New York City, the vibrant center of American society is the gateway of Northeast. It is the global center of culture, creativity, and business. It combines high-rise skyscrapers with old neighborhoods and vibrant arts scenes, famous for its iconic sites such as the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, and Central Park. NYC really should go down on the list of any tourist as a place to see, since it so desperately clings to being modern, yet traditional at the same time. It offers top dining, shopping, and entertainment, and the diverse energy captures the essence of America.
