New York City is the city that proves the rest of the world's cities are trying hard enough. The most densely concentrated collection of culture, food, energy and ambition in the world, New York rewards visitors who arrive with curiosity and leave their preconceptions at JFK. Things to do in New York begin with scale: the city's five boroughs cover 300 square miles, and the difference between Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island is more significant than most visitors expect. Central Park is a genuine revelation — 843 acres of designed landscape in the middle of the world's most vertical city. The High Line converted an elevated railway into one of the world's best urban parks. The Metropolitan Museum is one of the world's greatest, with over two million objects on permanent display. Broadway is still the apex of musical theatre. And the food — from the original dollar slice to Michelin-starred tasting menus — makes New York arguably the world's greatest eating city.

Five days covers Manhattan's highlights comfortably. A week lets you explore Brooklyn, Queens and the outer boroughs. Two weeks lets you begin to understand the city's depth. Most visitors feel they need more time than they have.
Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer the best weather — mild temperatures, less humidity than summer, and the city at its most beautiful. Christmas is magical but very busy. Summer is hot and humid but the energy is extraordinary.
