New York City likes to consider itself the capital of the world. People flock to it as a symbol of freedom and change (and to visit Times Square). Manhattan is a small island, and at any time, most of it is covered in tourists rather than residents, and this is what makes it the vibrant city it is. As one of the most diverse cities in the world, you can always find what you're looking for. If you have a craving for actual authentic Chinese food, you don't have to go more than a mile to find it. If you need to find a Polish grocery store, it's totally possible. The aesthetic of the city is picturesque. You can spend your day at the green Central Park or find old-style buildings and boutique shops in SoHo. There are endless possibilities in New York City.
