    Best time to visit: September - October. Skip the crowds at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to see the leaves change as you stroll through an empty(ish) Central Park. Early fall is your best bet. Read more

    Amazing city with contrast. Cosmopolita, crowded, noisy and full of activities to do. Best way to know the city is walking and subway.

    New York is the city that launched a thousand scripts and song. Where Sinatra sang and Ginsberg penned; where DiMaggio, Ruth and Mantle battled the Sox. A place of a million dreams. NYC just dominates

    Trade and money have always ruled this city and the 1% of art, innovation & curatorial archiving that emerges ends up being pretty awesome & legendary. It's a city of self-aggrandizing and verticality

    One thing that definitely defines NYC is its continuous change: New York City sheds its skins and undergoes an ultra-dynamic reinvention of itself every 25 years

    Did you know...? Tap water is brought to New York City from reservoirs in upstate New York. It is some of the best tap water in the country, apparently.

    Multi ethnic & very diverse. You could find cuisines from all over the world here, some even on the same block or lot. You’ll bring so many food gatherings/festivals throughout the year :)

    Undoubtedly the strongest, toughest city in the world. May drive you crazy, but... can't live with it, can't live without it. "Every other city is, in some sense, kidding."

    It’s called the “city than never sleeps” for a reason. There is also so much to do at all hours of the day!

    Ask a New Yorker where the post office is...and soon you'll find THE post office. Size of a football field.

    You have only been to big apple after you have seen a broadway show in the majestic theater, visited the ESB by day and night, explored the city by bus and boat with live guides and did some shopping!
