Living in New York City
As a global arts and culture capital, a hub for international business and finance, and the home of some of the nation’s top universities and sports teams, New York City truly does have something for everyone.
The city's size and modern, cosmopolitan atmosphere make it an exciting city to live and work in, with tons of options for both having fun and making money.
On the downside, living here certainly isn’t cheap. In fact, it's one of the most expensive cities in the nation, with average rent prices soaring over the past decade. New York City commute times are also considerably higher than average, with most commuters relying on the public transit system – the busiest in the Western hemisphere.
New York City is an ethnically diverse “melting pot” with a long history of immigration, so it's no surprise that it's also the most linguistically diverse city in the world, with as many as 800 distinct languages spoken by residents throughout the five boroughs.
Things to do in New York City
There’s certainly no shortage of things to do in New York City!
Let's start with Central Park, one of the city's most popular and iconic attractions. These 843 acres of recreational space offer activities for all seasons, including various running trails, art and sculpture gardens, bird-watching areas, the Central Park Zoo, Tavern on the Green Restaurant, a summer concert series, and even an ice-skating rink in the winter months.
That's why it’s no surprise that Central Park is the most visited city park in the country. The New York City Marathon, one of the most popular races in the world, even passes through here.
If you want to take in the iconic New York City skyline, there are a few popular options, including the Top of the Rock Observation Deck and the Empire State Building. Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge is also a great way to see some of the best views of the cityscape.
For families with kids, the American Museum of Natural History is a must-see. With over 30 million artifacts and lots of hands-on exhibits, the Natural History Museum is a national treasure and a fun spot for school-aged kids.
A visit to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty is another NYC excursion you won't want to miss. A short ferry ride takes visitors from Battery Park to Liberty Island, where you can head up to Lady Liberty’s crown for the view, then check out the Ellis Island Museum.
Couples will love the High Line. Formerly a railroad track for freight trains, the High Line is now an elevated urban park that offers a unique, tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city.
New York City offers high quality restaurants for all palates, including more Michelin Star winners than any other American city. Among the highest ranked – and the most upscale – are Le Bernardin, a French seafood restaurant in Midtown, and Peter Luger Steakhouse in Williamsburg, ranked New York City’s best steakhouse for 32 years running. For top-notched options that won’t break the bank, try Graffiti, an Indian-inspired East Village spot, or L’Artusi, for Italian cuisine in the West Village.
The city is home to several world-renowned cultural venues, like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which boasts a collection of over 2 million works of art. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) and the Guggenheim Museum are two other impressive venues.
While you're here, you'll definitely want to catch a show on Broadway. Or maybe the world famous New York City Ballet.
When you're finished, do a little sightseeing in Times Square, a prime destination for tourism, shopping, and viewing the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. Nearby Radio City Music Hall is another highlight, especially during the winter holidays when the Rockettes perform their hallmark Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
Sports fans won't be disappointed either. Catch a Yankees game in the Bronx, a Mets game in Queens, or chill out at a Knicks game in the historic Madison Square Garden.
The Garden is also home to the New York Rangers, New York Liberty, and the St. John's University basketball team. Not to mention hosting all sorts of other events, like concerts and comedy shows.
Of course, the city is also represented by the New York Giants and Jets of the NFL, though you'll have to make a short trip over to New Jersey to catch their games.
Employment and Economy in New York City
As an important international hub for government, finance, education, business, and the arts, the economy here is diverse and powerful. Home to the New York Stock Exchange, the city's widely accepted as the globe’s leading financial center.

Nearly 60 million tourists visited New York in 2015, fueling a thriving tourism and real estate industry. And as the city's “Silicon Alley” expands, the NYC tech sphere is becoming a bigger and bigger part of the local economy.
New York City’s top 5 employers all come from the public sector, working to support and sustain the city’s enormous population: the City of New York, the NYC Department of Education, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the U.S. federal government, and the New York Health and Hospitals system. Meanwhile, JP Morgan Chase and Citigroup are the leading private employers here in the metro area.

Tips for Renting in New York City
Ready to experience the Big Apple? You'll love it! But in a rental market as varied and complex as New York City’s, it’s a good idea to be aware of your rights as a tenant.
Apartment vacancies tend to come and go very quickly here, so be sure to start your rental search with a plan in place. New York City offers a variety of affordable housing options to tenants from low- and moderate-income households, and prospective renters can register with the city housing department for assistance in finding qualifying property.
Unfortunately, apartments in the city can be prone to bed bug problems, but you're entitled to a written disclosure of any history of bed bugs in the building before you commit. Remember to be vigilant about checking the Bed Bug Registry when searching for an apartment here.
On the other hand, landlords aren't obligated to disclose previous issues with rodents in the building, so it’s a smart move to ask upfront – and to check the city government website for a log of rodent incidents in any building you're considering.
