The City of Dreams - and much more

New York is a vibrant city. You probably have heard, it never sleeps. And as Frank said again and again: "If you can make it here you can make it anywhere."

It's a concrete jungle where dreams are made. More than 8.5 million people from all over the world call the Big Apple home, and another 63 million or so (in 2017) visit it every year. That happens for a good reason: no matter what you love or which are your interests – art, food, architecture, photography, shopping, sightseeing, theater, music, romance, adventure, exploration – New York is the place where you can find it all and much more. It's a new surprise on every corner, every day. Just have your eyes and sensibility open. In New York you can learn a new thing every single day.

One of the biggest challenges for New Yorkers is trying to get out of the so-called "busy trap" (you know, all that 'so busy,' 'crazy busy' stuff) and rediscover the city with fresh eyes. And if you can make it here, you will feel like a newborn. So, why not give it a try?

In this section you will find stories, videos, short films, and tips to enjoy New York City to the fullest. Like a local resident with fresh eyes.
