Summary

"New York is not the capital of the United States, but some might says it's the capital of the world. Home to the United Nations, Wall Street, and nearly 9 million people, the city is the destination for millions more workers, tourists, and immigrants. Inside, visit this most diverse of the world's cities, see how its people drive the economic engine of the nation, and how it constantly changes, even while retaining its own unique character."--page [4] of cover
