New York City has something to offer just about anyone, whether your taste is the obscure and eclectic or classic, apple pie-and-baseball Americana. The five boroughs feature five distinct characters. A quick glance reveals the bustle and sophistication of Manhattan, fire-fighters and policemen living the family life in Staten Island, a tough urban character and baseball in the Bronx, Greek and Hispanic neighborhoods of Queens, and the cheeky hipsters, flourishing art scene, and brownstones in Brooklyn. Take the time to look a little deeper and the subtleties of each borough shine even brighter...whether you prefer a Russian feast in Brooklyn's Brighton Beach following by a dip in the sea at Coney Island, or an authentic Chinese meal in Flushing, Queens, the tastes and sounds of the world are quite literally at your fingertips for the price of a roundtrip subway fare.

New York City isn’t called the Big Apple for nothing: with towering skyscrapers, a symphony of car horns, top-notch food from all over the world, and enough bright lights to satisfy any appetite for stimulation, New York has it all. Vacationers here could easily get overwhelmed by the multitude of things to do, but there are several attractions that stand out. Starting at Times Square, you can take in one of the many Broadway shows or simply stroll down the street and observe the sights and sounds in one of the flashiest and fastest moving parts of the city. Manhattan’s many eclectic neighborhoods offer a wide variety of attractions, hotels, and restaurants. Greenwich Village is known for its bohemian atmosphere, and the Meatpacking District has been reborn as a hip destination for fashionable restaurants and nightclubs. Travelers give the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building rave reviews for their panoramic views of the city and outlying areas. As the arguable capital of American culture, visitors to New York literally have a world of options at their fingertips.
