New York - Area Code 212

New York City (15th century-present day) is arguably the most important and largest metropolis in the country. Spanning five boroughs (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island) the City is home to the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade.

In addition to being the financial and cultural hub of New York, the city is also a cultural melting pot for people from all over the world. While New York is home to the American Dream, it also has a reputation for being one of the most insular cities in America. The New York Times reports that the city's largest concentration of immigrants can be found in Chinatown.

The history of the City of New York can be traced back to the Spanish invasion, which caused the Hudson River to be named after an old Spanish fort, the City. The city's name, Manhattan, derives from Latin, meaning "large," which describes the size of the city as a whole.

New York's skyscrapers are often called the Seven Sisters, and they are located in every section of the city. The highest skyscraper is the Empire State Building, a feat of engineering that has been called the tallest man-made structure in history. A trip around the city shows that the Empire State Building is not the only tall building in New York; however, it is the tallest building from the perspective of the city as a whole. Other notable tall buildings are the Chrysler Building in Manhattan and the United Nations in Brooklyn. One notable exception is the United Nations: the building is actually taller than the Sears Tower in Chicago, Illinois, but not by as much as the Sears Tower in Chicago.

As previously mentioned, New York is known for being one of the most insular cities in America. The city has one of the highest crime rates in the country and one of the highest incarceration rates in the country, as well, because of the large number of immigrants that make up the city's population.

New York is one of the largest tourist destinations in the country, with many visitors coming to the area for sightseeing tours and attractions like the Statue of Liberty. as well as the Empire State Building. There are also many great art museums in New York City, including the Museum of Modern Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which was founded by Francis Picasso, as well as other popular tourist attractions such as Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, Prospect Park, Rockefeller University, and Rockefeller Memorial.
