New York City

Where is NEW YORK ?

New York is de grootste stad van de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. Dankzij de leidinggevende en invloedrijke rol in handel, financiën, 

media, public relations, kunst, 

mode en educatie geldt zij als een van de belangrijkste wereldsteden. De stad wordt ook New York City of NYC 

genoemd om haar te onderscheiden van de staat New York, waar zij ligt. New York is niet de hoofdstad van die staat, dat is Albany.

NYC heeft 9,5 miljoen inwoners verspreid over een gebied van 789,43 km². De stad New York bestaat uit vijf boroughs of stadsdelen: The Bronx, Brooklyn, 

Manhattan, Queens en Staten Island. Veel monumenten en wijken van de stad zijn wereldberoemd en staan vaak symbool voor de Verenigde Staten in het algemeen. Zo zijn er het Vrijheidsbeeld, 

Wall Street, wolkenkrabbers zoals het Empire State Building en het Chrysler Building, het oude, in 2001 door terroristen vernietigde, World Trade Center met de Twin Towers en de opvolger hiervan, het in 2014 geopende One World Trade Center.
