New York City

Ever the bustling metropolis, New York City never seems to stop moving. The city features the best in entertainment, the arts, shopping, and dining. In New York are famed landmarks like the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Times Square among many others. The city also offers many different options for sporting events, including the Mets, Yankees, Knicks and Rangers.

The top picture on the right shows the city skyline after the September 11th attacks, with lights shining up into the sky in remembrance. Below it is the city as it was before it was marred by this horrible act of inhumanity. Though the city still mourns those lost and continually remembers them, their vitality doesn't allow them to be victims.

Looking back to the origins of New York City, we find that it was purchased from Native Americans for a pithy exchange of money. Comparing then to now, it's easy to see that New York City is now worth billions due to the commercial lifeline running through it.

No matter what you enjoy, there's much to do in the city that never sleeps.
