Introducing New York City
New York can be anything you want it to be. It’s why countless people have pinned their dreams on the place, thrown caution to the wind and shown up on its doorstep.
If you'd like your day to be filled with high culture, work your way through the tomes at the Pierpont Morgan Library, then onto the Metropolitan Museum of Art before rounding out your day with a little ballet at Lincoln Center. Or if you like your city grittier, spend an afternoon wandering through Little Korea, cross the river for some innovative art at Pierogi 2000 in Williamsburg and check out the moves at the West 4th St Basketball Courts. Just don’t be too shocked if your day of high culture turns edgy when you come across a gorgeous jazz singer on the subway platform – or if your bohemian day gets fancy when a chic boutique seduces you, and you’re shelling out for perfect shoes before you know it. Whatever. New York is easy that way.
