NEW YORK New York / Manhattan
Like a game of Chinese boxes, Manhattan, in turn, is a continent divided into districts (Neighbourhoods) which have always been small nations, small worlds where residents often have neither the desire nor the need to get out. Some of them receive particular ethnic groups (Little Italy, Harlem, Chinatown, the Lower East Side), others the higher social classes (such as the Upper East Side), and others, the population of artists (the East Village Youth bohemian SoHo artists and radical-chic). But
Neighbourhoods continually change their identity and even their borders, then they expand or shrink, deteriorate or are recomposed, as the building industry makes its voice heard with the increase in rent or with the opening of great sites aimed at changing the face of entire blocks. Still remain as landmarks, places only firmly established for some time: the 42nd Street at Fifth Avenue, Broadway, Times Square, Washington Square, Rockefeller Center, etc.. But above all, in New York City as in any large city in the world, count the atmosphere, the architectural perspectives, the views and life in the streets, the approach with the residents, the people in New York has a sharp tongue and knows how to entertain (or embarrass) with artistic sarcasm even the most seasoned European visitors.
