New Yorkers are proud of our reputation as a place that opens its arms to people from around the world. Last year, we hosted a record 50 million visitors who came to experience the excitement and energy of New York. And we hope you, too, take the opportunity to enjoy all that our diverse and dynamic neighborhoods have to offer. While there is nothing like the thrill of a Broadway show or the inspiration that comes with visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, to experience the city like a real New Yorker, be sure to explore some of the attractions that are a little more off the beaten path. From Flushing’s Chinatown and Coney Island’s Boardwalk to the beautiful botanic gardens in the Bronx and Brooklyn; and from the Staten Island Zoo to the Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria, Queens – and all points in between – you’ll never run out of new and exciting things to do. On behalf of all New Yorkers, best wishes for a memorable stay in our city. We look forward to welcoming you back soon! Sincerely, T HE C I T Y O F N E W Y ORK O FFICE OF THE M AYOR Michael R.
