“In broad daylight or at night, when the lights illuminate their silhouettes, they offer an imposing image of the skyline of the Big Apple,” he describes.

New York is the most populous city in the United States of America and one of the most populous in the world. Since the end of the 19th century it has been one of the centers of the world economy.
New York includes 5 boroughs that are located where the Hudson River empties into the Atlantic Ocean.
The design of the bridges is striking.
At its center is Manhattan, a densely populated district that is among the world’s leading commercial, financial and cultural centers.
Its iconic sites include skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building, and expansive Central Park. The Broadway Theater is located in the neon-lit Times Square area.
