New York City!
Welcome to the city that never sleeps! New York City is composed of five boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, and of course, Manhattan. Each borough has its benefits in its own unique way, we're going to explain each one of them, but first we're gonna talk about New York City in general.
New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world. New York exerts a significant impact upon global commerce, finance, media, art, fashion, research, technology, education, and entertainment. The home of the United Nations Headquarters, New York is an important center for international diplomacy and has been described as the cultural capital of the world. The city is also referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of New York, of which it is a part.
We will start taking about Brooklyn. Looking for an average place to live, nice, beautiful and affordable? Well, don´t go looking for the expensive apartments at Manhattan's Upper East Side, because Brooklyn is a very nice place to live. Located at only 45 minutes from Manhattan, Brooklyn is a nice choice for apartment seeking.Brooklyn is known for its cultural, social and ethnic diversity, an independent art scene, distinct neighborhoods and a distinctive architectural heritage. It is also the only borough outside of Manhattan with a distinct downtown neighborhood. The borough features a long beachfront and Coney Island, established in the 1870s as one of the earliest amusement grounds in the country.
Now lets ride the metro and travel all the way to Queens! Queens is geographically the largest borough and the most ethnically diverse county in the United States,and may overtake Brooklyn as the city's most populous borough due to its growth. Historically a collection of small towns and villages founded by the Dutch, today the borough is predominantly residential and middle class.Queens is the site of Citi Field, the home of theNew York Mets, and annually hosts the U.S. Open tennis tournament. Additionally, it is home to two of the three major airports serving the New York metropolitan area, LaGuardia Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport.
Now here's were I don't want to be... you got to be careful over here, we are visiting The Bronx. The Bronx is New York City's northernmost borough, the location of Yankee Stadium, home of the New York Yankees, and home to the largest cooperatively owned housing complex in the United States, Co-op City.Except for a small section of Manhattan known as Marble Hill, the Bronx is the only section of the city that is part of the United States mainland. It is home to the Bronx Zoo, the largest metropolitan zoo in the United StatesThe Bronx is the birthplace of rap and hip hop culture. Not to mention that crime here is incredibly high!
Staten Island is the most suburban borough. Its is the most comfortable place to live with your family, especially with your kids. In reality, nothing else to say from here, so lets take the metro all the way to MANHATTAN ISLAND.
Fifth Avenue, expensive and beautiful stores, sounds like the perfect place for you!!!! Fifth Avenue is just one of the many places to buy in Manhattan. Once you step in Manhattan, you will never want to leave from there. Let's not forget also that the Empire State Building (highest building in all New York) is there, with almost 102 floors. Want to watch something entertaining? Lets go to Broadway, and 7th avenue, and visit the best theater in all Manhattan, the Radio City Music Hall. We got something big near too...it's Times Square! Stores, Theaters, Big Screens, people, and restaurants, we have all of this at Times Square. It is better to go there at night, believe me you will be amazed...and a lot! Also we have something very near too...The Rockefeller Center, a perfect place to look for stores and to shop. If you're wealthy enough, you can look for a place to live at the Upper East Side, with a perfect view to Central Park, which by the way it is a perfect place to spend relaxing an afternoon. And lets not forget the perfect symbol, located at Liberty Island...The Statue of Liberty. The only way to get there is by ferry, and you have to make a huge line under the sun...but it's worth the shot in the end :)
So, make up your mind, and if you're looking for shopping and getting to know new things in your life, get a plane ticket all the way to Manhattan to enjoy life at New York, and please do not forget to buy your I <3 NY t-shirt.
