New York City isn't USA capital,
but without any doubt it's one of the world capitals. It's
one the world business, fashion, cinema, theatre centers.
This term was invented in the 1920s by a sportswriter John
Fitzgerald. He named his column about NYC's racetracks "Around
the Big Apple".
New York is divided into 5 big parts, called boroughs - the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens,
and Staten Island. Each of them can be considered
as a separate city with its own life style, traditions and
atmosphere.  102-story Empire State Building is a very popular
stop for visitors to the City. It's no longer the world's
tallest skyscraper, but one the most beautiful structures. |
