Experience: There is something magical about New York. No matter how many times you’ve been there, that special feeling never really fades. The light, the atmosphere, the constant hum of noise, the variety of architectures, the sunset, the city’s 24×7 life, the musical shows, the food, the parks, the buildings - it all combines into something unforgettable. Not to mention the Indian summer and the stunning tree foliage colours or the city under a white blanket of snow. Yes, it can be exhausting, but it’s also exhilarating and undeniably charming.
