: : Surrounding Area

The LSI New York Center is situated on the Manhattan campus of the Metropolitan College of New York (MCNY). The center is ideally located in the trendy SoHo neighborhood, an area of New York City known for its trend-setting fashion, upscale boutiques and stylish restaurants and cafés. As the most populous city in the United States, New York City is home to nearly 8.2 million people and to an unsurpassed collection of world-class museums, art galleries, international corporations, performance centers and world-famous media outlets. Called "The City that Never Sleeps," New York City lives up to its reputation for its fast-paced urban environment and its residents take pride in living amid the crowds, noise and the general hardships of city life. Regarded as the model of the American ideal of a "melting pot," New York City is home to a greater diversity of immigrant groups than any other American city. Centrally-located in the core of the "Big Apple," the center provides students with easy access to the Metro - the city's convenient public transportation system - to explore Manhattan's eclectic neighborhoods, whether to experience Chinatown's bustling streets, soak in the energy of Times Square or stroll through majestic Central Park. If you are looking for something to do outside of the city, there are plenty of exciting places to explore in the surrounding boroughs. Historic Yankee Stadium and the Bronx Zoo are popular destinations while many visit the Japanese Botanical Garden and Coney Island in Brooklyn or Shea Stadium - home to the New York Mets - in Queens. Regarded as the capital city of the world, New York City offers an education onto itself and provides endless opportunities to tap into its energy, enjoy its diversity and experience a city unlike any other.
