“The City that never Sleeps”, aka New York is truly a city of dreams. Statue of Liberty, Central Park, Broadway, Museum of Art, and of course the Empire State Building are some of the wonders of the “city so nice, they named it twice”, referring to both the city and state named ‘New York.’

Who doesn’t want to visit New York once?  We did some research on the city for you guys and listed 14 amazing facts about NYC!
