New York City stretches across five boroughs on three islands at the mouth of New York Harbor. The "City That Never Sleeps" is home to world-renowned landmarks like neon-lit Times Square, the iconic Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, and the acclaimed theaters of the Broadway district.

Visitors can travel out to quaint Staten Island aboard the historic Staten Island Ferry, peruse the hip shops and art galleries of trendy borough Brooklyn, or view sites connected to the 1964 World's Fair preserved at Queens' Flushing Meadows-Corona Park.

World-renowned museums abound, including Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Whitney Museum of American Art. History buffs can explore the preserved attractions of Battery Park or pay their respects to the victims of the September 11 terrorist attack at several attractions connected to the former World Trade Center towers site. All five boroughs showcase some of the world's best cuisine options, including restaurants operated by celebrity chefs in elite neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and SoHo.
