Congratulations – you've just landed in NYC – center of the universe. Everyone needs to experience this thrilling concrete jungle to truly understand the magic that is Manhattan. Watch as Tompkins Square becomes a winter wonderland, graffiti becomes poetry, and dreams become realities in this city that never sleeps.
It's no surprise that New York City is the most populous city in the United States; everyone wants to take a bite out of the big apple. Spanning just over 204 square-miles and overseen by the Statue of Liberty who professes to protect the tired, poor and huddled masses, NYC is home to more than 8 million people living in the city's five boroughs, with more than a third of them born outside the U.S. Welcome to the true melting pot of America. And a fair warning: bagels and pizza outside of this city will never compare.
New York's main airport, John F. Kennedy International, is one of the busiest in the world, and it's easy to see why. This buzzing, bustling city has been the subject of endless stories--from Broad City to Friends, Sex and the City to Hamilton--so it's no surprise it's the most-visited city in the U.S. No matter where you go in NYC, you're sure to find yourself in a neighborhood fully charged with character.
New York City is also a breeding ground for big business. With the NASDAQ, New York Stock Exchange, Dow Jones & Company, Moody's, Bloomberg, JP Morgan Chase, and Morgan Stanley, New York sits at the helm of the global economy. Then you have your media moguls - HBO, Showtime, MTV, Univision, CBS, Food Network, and DC Comics. And of course, there is fashion, with familiar brands like Bloomingdale's, Ann Taylor, J. Crew, and Calvin Klein all headquartered in the city. America's sports organizations all call NYC home- the NBA, NFL, NHL, and MLB have their headquarters here. With massive finance, media, communications, and technology industries, and an ever-evolving creative and entrepreneurial class, it's no wonder they call it the city that never sleeps.
