Magic springs from the city’s diverse mix of people and cultures.
New York City packs a vibrant diversity — of people, culture, architecture and nature — into a compact area. Finding iconic spots in the madness is easy. But understanding the rhythm of the city requires exploration. It means experiencing the homegrown with the imported, the historic with the fresh, the world-class with the down-to-earth. Discovering the city’s heart can be challenging, but it makes for an exciting ride.
