There is nowhere in the world quite like New York City. Between the sights, the smells, and everything in between “the city” can often seem overwhelming, but no other city can compare. There is no doubt that New York City is the greatest city in the world.

1. The Food

Is there anything more important than good food? Us New Yorkers don’t think so. Other people may think that they have the best pizza and bagels, but they clearly have not had them in New York. Wherever you are in New York you can rest assured that there will be an abundance of tasty food from a variety of different cultures.

Most people can agree that New Yorkers are known to be rude, but that's what adds to the character of the city. In New York it is easy to not care about what anyone else thinks of you. You can do whatever you want and act however you want and the chances are that there will be someone even bolder than you.

3. The Sights

There are so many places in New York City to visit. You can see the Empire State Building from blocks away and the High Line gives you an incredible view of the city from above the ground. Walking down any particular block you can find beautiful buildings regardless if they are old or new.

4. The Diversity

New York City is one of the most diverse cities in the world. A short walk down any street will show you people from all walks of life. By being so diverse, New York finds a place for everyone who visits. The city itself is diverse as well as no two areas of the city look similar, which helps to build the character of each area.

5. The Activities

It's impossible to be bored in New York City as there is always something going on. On any particular day you can attend a Broadway show, concert, sporting event, parade, or museum, you can find a new cafe, people watch at the park and anything else that pleases you. The nonstop activity adds to the thrill of being in the city.

No matter what kind of person you are there is something for everybody to love about New York City.
