拜访纽约
过去人们总是用这些字眼来描述纽约,当时她是美
国最大,最富有和最繁华的城市,今天纽约仍然是美国最大和最有名的城市,
但是过去30年来,由于犯
罪猖獗的报道在世界各地成为头条新闻,使得她的一些“好”名声直线下降。这些报道究竟真相如何?纽
约仍是观光的“好”地方吗?如果是的话,观光客在纽约能做什么呢?咱们这就来仔细地探访一下这个美国首屈一
指的城市吧。
首先,个人和社会安全向来是游客心中最关切的事,那么纽约到底有多“危险”呢?尽管
有那么多触目惊心的头条新闻,位于美国东
北部的纽约仍是美国最安全的城市之一。事实上,纽约州(包
括纽约市枣于是有“纽约州的纽约市,这城市好得人们称呼它两次”)
在暴力犯罪(这是观光客最关心的
)和财物犯罪上的排名比其它人口众多的州枣如加州,还来得低。其他主要城市的犯罪率也比它
高。因此
,比起大部分其它的美国都会区,来纽约的外国游客在此地能够觉得比较安全。
除了安全之外,到纽约
的外国人为何比到美国任何其它城市多呢?答案在于纽约本身的特色。世界上没有任何一个比它更国际化。
走一趟它数以百计的住宅区就象走过全世界一样。诸如“中国城”和“小意大利”等地名在纽约市的任何地图上
都找得到,但较小的种
族社区也有很多。此外,所有这些族群团体每年或每季都要会赞助举行庆典活动,
因此几乎每个礼拜都会有一个或多个民族和其它
纽约人共同分享他们的文化经验(和食物)。
由于这种无与伦比的种族多样性,经常上餐厅的人到了纽约会觉得仿佛死后上了天堂一般。地球上几乎没有一道菜
在这里找不到。
更棒的是,许多这些异国风味的餐厅消费价格都很公道。在纽约到处都是餐厅,而光是中
国餐厅就有几千家之多。
除了国际闻名的观光胜地枣大部分在曼哈顿区枣例如自由女神像、由两座11
0层大楼组成的世贸中心、华尔街、联合国总部和百
老汇等,还有其他许多有趣的地方等着好奇的游客去
参观。位于东北部布朗克斯区的布朗克斯动物园是世界上最棒的动物园之一。
皇后区则有各个不同种族的
住宅区。布鲁克林区则包含植物园、科尼岛(一座有游乐场的海滩)和约翰·肯尼迪国际机场。最后还
有
听坦登岛,这最小的行政区仍保有纽约市往昔的风貌,包括一座农场在内!

不论你的兴趣为何,只要是在都市环境中可以找到的,在
纽约就一定找得到。它的800万市民来处全球各个角落,因为爱上这个
要拼才会赢的城市而相聚在一起
。正如那儿的当地人所说:“当然,居住在纽约你必须有点疯狂,但除非发疯了,否则你不会搬到
其他任
何地方去住!?
这世界因为你的存在而更精彩!Yourexist
