New York City; The Big Apple; The City that never sleeps; Gotham (BATMAN!); The Capital of the World; The Empire City; The City so nice they named it twice!
New York - the City with many names. It was first founded in the year of 1624 but wasn't properly established until 1625 by the Dutch who used it as a commercial trading post. In 1970 it New York was one of the largest Cities in the United States of America. Today New York is comprised of five boroughs - The Bronx; Brooklyn; Manhattan; Queens and Staten Island. In 2007 there was an estimated figure of around 8,274,527 people living within a 322 square miles (830 km²) radius of New York (and around the boroughs).
The site is now open. Whoo! _____________________

The Empire State Building The Empire State Building is the tallest building in New York. You can chose to either go right to the top or to only go as far as the 82nd floor. Be careful, it's a rather long way down, but has a beautiful view of downtown and uptown New York.

Statue of Liberty Lady Liberty was presented to the United States by France in 1886. It stands at Liberty Island and attracts many visitors. There are an awful lot of steps to climb up to reach the top, but it is worth it. Once you reach the top the view from it is amazing.

Starbucks What would NYC be without this amazing establishment? Starbucks has the best coffee around. It's a great place to catch up with friends, sit around and have a chat. Mmm... banana-nut muffin.

Canal Down by the riverside is the perfect place for a romantic stroll, with soft lighting along the banks. In the summer you can even catch a candlelit gondola ride with that special someone. There are darker parts to it of course, like any other place, but most people don't venture there.
