New York is one of the most vibrant cities in the United States of America. This is an ultra-dynamic, constantly moving city of skyscrapers that dazzles and captivates, plunging into the abyss of colorful multicolor and many-sided emotions.

In this city, people will easily talk to you on the streets, anticipating almost any conversation with the sacramental “Where are you from?”, And every square or intersection will seem familiar (after all, you have definitely seen them in some movie). You won’t be able to stay alone or at least be in a relatively sparsely populated place in this buzzing metropolis like a beehive.

We invite you to take a short tour of this amazing metropolis with the help of this panoramic video.

New York consists of 5 districts, each of which has its own rhythm of life, its own soul and its own unique character.

  1. Manhattan is the most famous area of ​​New York and the visiting card of all America. Skyscrapers, offices of international corporations, boutiques and expensive restaurants, as well as the most prestigious apartments are concentrated here. Manhattan, in turn, is divided into 3 "subdistricts": Downtown, Middletown and Uptown. Local attractions include Broadway, Wall Street with the buildings of the Federal Hall and the New York Stock Exchange, Chinatown, Brooklyn Bridge, the Iron and Empire State Building skyscrapers and Times Square.

    New Yorkers usually mean only Manhattan when they say "the city". Other areas of New York are called outer ("the outer boroughs").

  2. Brooklyn is one of the southern districts of New York, which can be reached on foot from Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge. Most of the city's population lives here, but there are almost no high-rise buildings here: the area has grown in width. Brooklyn is known as a home for artists and other creative New Yorkers, as well as for its concert venues and beaches. It is within the boundaries of Brooklyn that the amusement park of Coney Island and the "all-York" Brighton Beach (in combination, the largest Russian community outside the former USSR) are located.
  3. If the United States is commonly referred to as the melting pot of the world, then east of Manhattan, Queens is definitely the melting pot of New York. 170 languages ​​are spoken here, the streets are full of the most incredible signs, and the abundance of races and nationalities would make Old Man Noah jealous. Queens is home to two New York International Airports, as well as a cinema that plays only Bollywood movies. Once in Queens, it is worth going to the PS1 Center for Contemporary Art, visiting the Steinway piano factory with a tour, walking around the Socrates Sculpture Park and viewing the expositions of the Museum of African Art.
  4. Associated with black rappers in baseball caps and thick gold chains, the Bronx is Manhattan's neighbor to the north. Despite the presence of slums with the poorest population of New York, the Bronx is the greenest area of ​​the city, whose territory is covered by a quarter of parks and gardens. The pearls of the local excursion are the Bronx Zoo and the Yankee Baseball Stadium. It is also worth visiting the Botanical Gardens, which consists of 48 individual themed gardens, visiting the Edgar Allan Poe House Museum and the Shipbuilding Museum and paying tribute to Duke Ellington at Woodlawn Cemetery.
  5. Staten Island is the southernmost area of ​​New York that can be reached by ferry or bridge. It is very green here, relatively quiet and a huge number of immigrants from almost all over the world. On Staten Island, it is worth visiting Port Richmond – the beating heart of Latin American culture, walking along the picturesque Park Hill and stopping by the exhibition at the Snug Harbor Cultural Center.
