It is a melting pot of various nationalities and is often called the United States in miniature. Everything that exists in the country, is represented in New York: fashion, religion, goods, the pace and rhythm of life... Thus New York is a truly American city.
Manhattan is the heart of New York. The island was once bought from the Indian tribe Mann-Hutt for just $ 24. Now it is densely built up with skyscrapers, and the sky can only be seen with the head thrown back. The famous Broadway, with its shops, banks and theatres, is located along the entire island. The Fifth Avenue is the most fashionable street in New York where one can find luxurious shops, famous restaurants, hotels, and many other attractions. Broadway is known for theaters and their world famous shows Cats, Les Miserables, Miss Saigon, Phantom of the Opera, and Titanic. Times Square and its neighborhood is known for a big number of Broadway theatres which are a true symbol of New York. Many performances are daily and all year round.

It is perhaps the most popular Manhattan skyscraper, with its two viewing platforms. The Statue of Liberty in New York is a symbol of American democracy. The French Government presented it to the United States to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the independence of the USA. The statue was assembled from parts made in Paris and trafficked by ship to New York. The height of the Statue of Liberty is 46 meters.
Downtown is the business part of New York, the personification of American financial power. Here is the famous Wall Street's biggest banks and the famous New York Stock Exchange.

It is a place of cheap shopping, though the products are not only Chinese. Greenwich Village and Soho constitute the well-known territory of art galleries, cafes, jazz clubs, and a great many of shops of jewelry, books, CDs, and souvenirs.
New York Subway always makes one of the strongest impressions. It can take you to the island, to all airports, plazas, centers of life and living quarters. Though it might be rather difficult to understand how it works.
