New York City comprises 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. Its iconic sites include skyscrapers such as the Empire State Building and sprawling Central Park. The fact that Central Park exists is a miracle in itself. The park, which takes up a substantial chunk of the island of Manhattan occupies billions of dollars of prime real estate land. And yet the city hasn’t allowed any development within its borders.
New York is not only the most famous city in the world but also, arguably, the best for tourists, thanks to its diverse culture and myriad of entertainment options. There’s never a dull day in the city that doesn’t sleep. New York City offers visitors endless possibilities, great diversity, and high energy.
The skyscraper district on New York’s Manhattan island goes on for miles and sprawls out into neighboring Jersey City and Brooklyn. Seeing the city for the first time coming into land at JFK airport is a remarkable experience.
