thumb|upright=1.3|[[Central Park is pretty at any time of the year.]] New York City is a major global center of international finance, politics, communications, film, music, fashion, and culture, and is among the world's most important and influential cities. It is home to many world-class museums, art galleries, and theaters. Many of the world's largest corporations have their headquarters here. The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York and most countries have a consulate here. This city's influence on the world and all its inhabitants is hard to overstate, as decisions made within its boundaries often have impacts and ramifications around the globe.
Immigrants (and their descendants) from over 180 countries live here, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Travelers are attracted to New York City for its culture, energy and cosmopolitanism.
Like most of the great world cities, New York has an abundance of great attractions—so many, that it would be impossible to list them all here. What follows is but a sampling of the most high-profile attractions in New York City; more detailed info can be found in the district pages.
A general word of advice on sightseeing in New York: Tourists often spend their entire vacation in New York standing in line (or as New Yorkers say, "on line"). This is often unnecessary; there are usually alternatives. For example, one can choose to avoid the Empire State Building during the day (it is open, and much quieter, late, until 2AM), skip the Statue of Liberty in favor of the Staten Island Ferry, and stay away from the Guggenheim on Monday (it is one of the only museums open that day). Also, there is no reason to stand in line for a Broadway show if you already have a ticket with an assigned seat. If you prefer, get a drink nearby and come back closer to curtain time, when you can walk right in. The lines for bus tours can be absurd because tourists all seem to have exactly the same itinerary, which is get on a bus in the morning in Times Square, get off for the Statue of Liberty, and finish on the East Side in the afternoon. Why not go downtown in the morning, and save Midtown for the afternoon? You will thank yourself for avoiding the crowds. Also, understand that buses are the slowest way to go crosstown in Midtown Manhattan during peak hours, and taxis are not much better. You are…
It is not a lie: New York City is one of the world's most expensive cities. One survey revealed that the city is the most expensive city in the world for expatriate workers. That being said, there are ways to limit the damage; food is available from many halal food trucks for $7-10, which will get you rice with meat, vegetables and a soft drink, and you can still find inexpensive pizza slices at many of the hole-in-the-wall pizzerias throughout the city. Supermarkets and convenience stores generally also sell basic items at reasonable prices (by Western standards). New York's public bathroom infrastructure is lacking, so buying an item at a facility with a bathroom is generally advisable if you are far from your accommodation.
New York (prononcé en anglais : /nu ˈjɔɹk/), officiellement nommée City of New York, connue également sous les noms et abréviations de New York City ou NYC (pour éviter la confusion avec l'État de New York), et dont le surnom le plus connu est The Big Apple (« La grosse pomme »), est la plus grande ville des États-Unis en nombre d'habitants et l'une des plus importantes du continent américain et du monde. Elle se situe dans le Nord-Est du pays, sur la côte atlantique, à l'extrémité sud-est de l'État de New York. La ville de New York se compose de cinq arrondissements appelés boroughs : Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, le Bronx et Staten Island. Ses habitants s'appellent les New-Yorkais (en anglais : New Yorkers). New York exerce un impact significatif sur le commerce mondial, la finance, les médias, l'art, la mode, la recherche, la technologie, l'éducation, le divertissement et le tourisme, regroupant l'ensemble des caractéristiques d'une ville mondiale. Si elle n'est plus la capitale fédérale des États-Unis depuis plus de deux siècles (elle occupe cette fonction de 1785 à 1790), New York alimente pendant quelques décennies une rivalité financière et politique avec Philadelphie. Il n'en reste pas moins que New York est la ville la plus peuplée du pays depuis 1790, avec 8 804 190 habitants selon le Bureau du recensement des États-Unis (recensement officiel de 2020) et la ville anglophone la plus peuplée au monde. Elle est aussi la troisième plus grande ville du continent américain derrière Mexico et São Paulo. Située au cœur de la mégalopole du BosWash, l'agglomération new-yorkaise (20 320 876 habitants) s'étend sur plusieurs comtés de l'État de New York (banlieues est et nord) et empiète sur deux États limitrophes. En effet, l'État du New Jersey comprend ses banlieues ouest et sud, et celui du Connecticut comprend ses banlieues nord-est. Son aire urbaine quant à elle comptait 24 millions d'habitants en 2017. La ville et sa région métropolitaine constituent la première porte d'entrée pour l'immigration légale aux États-Unis. Pas moins de 800 langues sont parlées à New York, ce qui en fait la ville la plus linguistiquement diversifiée au monde. New York abrite plus de 3,2 millions de résidents nés à l'étranger, la plus grande population née à l'étranger de toutes les grandes villes du monde en 2016. Avec notamment Genève, Bâle et Strasbourg, New York est l'une des rares villes au monde à être le siège de plusieurs institutions internationales sans être capitale politique d’un État. New York accueille quelque 50 millions de visiteurs annuellement. Times Square, « The Crossroads of the World (« Le carrefour du monde ») », est l'une des intersections les plus populaires du monde, et le quartier des théâtres de Broadway est la plaque tournante du spectacle dans le pays tout entier et un centre majeur de l'industrie du divertissement dans le monde. La ville abrite un grand nombre de ponts et tunnels (789 en 2012), gratte-ciel et parcs de renommée mondiale. New York se place en tête dans la triade des grands centres financiers mondiaux avec Londres et Hong Kong. Le quartier financier de New York, ancré par Wall Street dans le Lower Manhattan, fonctionne ainsi comme la « capitale financière du monde », abritant les deux plus grandes bourses du monde par capitalisation, le New York Stock Exchange (Bourse de New York) et le NASDAQ, tandis que le nouveau One World Trade Center est le plus haut gratte-ciel d'Amérique du Nord. De plus, le marché immobilier de Manhattan est parmi les plus chers au monde. New York abrite également le plus grand nombre de milliardaires de toutes les villes du monde. New York est frappée le 11 septembre 2001 par le plus grave attentat ayant jamais touché les États-Unis : deux avions de ligne détournés par des terroristes membres d'Al-Qaïda percutent les tours jumelles du World Trade Center et les détruisent entièrement. En 2021, la reconstruction du quartier n'est pas encore achevée. New York est l'une des villes les plus cosmopolites du monde, par ses nombreux quartiers ethniques. Les plus connus sont Little Italy, ou encore Chinatown qui intègre la plus forte concentration de population chinoise des Amériques. Enfin, New York accueille des institutions d'importance mondiale. On peut notamment citer le siège de l'ONU, mais aussi de nombreux sièges de multinationales, des centres culturels tels que le Metropolitan Museum of Art, le Brooklyn Museum, le Museum of Modern Art, le Lincoln Center et des salles de spectacle de renommée mondiale comme le Madison Square Garden. De nombreuses universités réputées sont situées à New York, notamment l'université de la ville de New York, l'université Columbia, l'université de New York, et l'université Rockefeller, qui sont classées parmi les 50 meilleures universités du monde.

New York is the fashion capital of the United States, and is a major shopping destination for people around the world. The city boasts an unmatched range of department stores, boutiques, and specialty shops. Some neighborhoods boast more shopping options than most other American cities and have become famous as consumer destinations. Anything you could possibly want to buy can be found in New York, including clothing, cameras, computers and accessories, music, musical instruments, electronic equipment, art supplies, sporting goods, and all kinds of foodstuffs and kitchen appliances. See the borough pages and district sub-pages for listings of some of the more important stores and major business districts, of which there are several. New York state has…
New York has, as you might expect of the Big Apple, all the eating options covered and you can find almost every type of food available and every cuisine of the world represented. There are literally tens of thousands of restaurants, ranging from dingy cheap pizza-by-the-slice joints to $500-a-plate prix fixe sushi. Thousands of delis, bodegas, and grocery stores dot every corner of the city and do it yourself meals are easy and cheap to find. Street food comes in various tastes, ranging from the ubiquitous New York hot dog vendors to the many Middle Eastern carts at street corners in Midtown. Fast food is as plentiful and as diverse as you can imagine. Fruit stalls appear at many intersections from spring to fall with ready-to-eat strawberries, bananas, apples, etc. available at very low cost. Vegetarian and vegan options abound throughout the city.
Last call can be as late as 4AM, although many establishments will let you stay beyond that, especially in the outer boroughs. It is not uncommon to be locked in a bar after 4AM so people can keep drinking. Wine and liquor are sold at liquor stores, and are not sold at delis or supermarkets. Beer cannot be bought between 4AM and 8AM on Sunday morning (although if you look hard, you can get around this).
As in most American cities, drinking alcoholic beverages on the street is illegal. The law is flouted openly in many areas, but bars will not generally let you take your drink outside.
Free WiFi is available in city parks and quite a few public libraries. The Apple Store has dozens of computers set up and doesn't seem to mind that many people use them for free internet access, but they can be pretty busy at times. Easy Internet Cafe and FedEx Office are just some of the internet cafes which offer broadband internet at reasonable prices. Finding a store with an open power outlet may be difficult so be sure your device is fully charged and its battery is working properly. There are now some free phone charging stations on the street if you are running out of power. Remember to include the 1 and area code when dialing from any phone in New York City - including private "land line" phones in buildings - as 11-digit dialing is always in effect, even when dialing locally. However, you don't need to dial 1 from a cell phone.
New York is the safest large city in the United States, and its crime rate per person is lower than the national average and the crime rate of many small towns. You can be assured of a high police presence in Times Square, public transportation hubs and other major crowded places.
The most common crime against tourists (not including being overcharged, or scammed in the Times Square area) is bag snatching. Never let go of your handbag (putting other bags down is OK, as long as you guard them carefully), especially in the subway but also when eating at a restaurant. Take special care if you are sitting outdoors or in a crowded self-service restaurant. Leave your passport and other valuables that you don't need to carry in a hotel safe or hidden in your suitcase. Don't flaunt a wad of money if you can help it; if you want to be safer, count your money in your room before you go out and take only what you think you may need. Unless you have protective outer wear, consider not wearing expensive jewelry, and hide valuables like cameras when you're not using them.
While muggings are rare, they do happen. Take a tip from seasoned New Yorkers and always try to be aware of who's walking near you in all directions (especially behind you), at all times. Always be aware of your surroundings, especially if you find yourself on a lightly traveled or poorly lit street. Certain neighborhoods that are off the tourist path can be avoided in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. Riv…
Locals would ask why you ever want to leave, but New York is a great jumping-off point to other locations in the metro area (including New Jersey and Connecticut) or anywhere in the Boston-Washington Megalopolis corridor.
