Things To See And Do In New York City
New York City, hailed as the city that never sleeps, fondly known as the Big Apple, is home to approximately eight million people and with the population still expected to rise in the years to come. New York City is touted as the center of the world maybe because each part of the globe has left an indelible mark in this place. From food to works of art to culture exhibits to tourist spots, whatever it is you want your senses to take pleasure in, New York City most probably has it.
Hotels: This is one of the common problems that travelers encounter when setting foot on foreign land. In New York City, however, you need not worry that you won't be provided with the kind of services you expect to receive. If you're the artsy type fond of bohemian living then you'll probably love to stay in New York City's Greenwich Village or downtown Soho. If you're a yuppy and you're attached to your PDA learning about the stock market, then you'll feel right at home in New York City's famous Wall Street. If posh places however are what takes your fancy then take a ride to downtown Manhattan and see for yourself what the Hilton or the Four Seasons Hotel has to offer.
Dining : Whether it is sashimi, pesto pasta, kimchi, shawarma or paella that you're looking for, trust me when I say that New York City has everything that your taste buds may want to savor.
Nightlife : The hottest places in the U.S. can no doubt be found in New York City. If you're fond of star-gazing and I'm not talking about those that you can find in the sky, then definitely, New York City is the place to be. Go club hopping and rub elbows with the rich and famous.
Tourist Spots : With so many points of interest to visit in New York City, it's sometimes quite difficult to just know where to start. But of course, we'll try our very best. A visit to New York City wouldn't be complete without touring the following sites:
Empire State Building: Need I explain?
The Statue of Liberty: take a ferry ride to this gigantic statue, a gift to the United States from the French government some centuries ago.
Madam Tussaud's Wax Museum: now, now, now, don't you start believing that what you saw in Paris Hilton's House of Wax is based on a true story. This particular site was even featured in Ripley's because of the uncanny resemblance of its inhabitants.
World Trade Center: Now, I know that technically speaking, this isn't a happy place but it would do all of us good to pay our respects to the victims of the September 11 bombing. This tragedy has at least proved that the people of New York City wouldn't let any terrorist attack faze them into cowering in terror. Hail, hail New York City!
Now, remember that New York City, for all its bright lights, can't be compared to a bed of roses. So take the necessary precautions to avoid unnecessary accidents. It's also easy to get lost in NYC so be sure that you always have a map - and a cellphone preferably - handy, just in case.
Happy sight-seeing!

Why does New York city and Orlando Florida have the same climatic classification?
From what I read, New York City and Orlando Florida are both humid subtropical climates. Those two places don't seem at all alike climate wise yet they both are the same climate classification. Why is that? What exactly is a humid subtropical climate in the first place?
View the wikipedia article on the Koppen climate classification system.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_climate_classification
Orlando is on the border of humid sub-t and true tropical climates. New York City is on the border of humid sub-t and humid continental climates.
