It’s interesting to know that Manhattan Island – the central part of New York was bought from the local Indiana for 24 dollars by the Dutch. In the 18th century New York grew into the largest city of the USA. Now New York is a great seaport, the leading textile and the financial centre of the country. Manhattan Island with the Wall Street district is the heart of America’s business and culture. New York is the city of sky – scrapers. The highest of them is the 102 – storey Empire State Building. There are many other places of interest in New York: Central park, Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, the shopping districts and the United Nations Building.
