New York City is known as the "City That Never Sleeps" for its lively cultural attractions, fast-paced lifestyle, and internationally-renowned landmarks. The city, which is home to a metropolitan population of more than 23 million residents, is home to iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty, which sits at the entrance to New York Harbor, and the Empire State Building, located in central borough Manhattan's Midtown district. Neon-illuminated Times Square is home to vibrant shopping and dining destinations, while the elite theaters of Broadway showcase the world's greatest theatrical performances. The city's subway system, the largest of its kind in the world, offers easy access to the city's other four boroughs, including hipster-friendly Brooklyn and diverse Queens, home of Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, which preserves attractions connected to the 1964 World's Fair.
