This is so apparent in my home-  New York City.  I live and work in a city that offers the greatest cultural diversity in the world.  All the different languages, religious, ethnic cultures blended with the mix of young and "not-so-young," make this the cultural capital of the world.

While it is so easy to "stick with your own," New York City has proven that we can "all stick together!"  From art, music, theater, culture, dining etc. there is no place like New York.  Each neighborhood has its own great flavor.

I have tried to put what I believe are the best multicultural sites on the web in this age.  If you know of a site you think I should add, let me know!
