The global city of New York sits on the Hudson River, beside the Atlantic Ocean. It is a bustling hive of activity, where a diverse blend of cultures meets. From the famous skyline to the excellent shopping opportunities and world-famous shows, there is plenty of glitz and glamour but there are also quieter, yet equally intriguing, ways to enjoy the city. View the action from a yellow NYC Taxi or hop on board the Staten Island Ferry to take it all in from the water. In both Chinatown and Little Italy, the restaurants are highly specialized, but you can always pick up a hot dog from a street stall like the locals do.
