New York is probably something most people think of very often and many had visited it at least once in their life time. The beauty of visiting New York is that no matter how many times you go, it always seems you’ve never been there before. To my experience, Paris is the other city bringing such feelings..
Here is the short statement from Wikipedia:
New York City comprises 5 boroughs sitting where the Hudson River meets the Atlantic Ocean. At its core is Manhattan, a densely−populated borough that’s among the world’s major commercial, financial and cultural centers.
