New York – the city that never sleeps! Always buzzing and filled with an energy few big cities manage to express, New York is the home of politicians and celebrities, sports heroes and fashion designers. Iconic yellow taxis blare their horns, tourists stream through Times Square by the thousands, and the New York Stock Exchange keeps on churning. New York is comprised of five boroughs: Manhattan – which houses some of the world’s most important financial, cultural and commercial centres; Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island and The Bronx, each with a distinct flavour, culture and way of life. Iconic sights include the Empire State Building, sprawling Central Park, the Statue of Liberty – best viewed from the Staten Island ferry, the 9/11 Memorial in Downtown, and Broadway in neon-lit Times Square. Time never stands still in New York, that is why it is called a “New York Minute.”
