New York City

There are very few cities that have the same amount of emotion attached to them as New York City does. What do you think of when you think about New York City? Excitement, entertainment, world class, shopping, food, business, stock exchange, Donald Trump, handbags, Sex and The City, shoes, dreams, possibility, difference, bohemian, chic, black, spring, Central Park, hot dogs, New York Pizza, Cosmopolitans, Manhattans, Martini’s…. The list really does go on.

New York, New York, the city that was so nice they had to name it twice, is the Capital city of New York State. Contrast to common opinion there are actually other cities in New York State like The Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island. New York City is however the most populated area of New York and the most densely populated area of the USA. Over eight million people live New York, which is incidentally only 322 square miles. 1.6 million of those people live in Manhattan. Manhattan is less than 25 square miles, which means for every square miles there are over 60 thousand people.

New York City is made up of five boroughs, The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island, each of these boroughs has their own distinct personality. The Bronx is the home of the Yankee’s as it houses the Yankee Stadium.
