I love New York
New York City is a city like no other and it will always be special to me not only because I was born there but also because no matter where I may live and for how long, New York will always remain my true home. So yes proud to be a New Yorker!
As I mentioned above, New York is my true home. It is a true melting point where you can find people from all over the world. Where else in the world can you find restaurants offering foods from 20 different countries within walking distance of each other.
Here are some reasons why I love this beautiful city:
Why I love New York City
World’s Capital
New York City attracts the best and the brightest from all corners of the globe in finance, technology, arts, fashion, culinary arts and almost every field of human endeavor and this is why it is a global leader in many industries.
World’s Most Diverse Job Market
No city in United States or the world can compete with NYC in number of jobs it generates in a bewildering variety of industries and niches. No matter how exotic your skill, you are likely to find your dream job.
Silicon Alley
Silicon Valley may be world’s tech capital but New York is a close second and has attracted technical companies of all sort. There are also thousands of IT departments in the multitude of industries New York attracts
World’s Cultural Capital
No one can compare with New York’s world class museums and theaters. It also has been a birthplace of many music and painting trends. Broadway is world center of theater where all major shows either originate or aspire to be shown.
World’s Most Diverse City
This has to world’s most diverse city with people from almost all religions, nations, ethnicities and culture calling it home living happily with their neighbors and studying and working alongside them while preserving their identities and cultures at the same time.
All Cuisines of the World
Almost all countries of the world are represented in NYC and they have brought their food here and there are ethnic conclaves all over NYC four boroughs so if you don’t want Americanized versions of their cuisines you can go to these neighborhoods to try the real thing. This is perhaps the only city in the world where you can eat a unique dish every day of the year and still not run out of new dishes to try.
Extensive Public Transport
Subway is relatively inexpensive and along with the public bus system interconnects all four boroughs of the sprawling city. As you use them, you witness not only the great diversity of races and languages but also classes
The Skyscrapers
New York has some of the oldest skyscrapers. For a long while Empire State Building remained world’s tallest building. Manhattan has skyscrapers dotting its skyline in many of its parts and not just the Downtown as is the case in many cities
Global Hub
There are flights to and from New York to almost every corner of the globe. More than 100 airlines from more than 50 countries operate flights to JFK Airport.
Central Park
Central Park is one of world’s largest city parks. It is a whopping 840 acres extensive, it always has something going on. It is the lungs for the Concrete Jungle and a place to relax, exercise and to have fun.
