About New York City
New York City bündelt Wolkenkratzer, berühmte Museen, Broadway-Theater und Dutzende eigenständige Viertel in fünf Stadtbezirken, die Tag und Nacht brummen.
Manhattan ist die klassische erste Station. Der Times Square leuchtet über dem Theaterviertel, der Central Park erstreckt sich über viele Blocks zwischen Upper East Side und Upper West Side, und Empire State Building, Chrysler Building und Rockefeller Center prägen die Skyline von Midtown. Im Süden liegen das 9/11 Memorial, die Wall Street und die Brooklyn Bridge nahe beieinander, und Boote fahren an der Freiheitsstatue vorbei nach Ellis Island.
