New York

New York is the biggest city in the USA. It has about 8 million people. It is one of the largest cities in the world (after Sao Paulo, Seoul, Mexico City, Tokyo). It is sometimes called "The Big Apple". It has five major boroughs: Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn.

History
The original inhabitants were Indian. This island was bought from the Indians by the Dutch for the bargain price of US $25. The original name was New Amsterdam. Later it was renamed New York. In the southern part of Manhattan Island there used to be a wall against Indians, now there is Wall Street - the center of financial life. 

Manhattan city plan
The city was built on a modern plan of streets and avenues which are numbered. Streets run east-west and avenues north-south. Broadway is the center of cultural life. The city is notorious for its crime. Many people believe New York is no longer a healthy place to live. Skyscrapers New York is famous for its Manhattan skyline - a large number of   skyscrapers in a small area. The first skyscrapers were built in 1903. The best known skyscrapers are Empire State Building and the World Trade Center (WTC) - the New York's highest skyscraper built in 1973 is 417m high.

Park, Islands

There are many attractive places where visitors like to go - the most widely known is the Brooklyn Bridge. There is the Statue of Liberty - it is a symbol of hope and freedom.

There are 4 airports, 15 TV stations, 39 radio stations, over 100 hospitals, 29 universities, many cultural institutions, galleries. New York has the largest subway system in the world.
