New York Overview
New York City, affectionately called the center of the universe, is mostly a cluster of small pleasant neighborhoods. New York, New York consists of five unique boroughs. In whichever lovely NYC neighborhood you find best fits your vision for your near-term future, you can expect to experience a way of life like no other in the United States. It’s the best of all urban worlds. You have the most convenient possible access to anything you may need or want. Good employment opportunities are phenomenally abundant. Every imaginable world-leading academic, cultural, art, entertainment, or creative culinary option is merely blocks away. The mega-city’s economic power is so immense that it makes the state of New York one of the world’s largest economies. It’s no wonder that so many new young professionals pour into the area every year to take up residence in New York City rentals and embark upon the urban adventure of a lifetime. Many pursue financial careers on Wall Street, technology, communications, or shipping occupations, or business endeavors. Others come as new lawyers, aspiring corporate professionals, or workers in healthcare, the area’s largest industry employer.
What is the history of New York?
From the earliest settlers to the latest Manhattan innovators, coastal New York residents have always reached for the sky. In 1624, Dutch settlers came to Manhattan Island and established the village of New Amsterdam. In 1664, the British seized control and renamed it New York. As one of the first 13 colonies, NY was an essential force in the Revolutionary War. From the late 1800s to the mid-1900s, many millions of immigrants from all over the world were processed into the country through Ellis Island in New York Harbor on track to become U.S. American citizens. With the establishment of the New York Stock Exchange, the city became a global economic center. The seaport city has continued to advance aggressively to the present day as a global center of finance, corporate administration, academics, fashion design, music, theater, art, culinary creation, and trend-setting U.S. American culture.
How do I get around town?
This is a place you’ve dreamed of — a mega-city where you may be better off without a car. New York City has the largest public transportation system in North America. From the ubiquitous yellow taxicabs to ridesharing options, to the city buses, to the subway, to simply walking, it’s typically easier to get around the city efficiently by some form of public transportation than by private car. There is an astounding network of over 200 bus routes, 500 subway stations, and countless taxis, Ubers, and other options. The NYC Metropolitan Transit Authority transports nearly 2.5 million passengers daily. The subway and buses are cheap to ride and can quickly get you virtually anywhere you want to go. By contrast, using a private car requires paying fees, finding elusive parking, and meeting other serious responsibilities that are extremely expensive and time-consuming.
Why live in New York, NY?
What makes New York City such a special place to live? There’s no place like NY, NY. It’s the global leader in art, theater, music, culture, education, historical preservation, culinary creation, nightlife, and fashion. The Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, hundreds of art galleries, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, Central Park venue, the Statue of Liberty, the American Museum of Natural History, the dozen most famous Broadway theaters, the wonderful off-broadway experience. The many enclaves in boroughs throughout the metro area with hidden special venues for blues, jazz, reggae, poetry, and other genres you may crave. NYC is the best place on earth for making life-changing personal and professional connections. Everywhere you look around you in New York is some point of interest or some amazing opportunity or cause for inspiration. It’s all supported by a public transportation system that actually encourages residents not to own a car. Yes, Manhattan rentals and the cost of living are higher than the U.S. national average here. On the other hand, the NYC average annual income is commensurately higher than the average. So, predictably, overall, residents who remain in NYC have determined that the cost trade-offs make sense for them.
What New York landmarks should I see?
Everywhere you look in NYC is a monument to a profound legacy or an institution that is creating one. NYC is packed with historical monuments and buildings, famous academic institutions, and districts of great cultural importance. Just to name a few key points of interest for visitors, downtown Manhattan, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the Staten Island Ferry, all of Broadway, Times Square, Wall Street, The New York Stock Exchange, Yankee Stadium, Greenwich Village, Washington Square Park, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Guggenheim, The Museum of Natural History, The Museum of Modern Art, Central Park, and others should not be missed. Others to visit, in no particular order, include the Flushing Meadow Park Globe sculpture, Yankee Stadium, Coney Island, The United Nations, Radio City Music Hall, Grand Central Station, and browse the globally renowned campuses of Cornell, Columbia University, Pratt University, and the famous Parsons School of Design.
What is there to do around New York?
At the center of the recreation and entertainment universe, there’s nothing you can’t do in New York, New York. Every borough of NYC features lots of fun things to do. In Manhattan, you can spend many days going from one world-famous museum to another or just lounging on the big lawn of Central Park. Take in some private galleries too, and let yourself be distracted among the man-made mountains of the Manhattan skyscrapers. In Queens, throw your Frisbee under the Flushing Meadow Park monument to the World’s Fair once held there. Sample the best cuisine on earth in every price range possible throughout the boroughs. Enjoy the world’s best nightlife in any borough. You’re in New York! Spend some time at the New York Aquarium. Shop in great Brooklyn vintage shops. Go to the nearby beach at Coney Island. Get a hot dog at Nathan’s. Take the subway to the landing within feet of the Yankee Stadium entry and kick back for an afternoon at the game. Check out the Bronx Museum of the Arts. Go to Chinatown and Little Italy. Take the Staten Island Ferry and visit friends in that suburban atmosphere for a weekend barbeque in the region’s vast parklands, and so much more.
Where is the best place to move in New York?
Take a few days and visit every borough to make sure the neighborhood you choose is a match for your energy and tastes before you rent an apartment in New York City. There are many small neighborhoods within each borough, so it’s recommended that you do your research to help yourself better understand the options before signing a lease in NYC. Some of the most popular neighborhoods for newcomers are in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Manhattan is the hub of public activity for the entire set of boroughs and all national and international tourism. The island is just 22 square miles, but it leaves nothing out that you may need or want while you’re there. The world is just at your fingertips. Call and it will arrive quickly at your door. At the farther end of the spectrum of urban lifestyles visit Queens and even Staten Island for more space between yourself and neighbors, and plan to hop on the subway or bus over to Manhattan for most major entertainment events, Broadway shows, etc. Just decide what suits your preferences for your home environment. You can be confident that there’s a place for everyone’s preferred way of life in New York.
