New York, New York: So Good They Named It Twice

With many cities across the world, there is an association which is at least in part designed to represent what that city is said to be about. These associations serve as a useful hook for travel writers and marketers of the city, and many have become so ingrained in the public conscious it is hard to disassociate the city from the words.

The main association with New York City is that it is the city that never sleeps. This is largely attributed to the fact that the city is a bustling, thriving metropolis, the hub of the Western world with powers that not even sunset can conquer. For any tourist looking for variety and spice, this so-called sleepless city is the answer to your prayers.

New York city has the ability to cater to almost everything a tourist could desire, with the only exception being large open spaces and clear air (though this can be found a few miles from the city itself in upper New York state). If arts and literature are your thing, there’s the famous Broadway and its associated shows; many of which features stars of stage and screen that are household names.

There is also a bustling, throbbing nightlife, as well as some of the most respected restaurants in the world. New bars and clubs are opening constantly across the city, meaning that no matter how many times you visit, there will always be something new and exciting to see and do.

The city is also packed to bursting with art and historical museums, including the world renowned Guggenheim Museum of Art. There are also architectural triumphs to visit, such as the Statue of Liberty and the famous Empire State Building. On more somber level, but still a popular tourist attraction, there is Ground Zero; the site of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, where the two World Trade Center buildings once stood.

With all that to see and do, you may find it is not just New York itself that doesn’t have time to sleep!
