New York (aka the Big Apple) is the most populous city in America. The diversity here is literally the interpretation of the melting pot. NYC is also home to one of the most famous skylines in the world, and possibly the best view is from the Empire State Building. The city has 5 boroughs and its gross product makes up 9 percent of the American economy. While there, make sure to eat the street food, check out the informative and comprehensive museums, and of course spend sparely in Times Square!
