Welcome to New York City, The home of multi culture, the yellow cab, the street vendor, the skyscraper, the five boroughs, the subway, Central park, celebrity, bridges and the 24/7.

The Concrete Jungle, The Big Apple, The Capital of the World, Gotham, Empire City, The City of Dreams, The City That Never Sleeps.

Good is New York City Because wherever you were born, you are a New Yorker now. With the most diverse population, millions of us New Yorkers were not born in this state or even this country, but once you’re here you’re home.

Because if it’s 1am on Tuesday evening and you want to hang a picture, eat sushi, drink a Brooklyn micro brew, and get lucky, you can have them all delivered, thanks to your local hardware store, Japanese restaurant, bodega, and “massage” parlor.

Because you can travel the world without leaving your neighborhood. Where else can you stand on a street corner and hear 10 different languages spoken? And within 3 blocks encounter food from a dozen various countries yet still be in the United States.

Because we still get our meat from the butcher, our fish from the fish market, our cheese from a cheese shop, and there isn’t a Wal-Mart or Meijers in town.
