New York, New York, United States of America

It would be hard to miss the biggest apple in the world, New York, as it is famous for its uniqueness and urbanity, which easily gets us addicted. V New York not a minute will pass without discovering something new and unforgettable. The New York subway takes us even back in time. The magnificent station under the town hall has not been active for almost 65 years, after it was closed on December 31, 1945.
