New York City covers the highlights - museums, neighbourhoods, parks, famous buildings - and those unexpected, distinctly New York institutions - like taxis, delis, even the coffee shop known to millions of Seinfeld fans. There's the Brooklyn Bridge, and the story of P.T. Barnum leading a parade of 21 elephants across its span to prove the structure was safe. The statue of Liberty, Chinatown, Times Square, the Bronx Zoo, the UN (not technically in New York, or even America, but an international zone owned by all UN member countries).
