New York City Today

"New York City Today": New York is a superlative place. Ask a resident about life in the city and you'll hear words like "hardest," "priciest," and "best" again and again. The search for the biggest and best encapsulates life in the city today, and makes New York one of the most enjoyable, frustrating, exhilarating, and exhausting cities in the world. So that's life in this superlative town. There's no question that all this opportunity comes at a price, whether it's a million-dollar apartment, a $40 entrée, or working late, late hours to finance the first two, but it's usually worth the effort, just to get a taste of this over-the-top place New Yorkers call home. Welcome.
