New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world. It has a significant influence on commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, dining, art, fashion, and sports.
It is also the most photographed city in the world and home to the headquarters of the United Nations.
Some even go as far as labeling it the capital of the world.
With its densely packed population, especially on the tiny island of Manhattan, you would think it is a place to avoid – and I did avoid it for a very long time.
I finally broke down and spent a few days in this magnificent city, and I am glad I did.
