New York City, NY

What can’t you find in this mecca? Greenwich Village is where Nobel laureate Bob Dylan used to couch surf; Hotel Chelsea, slated to reopen in 2017, has had guests like Mark Twain, Dylan Thomas, Patti Smith, Iggy Pop, Leonard Cohen, and Jimi Hendrix to name by a few; Times Square is chock-full of street performers and charm; the city boasts 28,000 acres of parkland, including the most visited urban park in the world, Central Park; while Chinatown has the closest thing to authentic Chinese food outside of China. Part of the appeal for a nomad in New York is its walkability, as America’s biggest city also ranks as the most walkable metropolis.
