In reference to the city, let's just say that you know you're from there if any of the following apply to you:

You say "the city" and expect everyone to know that this means Manhattan. You have never been to the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. You can get into a four-hour argument about how to get from Columbus Circle to Battery Park at 3:30 on the Friday before a long weekend, but can&\#65533;t find Wisconsin on a map. Hookers and the homeless are invisible. The subway makes sense. You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multi-lingual. You've considered stabbing someone just for saying "The Big Apple". The most frequently used part of your car is the horn. You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard. You consider Westchester "upstate". You think Central Park is "nature." You see nothing odd about the speed of an auctioneer's speaking. You're paying $1,200 for a studio the size of a walk-in closet and you think it's a "steal." You've been to New Jersey twice and got hopelessly lost both times. You pay more each month to park your car than most people in the U.S. pay in rent. You haven't seen more than twelve stars in the night sky since you went away to camp as a kid. You go to dinner at 9 and head out to the clubs when most Americans are heading to bed. Your closet is filled with black clothes. You haven't heard the sound of true absolute silence since the 80s, and when you did, it terrified you. You pay $5 without blinking for a beer that cost the bar 28 cents. You take fashion seriously. Being truly alone makes you nervous. You have 27 different menus next to your telephone. Going to Brooklyn is considered a "road trip." America west of the Hudson is still theoretical to you. You've gotten jaywalking down to an art form. You take a taxi to get to your health club to exercise. Your idea of personal space is no one actually standing on your toes. $50 worth of groceries fit in one paper bag. You have a minimum of five "worst cab ride ever" stories. You don't notice sirens anymore. You live in a building with a larger population than most American towns. Your doorman is Russian, your grocer is Korean your deli man is Israeli, your building super is Italian, your laundry guy is Chinese, your favorite bartender is Irish, your favorite diner owner is Greek, the watchseller on your corner is Senegalese, your last cabbie was Pakistani, your newsstand guy is Indian and your favorite falafel guy is Egyptian. You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you. You secretly envy cabbies for their driving skills. You think $7.00 to cross a bridge is a fair price. Your door has more than three locks. Your favorite movie has DeNiro in it. You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression. You run when you see a flashing "Do Not Walk" sign at the intersection. You're 35 years old and don't have a driver's license. You ride in a subway car with no air conditioning just because there are seats available. You're willing to take in strange people as roommates simply to help pay the rent. There is no North and South. It's uptown or downtown. When you're away from home, you miss "real" pizza and "real" bagels. You know the differences between all the different Ray's Pizzas. You're not in the least bit interested in going to Times Square on New Year's Eve. Your internal clock is permanently set to know when Alternate Side of the Street parking regulations are in effect. You know what a bodega is. You know how to fold the New York Times in half, vertically, so that you can read it on the subway or bus without knocking off other passenger's hats. Someone bumps into you, and you check for your wallet... You cringe at hearing people pronounce Houston St. like the city in Texas. Film crews on your block annoy you, not excite you.

Home of Broadway theatre, home of the best pizza(NY style) in the world, home of the best franks(Nathans and Papiaya)in the world, also the place where the term 'Hot Dog' was coined, birth place of the potato chip(Saratoga ,NY),the media capital of the world, business capital of the world, largest department store in the world(Macy's 34th st.),Birth place of Hip Hop culture, one of the fashion capital of the world, home of the largest and greatest subway system in the world along with the 1st in the country.

Basically the greatest state in the entire country...better yet, the world. New Yorkers are also the best people around. Sure, we can be arrogant and yes, from time to time we're prissy bitches. But NOTHING is finer than a New York girl...or the taste of REAL pizza and bagels. We're the only state that you can say "The City" and know you're referring to NYC. We have the best shopping, the best Christmas Tree, the best Parades...oh right and the best baseball team that ever existed and I'm NOT talking about the Mets. All in all, New York rapes your state by being better in EVERY way imaginable. I \<3 NY.

New York is so fetch.

I am from New York. I curse a lot. I say mad instead of wicked. I like the YANKEES. I know what REAL pizza tastes like, and I know that a bagel is much more than a roll with a hole in the middle. They're sprinkles...not jimmies. I play BEER PONG not beirut. I judge people by what exit they get off the highway. It's not called the shore, it's the BEACH. Its a wedge or a sub NOT a hoagie\! It's not New York City or Manhattan, it's 'THE' CITY. Two words...MOTHER FUCKER. I know that 55 mph really means 85. When someone cuts me off, they get the horn AND the finger."

1. The only state worth living in. 2. The Greatest city in the world, and one of the few real cities in the United States. Unlike other cities, where life is dead and everyone lives in the suburbs, New York continues to grow as a city. It's rivals (and haters) live in Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Jersey, and think that these cities, particularly LA, are dream cities, when most of them are declining while New York is growing. The city is proud of its diversity as it houses all people from around the world. The city consists of five boroughs (NOT boros): Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island (which identifies itself more with NJ than NY). Each borough has its own unique character and way of life. Manhattan is the bustling city center, and home to jazz music. It is inhabited by the very wealthy people, and it's rent (SoHo and TriBeCa) is the highest in the nation. Brooklyn is where steriotypical New Yorkers (the "fuhgaddaboudits") live, as well as most of the rap and hip-hop industry (the good stuff at least). Queens is home to many parks and industry, and is full of tourist attractions. The Bronx is where most of the inner city is, but the people from there take pride in that they live in the Bronx. Those areas which are not inner-city are often controlled by a mob, or are middle-class. It also includes beautiful Pelham Bay Park. Staten Island is basically home to suburbanites. New York is home to many of the world's best food. It's famous for its brand of pizza, as well as knishes. Brooklyn is famous for Egg Creams and Italian desserts. We also have a lot of "coffee shops" which are like diners or hamburger stands. We are home to some of the best TV shows, including Seinfeld, Sex and the City, Law and Order, NYPD Blue, Saturday Night Live, and others. We are also the home to many excellent sports teams, including the hated-across-the-rest-of-the-US-especially-Boston Yankees, the neglected, underrated Jets, the Great and Holy New York Knicks, the Rangers (which are hated in NJ more than anywhere else combined), the forgotten Mets, and supposedly the overrated Giants (which are really NJ's team, real New Yorkers are Jet fans). We are also home to such proud publications as the New York Times and the New Yorker. On September 11, 2001, our city was brutally attacked by deamons, but we all came together to help each other out because we love each other and our city, and we have continued to stay strong while the rest of the country looks down on us for being too liberal, the fact is we know how to do things better. We truly are the City that will Never Sleep.

The mother of the modern city, to which in one way or another every other city in the world is compared. Always something to do here (if not everything), but it's generally the best idea to visit in fall or spring, when the city's weather and appearance are at their greatest. Summer, particularly August, would be a no-go: not only is it hot and humid, but a lot of people have gone on vacation, so there's comparatively less to do. If you have to go in summer, try anywhere from late May to early July. I'd recommend, among a hundred thousand other things, kayaking on the Hudson River — don't worry, it's clean, not to mention it's free.

Jack: "I went to New York in August and it sucked." Jill: "No wonder, you fool; you went in August when it's hot and nasty and everyone's out of town. You might as well have gone to Calcutta. Come back in the fall and you'll enjoy yourself." Two months later... Jack: "I went back to New York and it kicked ass\! I'm glad I listened." Jill: "See? I told you." Jack: "Let's go back next year\!" Jill: "Okay."

New York has a long Dutch History. New York was actualy founded in 1624 by the Dutchman Willem Verhulst of the West India Company (WIC) and at that time it was Called New Amsterdam. New Amsterdam developed into the largest Dutch colonial settlement in the New Netherland province, now the New York Tri-State region, and remained a Dutch possession until August 1664 when, after several batlles, it fell into the hands of the British.

If this had never happend, New York was still called New Amsterdam and all the US Citizens would probably speak Dutch.

11th State of the Union the consists of three main parts: 1. New York City - The most well known part of New York is New York City, which, contrary the popular belief is not ONLY Manhatten but also Queens, Brooklyn, The Bronx, and Staten Island. NYC is one of the most diverse places in the world...If you stand in Times Square for a full day, you will see someone of every nationality. Home of such shows as Rent, Wicked, and The Producers, and just an amazing place to be. NYC doesn't deserve the bad rep it has as it's been cleaned up more then the rest of the world can imagine since the 80's. 2. Long Island - LI is an island directly south of NYC that contains Naussua and Suffolk counties. We're best known for our beaches, drunk teens, and bitchy girls (we're not all bad). Horrbile accents run freely(for you it's Long Island, for us it's Lawn Guyland). DO NOT be mistaken that a an LIer thinks they are a part of NYC. LI is mostly urbanized with some farm land. Alot of the population is rich (Great Neck, Manhasset) , but there are some poorer areas (Hempstead). 3. Upstate- Usually considered anything North of NYC. Upstate tends to be rather rural but can have a crazy party life on weekends. Many people believe that the upstate-ers are intermarried hicks, but this is not the case. Upstate New York is just the same as the rest of NY except a little bit colder and a little less polluted

1. "New York City...Center of the Universe." 2. Long Island- Home to the most potheads in the United States. 3. Upstate - Gorgeous\!

A STATE in the Northeastern US. Has much more going for it than NYC, which is still a great city. Also has very beautiful landsapes upstate and on long island. A state that about 99% of people judge by NYC, which takes up less than 1% of the state's land. Oh yeah, and yes, they do put NY on the mail, what kind of a stupid question is that?

There is WAY more to New York than just New York City.

Many see New York as the only city in the world. This is not true. But there is no doubt that it is a fantastic city. I grew up in a suburb north of New York City called Westchester, and taking the train to the city is the coolest feeling, seeing the ugliness of Harlem, or the beauty of 42nd street. It's really fantastic. And it's the home of Broadway. Broadway kicks ass.

No, you didn't\! ...because it's not fucking supposed to be there. Manhattan: good Manhatten: bad Brooklen? Statin? Kweens? Broncks?

The best state. Number 11 to the Union. I wish only Northeasterners and worthy (like those who want to move to New York because they enjoy it or want to) Western and Midwesterners could move to New York. We DON'T like Southerners who move here unless they want to\! Get out you sister-fuckers if you think it's all tall buildings\! It's not even 10% all tall buildings or even urban, sheesh\! It's mostly rural and suburban, learn aleady\! Like you say, "Shlow, dumbash wheel get dit\!"

I'm from New York, I enjoy the second amendment, let alone pretty much the whole constitution and all the amendments, I respect and enjoy separation of church and state unlike those bloody Southerners, I'm not a city boy like most New Yorkers, I enjoy some of the greatest food in America, the greatest hospitality and the nicest people. And if I want to, I can head down for a big city in NYC or I could go to Buffalo or Watertown or Poughkeepsie or whatever city I wish, and we have towns and even villages too\! And we have tiny hamlets, and rural towns, and suburbia, and urban areas\! It's all in New York\!

New York would seem so much better if people who live here, like me, wouldn't be so cocky as to say "we're the greatest city in the world\!" bullshnit\!\! And why are New Yorkers so scared that L.A. may be a better place to live? So many of the definitions (or whatever these musings are) mentioned something that sounded fearful of L.A.'s ascendancy...makes you wonder.

New York is the best state in the United States. It has the number one city in the world (New York City), which is known to be the most exciting city, and the city that never sleeps. There's always something to do in New York. In NY, you have Long Island, which is one of the more expensive places to live. On Long Island there is Brooklyn, Queens, Nassau County and Suffolk County. You are right near the beach, and there are extremely nice places such as the Hamptons where a lot of famous people live. New York City has a lot of people, including a lot of famous people that live there. Hip-hop began in NYC, and many stars today were born in New York. You also have upstate New York, which looks like a totally different place. In Upstate New York, you have beautiful lakes and mountains, where it snows a lot in the winter and is warm in the summer. There are scenic places such as the Adirondack Mountains in upstate New York. New York is known to be one of the most expensive states to live in, and it is known to have the best education system in the United States. New York is home of the Yankees, Mets, Islanders, Rangers, Giants, & Jets. People that aren't from New York will be able to tell that someone is when they talk because of their New York accent. It is very distinct, but only people from NYC and Long Island have this accent, people from Upstate New York do not. People who live in New York, are very proud to be from New York..and they will let you know that it is superior to all the other states in the US\!

New York is the best state in the U.S.

42. (New York) (75↑, 66↓)
A lovely place. Very north European in outlook whilst embracing all cultures. Not the most *American* of North American cities but by far the best. Because of its geography it has evolved in a very classical manner, downtown being centered in southern Manhatten but starting to spill into Brooklyn and upwards into Harlem and the Bronx, with the suburbs on a distinctly 'second tier' of development; this contrasts sharply with the 'multi-hubbed' nature of Los Angeles with its multiple high rise centres making LA much more of a governmental concept than a unified civic community.

Everyone cityphile should go there atleast once.

The second safest big city in the United States. Over 8M people with under 700 murders a year, and decreasing. The Capital of the World. The best sports teams, best pizza, best hot dogs. Strongest "Cosa Nostra" (mafia) families through out all the USA. The opposite of California, which is stuffed full of crime, murder, rape, surfers, and lazy-ass people who don't work a day in their lives. New York, the most famous city in the entire world, the best city in the world, the ONLY city in the world\!

New York is statistically the second safest big city in the USA. It is also home to the best of everything, from sports, to museams, to buildings, to food, and everything else. Also the best subway system in the world.

The only place where everyone can be in one place and yet mind their own business, whether it being on their blackberry or being deep in thought, with the occasional run-in all try to avoid. You barely even notice other people. You can be wearing the silliest Lady Gaga outfit and nobody will even give you a second look. It's the only place that isn't a community; so many people within the thirteen miles and yet you don't know anyone except your close circle of friends. The hottest eligible bachelors are found here. You don't need to be a New Yorker to fit in, because standing out is exactly what it means to fit in there. It is globally known for its diversity and rich culture and for its success in the film and business industry. You can come to New York to pursue whatever dreams you have. And also, New York City is home to many. Just don't wear any "I \<3 NY" souvenirs and you'll fit right in -- they scream out tourist and have "tourist" written all over it. And don't stand in the corner of the sidewalk looking at a map.

*Woman on the sidewalk looking at map, wearing an I \<3 NY sweater* Man: Tourist? Woman: Yeah, how'd you know? Man: Well, for starters, native New Yorkers don't ever wear those sweaters. And most natives know how to get around without looking at a map. Woman: Oh well, thank you. How do you get from Madison to Fifth Avenue?

Generally where a lot of people don't get along and the same races of people populate similar area's, though this is in part due to economics and the fleeing white demographic. Once you get out into the cities, you will be harrassed for taking part in a order that isn't native to the 'worldy' area and this will lead too a mass frenzy of followers and snobs, only to be broken up by random moments of stupidity to gain social status and acceptance. Although the older slaves are pretty friendly.

If you already don't know anything about NY (much like the idiots who have already posted on here), than wow\! New York is a State that contains NYC which draws most attention away from other parts of the state because of it national and world importance. New York State used to be a very nice place to live, however the taxes and ever-increasing cost of living makes New York one of the most undesirable places to live.

Not all of upstate NY is farmland\! There are cities in upstate NY that are comparable to other national cities, such as Cleveland, Houston, Atlanta, and Orlando. New York City gains most of their rough edge from their incorporation of four outer regions known as boroughs. People from the Bronx and Brooklyn are tough people and have little or nothing in common with those who are residents of Manhattan. Queens and Staten Island are suburban in character, but Queens is the most diverse place in the nation. Long Island contains Brooklyn and Queens, but is not considered part of LI by many people. The counties of Nassau and Suffolk constitute Long Island. LI suffers from high taxes and increasing government incroachment.

Most people recognize the state because it is home to Manhattan. Life in New York (anywhere underneath upstate at least) is truly the fast life. New York definitely takes the prize for having the best Italian food, the best bagels, the most diversity, and the best fashion. However, just like any other state, New York has it's downsides too. The taxes are quite high, the quality of living is going downhill, and people tend to be too caught up with material things. I was born and raised in Long Island, New York and have experienced things there that I would have never experienced anywhere else. Also, it is true that many Long Islanders have an accent, (we pronounce "dog" like "dawg") but we can't help it\! With that said, it is an awesome place to visit, but not to live (hence why I no longer live there). Many (not all) New Yorkers tend to drive aggressively. To all of the people that hate on New York, keep it to yourselves. To all of the people that gloat about how New Yorkers are better than everyone else, keep that to yourselves too. All in all, VISIT New York every once in a while, have the time of your life, and then go back home\!

Boy, I sure am proud to be from New York, but I would never want to live there\!

An amazing state with more than just the city. Upstate new york does not include longisland. It is a farming region of new york. Has beautiful scenery, waterfalls, streams, rivers, ect. New york is the home of the real bagels and real(new york style) pizza. It is also home of the new york coney island dog. Has a strong dutch, italian, greek ancestry. Uses the word wicked. Has high taxes is a expensive and ritzy area. And is beautiful. Yes there are quite a few rude and uncivilized people. Is not nearly as racist as southern states(TEXAS). Is very interested in fashion and keeping themselves looking nice.

I moved from new york to texas and was creeped out by their hospitality. I want to flip off everyone that cuts me off becaus im from new york. I hate southern states where they marry their sisters and cousins. I say wicked. Happy that when i moved back i was flipped off when i cut someone off.

In the wintertime the temperature falls well below the legal minimum, or rather it would do if anybody had the common sense to set a legal minimum. The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79. In the summer it's too darn hot. It's one thing to be the sort of life form that thrives on heat and finds, as the Frastrans do, that the temperature range between 40,000 and 40,004 is very equable, but it's quite another to be the sort of animal that has to wrap itself up in lots of other animals at one point in your planet's orbit, and then find, half an orbit later, that your skin's bubbling. Spring is overrated. A lot of the inhabitants of New York will honk on mightily about the pleasures of spring, but if they actually knew the first thing about the pleasures of spring they would know of at least 5,983 better places to spend it than New York, and that's just on the same latitude. Fall, though, is the worst. Few things are wose than fall in New York. Some of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats would disagree, but most of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats are highly disagreeable anyway, so their opinion can and should be discounted. When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe, the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building.

New Yorker: "Spring in New York is the best\!" Citizen of nearly any other city: "Yea, the all the flowers and trees\! You do know what those are...right?" New Yorker: "..."

An otherwise decent state with one big pimple called New York City. NYC is filthy (yes, STILL) and smells like trash. All NYC will do is take your money until you're smart enough to move to Upstate (where, now that electing Democrats is growing up there, will still take your money) or somewhere else in the US. Upstate is beautiful--mountains, the Finger Lakes, Niagara Falls, etc. New York is an okay place to visit, but I'd never, ever want to live there for an instant. Everyone who says it's so awesome a.) Can't spell (seriously, have you read these posts? What the hell are those public schools DOING?\!) and b.) Can't base their "best-ness" on anything except mild cultural achievements that will be forgotten in 100 years. And btw, whoever said there was a city in Upstate akin to Houston obviously doesn't know anything about Houston, the fourth-largest city in the nation...whereas the next largest city in New York is Buffalo at number 69...below Anchorage, AK. And on the whole, New York City is the loudest place I've ever been and it produces the loudest people I've ever met. If you want to go to New York, you'd be much better off spending your time in a decent place like Rochester, or hiking in the State Park.

Me: This New York place isn't so bad as long as you stay Upstate. Snow? What the heck is this stuff? Why is every freeway a tollway? And why are the taxes so high to live here? State Income Tax?\! What the crap?\! God, I miss Texas.

The worst city in the United States. New Yorkers claim that outsiders "don't understand", but "not understanding" is an understatement. New York is a place where people walk when they shouldn't walk, shouldn't walk when they should, and pay more than a million dollars to live in neighborhoods like "The Village", that just a decade ago was considered "ghetto". The city of New York is, at best, a nice place to visit for a day or two, but no one would ever, EVER want to live there. ...except people from New Jersey, who would give their right testicular to be considered New Yorkers.

New York would be a great vacation spot, if it wasn't so noisy\!

A state with high taxes and horrible living spaces. A state full of assholes and people who think they own the world. The city (I have been there) is full of douchebags who get offended if you even ask them for directions. Don't bother asking if there are 2 of them, because they will get in an argument with each other over which way is faster. As if it fucking matters, the entire city is so fucking packed with stuck up uptight pricks that if you even slightly touch someone they will grab your shoulder and accuse you of stealing their wallet. NYers shop at Macys and will ALWAYS complain about something that is not from NY. When they take a vacation to the south they never enjoy it because all they do is bitch about how 'hot it is' down here or how bad the drivers are or 'how they cant get a real 'fockin peeetza dawg'. Basically, yankees are assholes and the Canadians up north are much nicer. Yankees are the reason that countries like Australia, Canada, Britain and 99% of every other country in the world hate us and think we're stupid people. They have no idea of the concept of being nice and if you are nice to them they will automatically assume you're trying to rob them or something. They are uptight and you can NEVER have fun with a yankee. They have shitty weed up there the only good weed is from the south (dont even mention NYC diesel) and they have no concept of what a tree is. They think walking through central park is nature, and will talk about how its so nice when they take their little family strolls, but then when they go down south to the apallachians all they do is whine and bitch about the bugs or that there is nobody there and theres a bunch of hicks. Agh basically NY is full of stupid asswipes who only care about money. No wonder the terrorist picked NYC to hit, its full of the people WE ALL hate\!

New York is such a shithole, no wonder Osama chose to bomb it instead of a place like the south where nobody is involved in politics and nobody pisses anybody else off because we're actually NICE.

The second worst state in the U. S., after Illinois. (Unlike Illinois, New York didn't require a three-fifths majority of both houses of its state legislature to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment.) People upstate aren't that much nicer than people in New York City. The superiority complexes on roids are infuriating. Even 90% of upstate New Yorkers have a superiority complex. It wouldn't matter for whom New Yorkers vote, because the winner would govern poorly. I am not surprised that anyone would want to crash a plane into a building within New York City, and I wouldn't be surprised by a terrorist attack upstate either. I am not surprised that cars with a New York license plate get stopped in other states because of anti-New York sentiment. If I didn't live in New York, I would rather lose a limb than go back to New York.

A city with unparalleled strength, influence, and importance. It is a well-rounded, global, hip, trendy, of-the-moment, powerful, important, and cultured city. It is the premiere city of the United States and also the most important. No doubt about that. It's a city full of arrogant delusional folks who think their city is superior to all others. It's the "center of the universe", the "capital of the world", the "greatest city on earth". They seem to have such pride in their city. So why do they keep talking trash about Los Angeles? I don't know. All the defintions of "Los Angeles" were probably made by New Yorkers who haven't left their city in the past 5 years and still base their opinions on experiences in 2001. They should just admit that they feel threatened by Los Angeles because the gap between LA and NYC is always decreasing. New Yorkers live in closets in which they paid half their salary on just to live in the provincial nation of Manhattan. Yes, those closets are filled with cheap furniture, people who can't decorate because they don't have the time (being too busy "making it to the top"), and probably never utilize their kitchens as they are always out at night enjoying the nightlife. Its subways are very cruddy. Aside from Manhattan, there is essentially NOTHING to love about New York City and really all of New York State.

Very intellectually stimulating and culturally charged city, from it's EUROPEAN contributions. Whereas the Puerto Ricans add nothing, and everyone hates them. And the negroes worse. A city as of late the Irish have claimed credit for building? Even though it was already built, when the Dutch had arrived. They just contributed to it's corrupt politics and greasing the squekey wheel.

Look at Ireland, do they build anything? They have have many good writers, because the Irish are good bullshitters, and that is it. But they did not build New York.
