New York City, arguably the world's most vibrant and sprawling metropolis, occupies five boroughs, each with its own distinct identity.
New York, so good they named it twice, is one of the major cities in the world and also one of the top tourist destinations in America. Also known affectionately as the 'Big Apple' and lying next to both the Atlantic Ocean and the start of the Hudson River, the lively and bustling metropolis of New York City is full of interesting sights and major landmarks.
There are five main boroughs of New York, with Manhattan forming the heart of the city and its thriving tourism scene. The remaining areas are the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and State Island, all of which have their own character and are well connected by subway trains.
If you like a day filled with culture, start with a look at some Tseng Kwong Chi photographs celebrating East Village creativity in the eighties at the Paul Kasmin gallery, before ducking through Central Park to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the current Japanese art exhibition.
Round out your afternoon with some off beat experimental theater at the Abrons Art Center on the Lower East Side.
New Yorker's have gradually rebuilt their lives, showing the world that this is a resilient city and that the Big Apple will always be one of the greatest and most important cities in the world.
New York City is everything its supporters and critics claim: an adrenaline-charged, history laden place that never sleeps, rarely apologizes, and works harder and longer hours than anywhere else. It's also a town of icons, both past and present - you'll find it hard to move about the city without encountering a view of something world famous, from the lovely green sward of Central Park to the mammoth Brooklyn Bridge to the cathedral-like Grand Central Terminal.
The city's boundless energy and spirit will suck you in and make you want to come back again and again.
