NEW YORK CITY: THE CITY OF LIBERTY

New York is a never-ending bazaar of designer shops and department stores. To history buffs, it's a museum of America's past and human progress, and to foodies, it's an all-you-can-eat buffet. In truth, NYC is all of these things and more. New York is the most populous city in the United States, and the center of the New York metropolitan area, which is one of the most populous metropolitan areas in the world. A leading global city, New York exerts a powerful influence over global commerce, finance, media, culture, art, fashion, research, education, and entertainment. As host of the United Nations Headquarters, it is also an important center for international affairs. The city is often referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the state of New York, of which it is a part.
