The Capital of the world.
You've found yourself in New York City. Well, at least as close as you can get without actually being there. New York is the center of the universe for thousands of people, corporations, groups and organizations.
NYC, the largest city in the United States, is filled night and day with millions of residents working and living together. Without question, New York stands as an international capital fo the worlds of fashion, media, arts, finance and entertainment. Everywhere you look, you'll see one of three things:
• a Yellow Taxicab
• a person
• a street vendor selling you something.
Sophisicated and brutal. Exhilirating and oppressive. Earthy and aloof. These are all words to descibe the city of New York.
It is the city of indeed contrasts, from sleek granite highrise office-plexes in Midtown; to old - brickfaced homes in the Bowery. Bohemian's and the counter-cultured will find their place in the East Village. The island of Manhattan is weighted down at all ends by wall-to-wall buildings and seven million people. Many first-time visitors find it to be relentless and chaotic, but once you look beyond that; you've got the most exciting city in the world.
You'll never see everything, and its impossible to hop the whole island and see it all. One of New York's chief attractions is the overwhelming number of places to visit. Every night on the town doesn't have to include dinner at a four-star restaurant and a Broadway show to be memorable, and you don't have to spend your days splurging in the expensive shops on Fifth Avenue. Some of New York's greatest splendors are so simple, and so inexpensive; you'll be surprised.
Just sit on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and watch the world go by; take a walk through Central Park on a clear day and gaze at the city as it passes by you; or when you feel crazy wander the streets of Greenwich Village, exploring the crazy stores it offers.
Everything! New York guarantees, that once you visit the city and indulge yourself in its offerings and ignore the stereotypes, you'll be waving good-bye to the Statue of Liberty from the window of your departing plane, wistling "New York, New York..."
