New York City is the Big Apple! A study in contrasts, it is sophisticated and down-to-earth, \u200estimulating and relaxing. Its people \u2013 and restaurants \u2013 are highly diverse. There is almost too \u200emuch to see and do \u2013 world-class museums, Broadway shows, world-famous sports teams, \u200eand the 24-hour-a-day subway to get you where you want to go.
