The most beguiling city in the world, New York is
an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense
romantic appeal for visitors. Wandering the streets here, you'll
cut between buildings that are icons to the modern age - and whether
gazing at the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as
you speed across the Queensboro bridge, experiencing the 4am half-life
downtown, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry,
you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it
all. There's no place quite like it.
While the events of September 11, 2001, which demolished
the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core, the populace
responded resiliently under the composed aegis of then-Mayor Rudy
Giuliani. Until the attacks, many New Yorkers loved to hate Giuliani,
partly because they saw him as committed to making their city
too much like everyone else's. To some extent he succeeded, and
during the late Nineties New York seemed cleaner, safer, and more
liveable, as the city took on a truly international allure and
shook off the more notorious aspects to its reputation. However,
the maverick quality of New York and its people still shines as
brightly as it ever did. Even in the aftermath of the World Trade
Center's collapse, New York remains a unique and fascinating city
- and one you'll want to return to again and again.
You could spend weeks in New York and still barely
scratch the surface, but there are some key attractions - and
some pleasures - that you won't want to miss. There are the different
ethnic neighborhoods , like lower Manhattan's
Chinatown and the traditionally Jewish Lower East Side (not so
much anymore); and the more artsy concentrations of SoHo, TriBeCa,
and the East and West Villages. Of course, there is the celebrated
architecture of corporate Manhattan, with the
skyscrapers in downtown and midtown forming the most indelible
images. There are the museums , not just the
Metropolitan and MoMA, but countless other smaller collections
that afford weeks of happy wandering. In between sights, you can
eat just about anything, at any time, cooked
in any style; you can drink in any kind of company;
and sit through any number of obscure movies
. The more established arts - dance, theater, music
- are superbly catered for; and New York's clubs
are as varied and exciting as you might expect. And for the avid
consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost
numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist
dream.
