The greatest city in the United States is New York City. So if you like the noise, mess, weather, crowdedness and hustle or you can’t stand the people, taxis, congestion, subways, freezing winters and sweltering summers, you owe it to your own cultural knowledge base to visit. And if you live here, you can always invest more deeply in your city knowledge. When you come, retain some of your sanity by staying at one of these bastions of quiet comfort. Trust a New Yorker, after a day exploring the city — you’ll be thankful for the peace.
