What Makes NYC Great?

What makes New York City such an amazing place to live and vacation?

There are so many reasons to love NYC. Some are obvious, others are secret gems, or are often taken for granted. Here are six to be grateful for and embrace today…

We All Have Diversity in Common
We’re all unique, and while we call ourselves ‘New Yorkers’, our families all came here from somewhere else at some point. It is someone we all share in common. And it means you are completely 110% free to be yourself and rock your own style, no matter what that is. At the same time New Yorkers and our varied neighborhoods own an incredible community spirit. Yes, we’re busy, and we’re always rushing somewhere, but you’ll still find people who care deeply about the environment and creating more sustainability, neighbors helping neighbors, or someone bringing family entertainment to the block for the local kids.

If You Can Make it Here, You Can Make it Anywhere!
If you want to change the world, launch an exciting business, get rich or have fun trying, or just prove to yourself what you’re made of – there’s nowhere better to do it than the Big Apple. Period.

Home to the World’s Most Innovative Nonprofits
NYC is quickly becoming a hub of high impact nonprofits that are solving massive problems around the planet. Charity: water blended technology and a 100% model that ensures every penny given goes to solving the world’s water crisis. Acumen is elevating lives around the globe by training social entrepreneurs and funding sustainable projects that create jobs. These are just two of those everyone should be supporting today, and which have headquarters in NYC.

Peak Performance & Lifestyle
Whatever you love doing, and whatever you need to keep you performing at the top of your game – you’ll find it here. We’ve got shopping, 24 hour gyms, luxurious spas, boating, beaches, and New York State boasts more ski areas than any other state in the US! It’s the center of the universe. No matter what mood you are in, no matter what day or time it is, if you want to experience it, you’ll find it here. Want to eat Chinese food and then learn Salsa dancing on a Monday night – you’ve got it. Want to go to a morning dance party and do yoga on your way to the office? DayBreaker has you covered.

Amazing Food
Whatever your tastes or budget you’ll find something delicious in NY. Choose from $1 pizza, or $1,000 pizza with caviar and lobster toppings. Immerse yourself in culture and plan a trip to Anthony Bourdain’s new international food market. And enjoy exclusive one of a kind shops that don’t even offer online ordering like Seth Godin’s wife’s By the Way Bakery.
Magnificent Homes and Soaring Condos in the Sky
After a busy day or night hustling to change the world, dancing to a new beat, or introducing your taste buds to a brand new sensation, you’ll be able to retreat, relax and unwind in some of the world’s most envied residences. Choose a NYC condo or coop with luxurious concierge services looking over Central Park, or a historic home with designer finishes on a leafy urban street.
