SHADES OF THE APPLE

Neighbourhoods of New York City

Expats here have found a home away from home. From the narrow alleyways of Chinatown to the aromatic Curry Hill of Lexington Avenue, the Big Apple has room for everyone. It has opened its doors to immigrants from the world over, thus giving a glimpse into cultures of various countries through its themed neighbourhoods that are spread across its map. Such is its magnetism that I’m drawn to it stronger with each visit. My agenda has differed on every trip to New York City, ranging from an indulgent meal at a fine dining restaurant to retail debauchery on Fifth Avenue. This time, I decided to explore the city’s neighbourhoods.
