spectacular cruises through the New York Harbor that offer priceless views of Manhattan, the Statue of Liberty, and Ellis Island.
While you explore everything Manhattan and the boroughs has to offer, you’ll probably get hungry! No problem, because New York City has one of the most diverse restaurant scenes in the world. You can find countless different types of ethnic and American foods, and don’t forget to try some NYC pizza!
