We're all about the big city lights in NYC. Let's find out a bit more about the fascinating American city.
New York is the city that never sleeps, but when we all fall asleep it still remains in our dreams. Known as the city of dreams and possibilities, it’s hard to now be in awe of what’s around it.

We’re going to share some fun facts and photos to show you why NYC is a firm favourite for all of us.

2. Using your car hooter is actually illegal in New York City. Yes, hard to believe when it’s heard all of the time. It’s only acceptable during emergencies, and it seems there’s an emergency every minute when you’re on the streets of NYC.
