Empire State of Mind
Why is New York the Empire State? Whatever it is you're looking for, from dining and shopping to culture and nightlife, the options here reign supreme. Top chefs around the country trace a root network leading back to New York restaurants. There's theater … and then there's Broadway. Central Park offers miles of eclectic activities (and people-watching), the Metropolitan Museum of Art showcases the world's finest artists, the shopping options on Madison and Fifth Avenues boggle the mind, and the nightlife is legendary. Even the mellower venues, the wine bars, jazz clubs and cafes, offer wholly distinct personalities. One visit simply isn't enough.
