New York is a true attraction on its own. It is difficult to describe and understand. You can say anything you like about it and always be right. If you listen to different people talking about it they can each describe a different town. For some, it is a centre for art, music and theatre, for others, a city of finance and politics. New York is America's most populous city, and one of the world's leading commercial, financial, and cultural centres. New York is subdivided into five boroughs; in descending order of area, the boroughs are Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx, and Manhattan. Almost all of the Bronx is situated on the mainland, but the other boroughs are situated on, or comprise, islands. In all, New York comprises some 50 islands. In postal addresses, New York City is synonymous with Manhattan.

New York has been the first glimpse of American city life for the 12 million foreigners who arrived in New York harbor during the wave of European immigration between 1892 and 1924. The first destination of many tourists to the USA today is this "gateway to America". The population of the city remains more racially and ethnically diverse than many areas of the United States. In 1990, the population of New York was 52 per cent white, 29 per cent black, 7 per cent Asian and Pacific Islander, and 12 per cent other races. Those of Hispanic origin comprised 24 per cent of the total population. The latest influx is from post-Communist Russia. Land area, 800 sq km. Population 7,311,966.

New York is a financial, commercial, manufacturing, and tourist centre. A national focus of road, rail, water, and air transport, it also contains the headquarters of many major corporations. The financial district of Lower Manhattan, centred on Wall and Broad streets, includes the New York Stock Exchange (1817) and a United States Federal Reserve bank as well as other prominent banking, brokerage, and financial institutions. Much domestic and international trade is conducted in New York's offices. Two international airports: Guardia and John F. Kennedy, both in Queens, major air-cargo terminals, and large amounts of freight pass through the city's port facilities.

Wholesale and retail trade are important to New York's economy. The city is particularly noted for its many retail outlets, including large department stores and specialized shops. Fifth and Madison avenues, in Manhattan, are especially famous for their elegant shops.

As a manufacturing centre, New York is a national leader in the production of clothing (notably in the Garment District of Midtown Manhattan on the West Side), printed materials, and processed foods. Other principal products include wood, paper, and metal goods, machinery, chemicals, and textiles.

New York, and particularly Manhattan, boasts many distinguished architectural sites. Skyscrapers dominate the skyline; the Flatiron Building, completed in 1902, was one of the first in the city. Others include the Chrysler Building (1930), the Woolworth Building (1915), the Empire State Building (1931), the group of buildings that constitute Rockefeller Center (1931). Older structures include Gracie Mansion (late 18th century), now the mayor's residence, and City Hall (1802-1811). Among the city's well-known churches are St Patrick's Cathedral (1879), the Cathedral Church of St John the Divine (1892) New York's most famous landmark is the Statue of Liberty (1886) on Liberty Island; Ellis Island, from 1892 to 1954 was the point of entry of immigrants to the United States; Grand Central Terminal (1913) is the main railway station; and the vast United Nations complex is along the East River in Midtown Manhattan. Professional baseball teams play at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx (New York Yankees), and Shea Stadium in Queens (New York Mets). Other major sports facilities in the city include Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, home of the New York Knickerbockers (Knicks) basketball and New York Rangers ice hockey teams. The New York Islanders ice hockey team plays in Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in nearby Uniondale.

Among the leading art museums are the vast Metropolitan Museum of Art; the Museum of Modern Art; the Frick Collection; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Other museums include the American Museum of Natural History; the Jewish Museum; El Museo del Barrio, devoted to the culture of Puerto Rico and Latin America; the Studio Museum in Harlem, exhibiting works by black artists; and the National Museum of the American Indian. The centre of the city's theatre district is Times Square, with more than 30 theatres. Near the south-western corner of Central Park is the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, a large cluster of buildings that includes the Metropolitan Opera House; Avery Fisher Hall, home of the Philharmonic-Symphony Society of New York, commonly known as the New York Philharmonic; the New York State Theater, where the New York City Ballet and New York City Opera perform.

In September 2003 New York suffered a large-scale interruption of electric power through a technical failure in the electrical power system, which brought wide media attention around the world. For more than 24 hours New York City citizens were without electricity.
