New York earns every cliche. The skyline from Brooklyn Bridge at dusk, the controlled chaos of Midtown, the quiet of Central Park on a Sunday morning. All of it is as good as advertised. But the city rewards getting off the tourist trail: the food scene in Queens, the galleries of Chelsea, the neighbourhoods of Brooklyn that feel nothing like Manhattan.
The five boroughs each have their own character. Manhattan is the most visited and the most expensive. Many travellers find they prefer staying in Brooklyn and taking the subway in.
