New York is a metropolis located in the northeast of the United States of America, and widely considered among the most important and influential cities in the world. So much so that it inspired John Lennon's famous quote about the city: "If I'd lived in Roman times, I'd have lived in Rome. Today, America is the Roman Empire, and New York is Rome itself. New York is the centre of the earth." The city has a world-famous skyline, plenty of tourist attractions and historical landmarks, on top of an incredibly vibrant artistic and musical scene. If you still need convincing to look into a flight to New York then remember that some of the world's most important museums are in this city: the Natural History Museum and the MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) are two of many. Other great landmarks of the city are the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. The city has three airports: Newark, La Guarda and JFK, and most flights from London land at JFK. However, these airports connect the city to, virtually, any city in the United States and the world.
