Discover New York
Despite being the scene for 101 disasters movies, New York is a city famed around the world for sport, education, music, fashion and so much more. It’s the most visited city in the US, and has a university student population of over 600,000 – more than any other US city. NYC was the original capital city of the United States up until 1790, and it was where George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the US. The famous New York Stock Exchange opened in 1792, and it remains one of the most important financial landmarks throughout the world. The following century saw the rapid construction of Manhattan and surrounding areas, with the likes of the Brooklyn Bridge open in 1883, and the French gifting the Statue of Liberty to the city three years later. The 20th century saw rapid progress at all levels throughout the city as New York became what it is today – one of the most important cities in the world.
Where do we begin? The Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Central Park, Times Square, the Empire State Building – NYC has something to see and do on every street corner. Whether it’s the arts, sport or architectural mastery, the city that never sleeps is anything but boring. Catch a show on Broadway, watch the ball game at Yankee Stadium, go shopping on 5th Avenue and take in the view from the Top of the Rock. Then there’s the wonders that are the New York Public Library, the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim. The trouble is when you leave, you’ll realise there’s just so much more to see.
New York City has the highest concentration of professional sports teams of any city or region in the US. With two NBA teams, two NFL teams, two NHL and two MLS teams – including the New York Red Bulls – sports fans in the city are spoilt for choice when it comes to picking a sport or a team.
In case you didn’t already know, food is a big thing in the US. And if it’s big in the US then that means it’s massive in NYC. From street food to fine dining, some of the world’s leading chefs and cuisines are squeezed onto Manhattan Island. Grab a slice at Mama’s Too, voted by the New York Times as one of the best pizzas in NYC; a Feltman’s hot dog on Coney Island is a must; and there’s the authentic New York Bagel – Russ & Daughters is an absolute classic. For those who like tables and cutlery, the options are endless. Keens Steakhouse is an institution; Katz Deli is perhaps the most legendary deli in the city, serving pastrami sandwiches the size of a small animal; and the Grand Central Oyster Bar is exactly that – a famed oyster restaurant within the most recognised train station in America.
