"New York City is an international center for entertainment, fashion, creative arts and finance. It has great shopping, dynamic theater, superb concert halls and clubs, world-class museums, gorgeous parks and gardens, and sports events all year long. The variety and quality of restaurants is incomparable.

As a world financial center, it soars and plummets with the fluctuations on Wall Street. New Yorkers move fast, talk fast and are passionate about politics and style. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors and ethnicities; the city's multiculturalism is part of its charm. Known for being brusque, New Yorkers are often surprisingly warm. Sometimes infuriating, the city is never dull. And chances are, with its vibrant whirl of activity, it's nothing like home." - Fodor's See It New York City
