Living in New York City
People of New York City - The city
includes large populations of immigrants from over 180
countries who help make it one of the most cosmopolitan
places on earth. Many people from all over the United
States are also attracted to New York City for its culture,
energy, and cosmopolitanism, and by their own hope of
making it big in the "Big Apple." The city
serves as an enormous engine for the global economy,
and is home to more Fortune 500 companies than any other
place in the United States. The city is estimated to
have a Gross Metropolitan Product of nearly $500 billion.
If it were a nation, the city would have the 16th highest
gross domestic product in the world exceeding that of
Belgium ($388 billion).
A resident of New York City is referred to as a
New Yorker. Nicknames include "The Big Apple",
"The City that Never Sleeps", or just "The
City" (though to a New Yorker, this generally refers
to the borough of Manhattan).
New York City Neighbourhoods
Residents of the city often refer to the city itself
as "the Five Boroughs," reserving the phrase
"the City" for Manhattan, and referring to
the other boroughs as "the Outer Boroughs",
a term that some find pejorative or condescending. However,
as more Manhattanites migrate outwards, fleeing sky-high
rents, this usage is on the decline. Nonetheless, those
less familiar with the city often (incorrectly) think
Manhattan is synonymous with New York City. Through
the boroughs, there are hundreds of neighborhoods (or
nabes, in the local vernacular) in the city, many with
a definable history and character all their own.
Manhattan
(New York County, pop. 1,564,798) is the business center
of the city, and the most superlatively urban. It
is the most densely populated, and the home
of most of the city's skyscrapers.

The Bronx
(Bronx County, pop. 1,363,198) is known as the purported
birthplace of hip hop culture, as well as being the
home of the New York Yankees. Excluding its minor islands,
the Bronx is the only borough of the city that is on
the mainland of the United States.

Brooklyn
(Kings County, pop. 2,472,523) is the most populous
borough, with a strong native identity. It ranges from
a business district downtown to large residential tracts
in the central and south-eastern areas.

Queens
(Queens County, pop. 2,225,486) is the most diverse
county in the U.S., with more immigrants than anywhere
else. Geographically it is the largest of the boroughs,
and the legacy of its old constituent towns is still
evident. It is also the borough that houses Shea Stadium,
home of the New York Mets, two of the three major airports,
and Flushing Meadows Corona Park home to the 1939 and
1964 World Fairs.

Staten Island
(Richmond County, pop. 459,737) is somewhat isolated
and the most suburban in character of the five boroughs,
but has become gradually more integrated into city life
in recent decades, particularly since the opening of
the Verrazano Narrows Bridge in 1964, an event that
bred controversy and even a recent attempt at secession.
