"New York is the capital of the world." That is what Pope John Paul II called this city. Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko called it humanity compressed into a city. And indeed, there is perhaps not a single nation in the world that is not represented in New York. Over the last four centuries, New York City has attracted strong and energetic people with its unlimited opportunities for success and wealth. Through the efforts of millions, the city has been turned into a living museum. You can explore it for months, or you can see it in just a few hours.
