Travel to New York City and you\’ll find a land unlike anything you have ever seen before. You can take one of the many cheap cruises and tour the harbour where the Statue of Liberty stands as a symbol of freedom to all immigrants. Penetrate the interior of the city and check out the many restaurants that make New York famous with culinary critics from around the world. You find the food filling and the experience rewarding.
There are many things that native New Yorkers take pride in and eating is definitely one of them. With a selection of restaurants that serve food from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and remote islands in the South Pacific, New Yorkers can brag that they have everything when it comes to variety of cuisine. Many of the immigrants who came to this city in the twentieth century have moved on so a good portion of the population is within a generation or two of their homeland.
Among those ancestral experiences are the tastes of a homemade Jewish bagel or the smell of Italian pasta sauce. The pizza in New York is not a style that was imported from Italy. It was created right here along the banks of the Hudson, thin crust pies cut into large slices that you have to fold in half to eat. When you\’ve finished with one you can travel half a block in any direction and enjoy a slice of authentic New York City cheesecake.
There are a few places on earth that can be deemed as completely unique and New York City is definitely one of them. It\’s a combination of factors that make it that way. The people are not friendly as a rule but they are open and honest about how they feel. The food is good because so many cultures are represented here and all of them are striving to produce better cuisine than their neighbours.
New York City is accessible by sea, air or land. Thousands arrive and depart from the city every single day for business, personal and political reasons. The United Nations headquarters is in New York City, Wall Street is in New York City, and in the borough of the city known as the Bronx you can find the MLB 2009 World Champion New York Yankees. Ask any New Yorker about them and you\’ll no doubt hear about a history of success that goes back over one hundred years, some complaining about the latest management move, and a prediction for next year. That\’s what they do in New York.
