New York represents opportunity

Ellis Island was the historical gateway through which many immigrants arrived in the country during the 19th and 20th centuries. New York remains a popular immigrant destination.

Ambitious Americans traditionally go to New York to make a name for themselves in industries such as writing, theatre, commerce, fashion, mass media, investment banking, and more.

The city is a popular tourist spot and home to the Statue of Liberty, the towering Empire State Building, the famous Broadway theatre district, and Times Square.
