I Love New York Guide [antikvár]

INTRODUCTIONNew York! It's the ultimate urban experiencereviled by those who hate it and revered by those who love it (a distinct majority).More than anything else, New York is a city of superlatives, a place where the best, the brightest, the biggest is the norm. That's what comes of having world-class theater, music, museums, and galleries. Add to this an even longer agenda of world-renowned shops and restaurants, and you know why it's a magnet for tourists and why its natives are so fiercely proud.But remember that New York has always been defined by its diversity, so after you have done the expectedthe Met, the Modern, Mad Ave, Lincoln Center, the Empire State Building, and on and off Broadway theatergo exploring. See a tiger in the Bronx, visit a Tibetan temple on Staten Island, sail the East River on a 70-foot yawl, have a drink above the clouds at Windows on the World, eat a meal in Chinatown, cross the "border" into Little Italy for a pastry and coffee, then walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and gaze back at the picture-postcard-perfect view of what this native New Yorker knows to be the greatest city in the world.If I could, I would take every visitor to the city by the hand and show him or her my New Yorkthis book is the next best thing; as for natives, it was written for me and, by extension, for them. It is intended to make your relationship with New York, whether you are a visitor or a native, more than it could otherwise be. To know New York is to love New York, and this book is dedicated to that end.
