The only trouble with the happy task of diving into the touristic adventures of New York City is you will never get to the bottom of the 8 million stories awaiting in The Naked City aka the Big Apple. Even armed with the best of the Zagat’s, travel guides and a set of essays by Pico Iyer, Jan Morris and Tom Wolfe, and an encyclopedia of cinema mindset, New York is the infinite, bottomless ocean.

Virtually every nook and cranny of the city has a film or literary reference as well as a rich history of its own, so almost every famed landmark is accompanied by ghosts and a patina of the characters who have made history in its presence.

And so even its most famed attractions somehow escape the deathly grip of cliché. When you come into contact with the elegant lines of its buildings and monuments, given an aura by the way that light hits it, each of these magic places has an authentic presence that cannot be duplicated even by the masters of imitation in America’s other Capital of Dreams - Las Vegas.
