New York City – USA

New York has to be one of the most exciting and dynamic cities in the world! Home to venerated restaurants, chic nightspots, cutting-edge theatre and architectural masterpieces, New York City are forever on the cusp of reinvention. Strolling the city sidewalks is the best way to experience the city in all its frenetic diversity, from the bustling, sensory-rich streets of Chinatown to the peaceful, tree-lined lanes of the West Village. North, south and east of the island, are NYC's four other boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island - all of which have their own particular attractions. New York City is packed with highlights, and it would take a lifetime to see it all. Visitors will want to tick off world-class attractions like the Met Museum, the Empire State Building, the Guggenheim, Central Park, the Museum of Modern Art, the Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, Greenwich Village and the Rockefeller Centre to name just a few. It is a shopper's paradise, from cutting-edge designer fashions to flea market bargains. The smartest shops are on Madison Avenue in the Upper East Side. Fifth Avenue is a magnet for the label conscious. Soho is the most European of the neighbourhoods. The East Village and the Lower East Side harbour street fashion, with vintage shops and music stores. On weekends, the Antiques Garage Flea Market spreads an assortment of vintage goods. Along Broadway and Soho, street vendors that hawk almost everything. The Brooklyn Flea consists of several huge markets held on weekends in Fort Greene and Williamsburg. New York has two professional baseball teams, The New York Yankees & New York Mets, and seeing a game live is a great way to tap into the city's deep-down love of sports. After baseball, basketball is the city's favourite spectator sport, particularly now that Brooklyn has its own home team, The New York Knicks.
