Among the tons of skyscrapers spread across the streets, the One World Trade Centre and the Empire State Building sure stand out. Manhattan, the world’s prominent commercial and financial hub sits at the core of the city and is connected to Brooklyn via the stunning Brooklyn Bridge. For the people looking for Apartment 20 or Central Perk, I hate to say that there isn’t any. But there’s a Central Park at the heart of the city.
