New York, the true capital of the United States, has a lot to offer and also lives up to all hopes and expectations.
Its streets are full of pulsating life. Anyone ready to dive into the city will discover a lot and be surprised by the variety of possibilities: many sights, 500 galleries, 200 museums, 150 theatres, ...
While former artist quarters Soho and Tribecca have turned into shopping areas and postcodes for high-earners, the East Village remains the colourful centre for long-time residents, gay clubs and trendy boutiques. The Upper West Side is arguably the most prestigious address; here, the nanny pushes the pram. Industrial chic dominates the Meatpacking District. During the day, it’s a place to shop, at night a place to party at one of the many in-clubs. Currently, the trendiest borough is Brooklyn; especially Williamsburg is increasingly attracting people from Downtown and Uptown Manhattan.
The best way to discover New York is by walking through the different areas off the beaten tourist tracks. This is the only way to get to the core of the city and see the true New York with all its different facets.
