New York is best known in the United States as a global financial centre centred on Wall Street. Spread across five boroughs where the Hudson River meets New York Harbor, the city also borders the East River, which separates Manhattan from Brooklyn and Queens. The Statue of Liberty, dedicated in 1886 on Liberty Island, remains a defining emblem of the harbour, while Central Park provides Manhattan with a major public green space. Broadway’s theatre district and the Metropolitan Museum of Art reflect New York’s lasting cultural influence. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across New York City.
