I could write for hours and still not be able to properly explain the greatness that is New York City. I believe every person should experience the fast paced "Big Apple" at least once in their life (you won't regret it, I guarantee that).

The Melting Pot

New York City is like one, big melting pot. You will find people from all across the world, for both business and pleasure, wandering the vast streets of the city. You will meet and have conversations with some of the most interesting people here. The city is so diverse in its culture, communities and cuisine. People run to NYC because of all it offers. They come to New York City to chase their dreams, look for love or just find themselves. Every time I visit, I explore one of the five boroughs of the city. Each are so unique and offer something different. There truly is something for everyone in this city.

24/7

"The city that never sleeps" is not an exaggeration. A lot of people are turned off by the sleepless city because it is always loud, crowded and constantly moving. But that's what makes it so unique and amazing. No matter what is going on, the city keeps going, shining brighter and ringing louder.

There's always something to look at, whether it be a beautifully architected building or one of the many unique characters you will find in the city. Of course, NYC is home to some of the most famous landmarks. Experiencing the breathtaking skyline view at the top of the Empire State Building and visiting her majesty the Statue of Liberty are definite musts when visiting the city.

When you're ready to take a break from the skyscrapers and taxis, Central Park offers a sense of peacefulness. Centered in the middle of the city, the enormous park offers beautiful gardens, a lake, a wonderful zoo and even a castle with a view (crazy, right?).

Now, this city is definitely not perfect. You will walk through some sketchy areas, smell some funky scents and see a handful of weirdos. But the pros heavily outweigh the cons here.

City of Dreams

When I visit this city, it always seems to change me in a way. It always encourages me to dream bigger, be more confident and be more open to all possibilities. It's always an eye-opening experience when I visit, sparking passion within me and inspiring me to strive for greatness and reach for my dreams.
