Overview
Welcome to the city that never sleeps. New York is less a city and more of an event, a place where youll feel the electric pulse of the world in the air. Your port on the Hudson drops you right into the action, a short walk from the neon-drenched spectacle of Times Square and the dazzling lights of the Broadway theater district. This is a city of icons. Take the ferry to the Statue of Liberty, stand in the middle of Grand Central, or walk the Brooklyn Bridge. But the real magic is in its neighborhoods. Explore the chic, cobblestone streets of the West Village, the artistic energy of the Lower East Side, or the grand museums of the Upper East Side.
