"NYC also ranked number two among the country's best food cities and number three for partying, an unofficial trifecta that pretty much sums up how most people experience a weekend here. One minute you're eating a slice of pizza or a Michelin-starred tasting menu, and the next you're at a Broadway show, a gallery opening or a cocktail bar hidden behind an unmarked door."
"Part of New York's enduring pull is that it never stays the same for long. Neighborhoods evolve, restaurants come and go and entire cultural scenes seem to appear overnight. Even repeat visitors rarely feel like they're seeing the same city twice. From Central Park and the Met to Brooklyn's indie shops and rooftop bars with skyline views, there's always something new layered on top of the classics."
New York City earned the top spot as the best U.S. city to visit for 2026, surpassing other major American urban destinations. Rankings use traveler votes and expert analysis to score food, culture, nightlife, romance and overall vibe. Rome is named the world's best place to visit and the Grand Canyon claimed the top overall U.S. destination, while national parks dominated several categories. NYC also placed second among U.S. food cities and third for partying, reflecting a blend of culinary excellence and nightlife. Constant neighborhood change, evolving restaurants, cultural scenes and iconic attractions like Central Park and the Met sustain repeated discovery.
