New York City: Home of Bagels, Cheesecake And NY Style Pizza

The massive metropolis on the eastern shore of the United States known as New York City has gained a reputation as a fun and rewarding destination for cruise holidays and other holiday plans. It is the melting pot of the United States, the Big Apple, the home of the mighty New York Yankees, and the land of Wall Street and the United Nations. It is also well known as the home of bagels, cheesecake and New York style pizza.

There are many things that native New Yorkers take pride in and eating is definitely one of them. With a selection of restaurants that serve food from Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, Australia, and remote islands in the South Pacific, New Yorkers can brag that they have everything when it comes to variety of cuisine. Many of the immigrants who came to this city in the twentieth century have moved on so a good portion of the population is within a generation or two of their homeland.

The bagels are homemade and fill the morning air with the refreshing scent of fresh-baked bread. At lunch time, the slice of pizza you get from any local pizzeria is far too big to eat without folding it in half, something easily done with the famous New York City thin crust. Sit down in the restaurant or devour it while you travel down the block to the coffee shop to have a slice of absolutely divine cheesecake the likes of which you will never taste anywhere else.

Communication in New York can be a little difficult. It's almost as if you're expected to be rude. If you're not, you'll most likely be ignored. Don't be alarmed though if you do ask questions and feel like you're getting yelled at. It's the way that the natives communicate, the result of living with noise all the time and needing to be heard over all else. You might actually get lucky and meet someone who wants to be helpful.

People still come to New York for the first time every single day. There are also many who leave New York to move their lives to less urban areas where more green space can be found. Some go a few miles out and then commute back to the city for work, sight-seeing at Wall Street, the Seaport, or the United Nations, and of course a game or two at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx or Shea over in Brooklyn. To give you a little insight into life in New York, as a resident you can be a fan of either the Yankees or the Mets, but not both. That is simply not allowed.
