New York City has always been a city of superlatives: largest, tallest, trendiest, best. It's also one of the world's most resilient. Although the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 left their scars, New Yorkers quickly rediscovered their optimism. They like their hometown. They wouldn't dream of living anywhere else.
New York offers more to see and do than you can manage in one visit. You'll find the finest selection of entertainment, museums and restaurants in the world. Some stunning new attractions have opened, and some old favorites have been rebuilt and refurbished like an old Broadway musical. But the New York City skyline is still the awe-inspiring star. True, two amazing icons are missing, but look up: Does any city have as many world-famous landmarks? The Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, Lincoln Center, the Flatiron Building, and the bridges—Brooklyn, Queensboro, Verrazzano—are just a few. Most reassuring of all: The Statue of Liberty is still there, waiting to say hello.
