New York

Situated on America's Mid-Atlantic coast, the city rivals any in the world with its stunning grandeur, outstanding cultural riches and down-right coolness.

The starting point for America's "melting pot", the city's diversity sparkles as brightly as the lights of Broadway and is reflected in the enormity of wonderful things to see and do.

Whether it's the treasures of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the excitement of a Knicks home game or the smooth and smoky vibes of a downtown jazz club, New York truly is the city that has it all.
