Getting to Know New York

It is perhaps fitting that, in a city that is always in motion, its newest park, the High Line, has been planted on an abandoned elevated railroad track. Day and night, weekday and weekend, New York City pulses with energy. There's its ever-changing arts scene offering everything from alternative music to Broadway theatre to masterpieces at the Metropolitan Museum of Art or the Frick Collection. Its kaleidoscope of dining options range from gourmet street-corner carts to elegant Michelin-starred restaurants like Jean Georges or Blue Hill. Move through its many neighbourhood farmers’ markets to sample things like honey made from high-rise hives. Of course, the best way to see New York in action is on foot. Whether your journey is a leisurely stroll through Midtown's elegant shopping on Madison or Fifth avenues or a jog around the reservoir in Central Park, you'll be experiencing New York as a New Yorker.
