WHY NEW YORK CITY
Come and dream in New York
“The City that Never Sleeps” is a city that needs no introduction,
of course. The Statue of Liberty has not moved, Central Park still
stretches from 59th street to 110th Street (between Fifth and
Eighth Avenues), and the Museum of Natural History still stands
more or less across the park from the Guggenheim Museum and the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, in Upper West and Upper East sides
respectively, and the Empire State Building is still there,
towering over Fifth Avenue at 34th Street.
However, even for regular visitors, things do change...
