New York City is home to people from every state in the country and every country on Earth, and we want you to think of this as your home, too. So while you take in an incomparable Broadway show and tour incredible sites like the Statue of Liberty and Central Park, remember to leave time to see our city the way New Yorkers do, too.

Spend an afternoon at the Brooklyn Museum and its collection of ancient Egyptian art. Take the 7 train out to Flushing, Queens and step into New York City’s largest Chinatown. Walk the boardwalk on Staten Island’s south shore and see some of the best beaches anywhere in the northeast. Sit down to an Italian dinner you’ll never forget on legendary Arthur Avenue in the Bronx. Whether this is your frst time here or just one of many visits, we want you to experience this city the way we do. And if you’re in need of more ideas for your trip, just ask a New Yorker. We never miss a chance to share a recommendation—or an opinion. Enjoy your stay. And on behalf of all New Yorkers: welcome!
