TOM’S BIRTHPLACE.
Although New York is not the capital of the United States, it is the biggest and most important city of the country. Situated at the mouth of the deep Hudson River, it has always been the gateway to the USA. But it is more than a door: it is also a window through which the life of the nation may be observed.
New York is many things to many people. It is the financial and media capital of the world. It is the headquarters of the United Nations. It is the centre of American cultural life. It is the national leader in fashion and entertainment.
The Big Apple, as New York City is nicknamed, is a city unlike any other. It has everything for everyone. It often the best, the biggest and the highest of everything. It is a place of excitement, beauty … and contradictions. There is, for example, no canal on Canal Street, Battery Park is not a power station, and Times Square is a triangle. As they say only in New York!
New York known as a “melting pot”, because people of different races and nationalities make up its population of more than seven million. About 13 of every 100 people in New York were been in another country. More than 80 languages are spoken throughout the neighborhoods and streets of the city. There are places where the English language is hardly ever heard.
When people say “New York City” they usually mean Manhattan. It is the real centre of the city. The Empire State Building Rockefeller Centre, the United Nations building, tremendous traffic, dazzling advertisements, Central Park, Times Square, Broadway, Harlem, the most famous avenues and streets – all these are to be found in Manhattan.
The map of Manhattan seems unusual to a European eye. It is crossed from north to south by avenues and from east to west by streets. Only one avenue, Broadway, runs east to west.
