Every month thousands of tourists visit New York City. Their reasons for choosing New York are many: Some come to see historical places like the Statue of Liberty. Others are attracted by the night clubs and theaters. Many enjoy shopping in the world’s largest stores, and some come to New York just because it’s big.
    People from other parts .of the United States move to New York by the thousands each year. Some come to get better jobs. Others want to attend one of New York’s fine universities. Dancers, actors, and painters are attracted by the city’s rich cultural life. Still others are bored with small-town life and want the excitement of the big city.
    Careful planning is needed to make your stay in New York City a success. Be sure that you don’t arrive during the rush hour. Weekdays from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. and 4: 30 to 6:00 p.m. travel on the streets is slow and difficult. Choose a hotel that is near the center of the city. And be sure to bring plenty of money. It’s no fun to see hundreds of exciting things and not have the money to do them.
