New York City has stood as a symbol of the American Dream for generations, attracting immigrants from all over the world to its shores. With almost 20 million people in New York City’s metropolitan statistical area, it is the most populous city in the United States as well as the most densely populated major city in the nation. A major hub for many industries, NYC is one of the wealthiest cities in the world as well due to countless financial, cultural, educational, political, and technological institutions within the area. However, New York City is perhaps best known for its entertainment districts and attractions, including Times Square, the Broadway Theatre District, the Rockefeller Center, The Met, The Natural History Museum, and beyond.
