Our Borough and Neighborhood Area descriptions below will familiarize you with the city's five boroughs and where things are in each. Armed with this information we hope you will plan to add a visit to a new area this holiday season.
Neighborhood Areas group some communities together that can be covered in a day. Especially in the outer boroughs where distances are longer, this is a great way to get to know a new area or borough while maintaining some sensible time parameters. We don't want you to bite off more than you can chew and then avoid coming back just as you've discovered a wonderful new area of the city.
