New York: Free Roaming in The City of Freedom

#domestictravel We trusted New York and have never regretted it. The city showed itself without the compulsive "look to the right, turn to the left" and that was the most pleasant thing. Our walks were like a conversation with an intelligent and observant interlocutor, polite, well-mannered, but devoid of any snobbery and prudery. New York did not hide anything, did not brag about anything, and did not try to be better than it really is. He allowed me to see his real self — and won my love with this sincerit New York has been different. Sunny and gloomy, warm and dank, joyful and sad... But he always remained himself and this made him attractive in any circumstances. Geographically, Manhattan is divided into three parts — Downtown, Midtown and Upper Manhattan. Administratively, the Manhattan urban area is divided into 12 districts. The iconic streets of Manhattan are the famous Broadway, which is home to banks, shops and theaters, as well as the financial heart of America – Wall Street, which runs across the southern part of the island. Midtown, the central part of Manhattan, is located approximately between 34th and 59th Streets. Midtown, in turn, consists of many famous neighborhoods built up with the highest skyscrapers. Downtown, the conditional northern boundary of which is considered to be 23rd Street, is located in the south of the island. This part of Manhattan was one of the first colonists to settle, so the geometrically correct street layout inherent in all other parts of the area is missing in Downtown. Downtown streets also have their own names, not numbers. Chinatown is considered to be another popular Manhattan neighborhood. This "China in miniature" occupied residential areas around Mott Street in south Manhattan. Chinatown is famous for traditional Chinese restaurants and theaters, exotic delicacies in the windows of grocery stores, and fun carnival performances on Chinese New Year's Eve. Little Italy, where immigrants from Italy live, is very popular among the guests of New York. The area is interesting for the colorful festivals of St. Januarius and St. Anthony that take place annually, as well as restaurants and shops selling hams, olive oil, Parmesan cheese and Italian sausages. Connoisseurs of Italian cuisine from all over the city like to come here for shopping. Bronx. This New York County is the only one that is located exclusively on the mainland. The Bronx district is considered a bedroom, besides, there are both neighborhoods inhabited by wealthy citizens and neighborhoods that look like outright slums on its territory. Ethnically, the population of the Bronx is very wide and includes immigrants from Italy, Ireland, Jews, African Americans and Latinos. Today, the number of Bronx residents is about 1,250,000. Brooklyn This municipal district of New York is located on the island of Long Island. More than two million of its inhabitants — Russians, Italians, Arabs, Jews, Indians and representatives of other peoples – settled in fifty blocks of the Brooklyn administrative district.
