Why Go? Diversity, energy, and attitude—available 24 hours a day. The icons: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Met — crowded, sure, but for good reason. Let's face it: New York is still the restaurant, culture, shopping, and nightlife capital of the country. What to Skip: Times Square: Made safe for gawkers, hawkers, chain stores, lousy food—and annoyed locals. Get in, take a picture, and get out. See Concierge for full city guide.
