But would you like to get a taste of the metropolitan air of New York at some point? Take a tour of the great Central Park or explore trendy districts like SoHo? Read here what New York has to offer and what you should do without with this huge offer.

New York – the city that never sleeps

No city has been celebrated as often as New York. More precisely, New York City in the US state of New York on the east coast of the United States.

High celebrity density in the American metropolis

The nightlife in New York also has a legendary reputation. The stars come and go in Manhattan’s clubs. At Club 1OAK NYC, in the Meatpacking Disctrict, stars like Katy Perry, Rihanna and Jay-Z regularly go to party. But you should prepare well for a night of partying in the city that never sleeps. The parties usually don’t start before 11:30 p.m. and there are long queues in front of every club. Don’t forget your passport either, because without an ID, as New Yorkers call it, you won’t get into a club. Even if you’ve thought of all of that, but the bouncer thinks you’re not puffed up enough, you will be sent back home. Therefore, before a night of partying, it is better to insert a day of shopping.

In a city with so much flair, it is only logical that some celebrities have built their nests there as well. Robert de Nirofor example, who turned the streets of New York as a taxi driver in 1979, lives near Central Park. Also Denzel Washington, Sting or Ethan Hawke have made themselves comfortable in their luxury apartments.

Many possibilities, many dangers

In addition to the “classics”, neighborhoods that used to be avoided are like Brooklyn or Harlem always hip. But as a tourist you should still be careful and not stay there at night. New York City has a population of around 8.5 million and the crime rate is correspondingly high. Also, find out about the laws in the United States. For example, alcohol consumption is only legal from the age of 21 and drinking in public is still frowned upon. In order not to get yourself into unnecessary trouble, you should behave accordingly. In general, don’t let the glamor of the metropolis blind you too much and move through this city with pleasure but also carefully.
