New York City
They don't come any bigger than the Big
Apple - king of the hill, top of the heap,
New York, New York. It's got its fair
share of the tired, the poor, and the
huddled masses, but it also has world-class
museums, big statues, even bigger buildings,
outrageous excess, and a whole lot of
whooo-wheee!
New York is a densely packed mass of humanity and all this living on top of one another makes the New Yorker a special kind of person. It's hard to put a finger on what makes the place buzz so hard, but the city's hyperactive rush keeps drawing more and more people to it.
In a city that is so much a part of the global
subconscious, it's pretty hard to pick
a few highlights - wherever you go you'll
feel like you've been there before. For
iconic value, you can't surpass the Statue
of Liberty, the Empire State Building,
Central Park and Times Square. The Museum
of Modern Art is one of the world's top
museums, and the Guggenheim Museum and
American Museum of Natural History aren't
far behind. Bookshops, food, theatre,
shopping, people: it doesn't really matter
what you do or where you go in New York
because the city itself is an in-your-face,
exhilarating experience.
