Although first-time visitors may feel spellbound by Manhattan, the outer boroughs provide a quick escape if the city centre grind leaves you dizzy. Tucked into these neighbourhoods are parks, museums, interesting architecture, some great views of the city and undoubtedly the most genuine New York accents. Leaving Manhattan, the bridges over the Hudson and East Rivers provide unique perspectives on the city skyline.
North Manhattan and the Bronx From the northern tip of Manhattan the city hustle seems miles away. Across the Harlem River, the Bronx welcomes zoo lovers and baseball fans.
Brooklyn : Home to roughly 2.5 million New Yorkers, this borough encompasses both the boisterous, tacky charm of Coney Island and the cutting-edge culture of Williamsburg.
Queens : The international mix of people here makes for great food and a growing art scene
Staten Island :A large residential area that’s home to hard-working New Yorkers. It’s best seen by taking the Staten Island Ferry.
