NEW YORK IS BACK


After 11th September of 2001, New York started to loose tourists, but two months later The Big Apple was already on its way to rise. In fact it started a sort of general movement among NYC's attractions and shops to attract tourists. For example a lot of attractions decided to stay open during all Christmas holidays and a lot of shops offered reductions even on the days right before Christmas. 
This economic rise was seen as a demonstration of strenght even in the hardest of time.
