Welcome to New York City,

Because wherever you were born, you are

a New Yorker now. With the most diverse

population, millions of us New Yorkers were

not born in this state or even this country,

but once you’re here you’re home.

Because if it’s 1am on Tuesday evening and

you want to hang a picture, eat sushi, drink

a Brooklyn micro brew, and get lucky, you

can have them all delivered, thanks to your

local hardware store, Japanese restaurant,

bodega, and “massage” parlor.

Because you can travel the world without

leaving your neighborhood. Where else

can you stand on a street corner and hear

10 different languages spoken? And within

3 blocks encounter food from a dozen

various countries yet still be in the United

States.

Because we still get our meat from the

butcher, our fish from the fish market, our

cheese from a cheese shop, and there isn’t

a Wal-Mart or Meijers in town.

The Concrete Jungle, The Big Apple, The Capital of the World, Gotham, Empire City, The City of Dreams, TheCity That Never Sleeps.

Good is New York City

The home of multi culture, the yellow cab, the street vendor, the skyscraper, the five boroughs, the subway, Central park, celebrity, bridges and the 24/7.

An Introductionto New York City

Food Culture Transport Architecture

New York’s urban landscape is an amalgam

of innovative styles that span the gamut

of American history, architectural and

otherwise.

A backdrop used by Hollywood, television,

photographers and artists, the New York

skyline is recognizable around the globe

as a symbol of American innovation. The

following architectural jewels make this

queen of American cities sparkle.

The cuisine of New York City comprises

many cuisines belonging to various ethnic

groups that have entered the United States

through the city. Almost all ethnic cuisines

are well represented in New York City, both

within and outside of the various ethnic

neighborhoods.[citation needed] New York

was also the founding city of New York

Restaurant Week which has spread around

the world due to the discounted prices that

such a deal offers.

The culture of New York City is reflected by

the city’s size and variety. Many American

cultural movements first emerged in the

city. The Harlem Renaissance established

the African-American renaissance in the

United States. American modern dance

developed in New York in the early 20th

century. The city was the top venue for jazz

in the 1940s, expressionism in the 1950s,

and the home of hip hop, punk rock, and

the Beat Generation.

The city of New York is an important center

for music, film, theater, dance and visual art.

Artists have been drawn into the city by

opportunity, as the city government funds

the arts with a larger annual budget than

the National Endowment for the Arts, and

New York is a major center of the global art

market which grew up along with national

and international media centers.

The transportation system of New York

City is a cooperation of complex systems

of infrastructure. New York City, being

the largest city in the United States, has a

transportation system which includes one

of the largest subway systems in the world,

measured by track mileage; the world’s first

mechanically ventilated vehicular tunnel,

and an aerial tramway.
