Why New York?
New York, the city that never sleeps
New York City has long been a symbol of dreams, ambition, and endless opportunity. Founded in 1624 by Dutch settlers as a small trading post called New Amsterdam, the city quickly became a thriving port and a gateway to the New World. In 1664, the British took control and renamed it New York. Its famous nickname, “The City That Never Sleeps,” captures the restless energy that runs through its streets day and night.
Even today, you can feel the city’s history woven into its streets. Beyond the towering skyscrapers and bustling avenues, you’ll find quiet parks, cozy cafés tucked into side streets, and neighborhoods rich with cultural heritage. From the breathtaking views at the Top of the Rock to the serenity of Central Park and the sparkle of Times Square at night, New York City offers a unique blend of old charm and modern marvels.
