The City That Never Sleeps (But You Should)
New York City is like a never-ending party, but trust me, even the coolest party animals need their sleep. This place is home to more people than you can shake a stick at, and they come from all corners of the planet. That means you can hear almost any language you can imagine! It's like having a United Nations playground, but with taller buildings.

The Statue of Liberty: She's Got a Really Big Hand
Ever seen a green lady holding a torch? That's Lady Liberty, and she's basically the welcome committee for New York. Her finger is as long as you are tall! Can you imagine how big her whole hand is? She's a symbol of freedom, which means you're free to eat as much pizza as you want (but don't forget to share).
