New York City

Is there any other American city that has a hold on the world's imagination like New York? Los Angeles may have more glamor, Boston more of an old world air, and Washington more power, but when people worldwide think "American City," they think New York. It's the city of Holly Golightly and Lily Bart, Carrie Bradshaw and Big. It's the city Woody Allen put on film and Leonard Bernstein set to music.
The reality of New York is every bit as spellinding. It's the nation's literary, financial, and artistic capital. And it is staggeringly huge and diverse. New York City has more people than the entire Republic of Ireland. New York City residents speak more than 120 languages. If it were a country, it would have a GDP comparable to Switzerland's.
The sources I've gathered here include political news, restaurant recommendations, and overheard conversations. You’ll find out what you might want to do if you visit and what life might be like if you move there. You'll get a sense of the problems, the pleasures and inimitable reality of life in this city of superlatives.
