To most visitors and native New Yorkers, the city’s past is told principally through its modern icons like the Empire State Building or through its famous museums that focus more on world history than telling the stories of New York’s past. If you venture beyond these well known tourist attractions, the wealth of historical landmarks - which truly document the history of one of the oldest cities in America - are just waiting to be discovered.
From Wall Street's skyscrapers to the magnificent lights of Times Square to Central Park's tree-lined paths, New York City pulses with an unstoppable energy. History meets the latest trends in this global center of entertainment, fashion, media, and finance. World-class museums like the MoMA and iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty should be at the top of your to-see list, but discovering the subtler aspects of New York's great ambition is equally rewarding: ethnic enclaves and shops, historic streets of brownstones, and hip bars and eateries all add to the urban buzz. There's always something to explore in the city that never sleeps!
