The only place where everyone can be in one place and yet mind their own business, whether it being on their blackberry or being deep in thought, with the occasional run-in all try to avoid. You barely even notice other people. You can be wearing the silliest Lady Gaga outfit and nobody will even give you a second look. It's the only place that isn't a community; so many people within the thirteen miles and yet you don't know anyone except your close circle of friends. The hottest eligible bachelors are found here. You don't need to be a New Yorker to fit in, because standing out is exactly what it means to fit in there. It is globally known for its diversity and rich culture and for its success in the film and business industry. You can come to New York to pursue whatever dreams you have. And also, New York City is home to many. Just don't wear any "I <3 NY" souvenirs and you'll fit right in -- they scream out tourist and have "tourist" written all over it. And don't stand in the corner of the sidewalk looking at a map.

Man: Tourist?
Woman: Yeah, how'd you know?
Man: Well, for starters, native New Yorkers don't ever wear those sweaters. And most natives know how to get around without looking at a map.
Woman: Oh well, thank you. How do you get from Madison to Fifth Avenue?
