You need no special motivation to be in New York. This city is a must for any traveler of these days, as for any man living on this planet. It is similar with the ancient Rome, a sort of capital of the world !

New York is no longer the biggest city of the world, has neither the world’s highest building, but it still atracts magnetically every people of this Earth. It is a megacity indeed, and it was the first one megacity of the planet. Maybe we could name it the alfamegacity!

It plays a major world in world’d  industry, economy, finance, culture, fashion, sports, tourism and travels.
