thanks
I didn't know NY was such a big city.. I though all those suburbs that you mentioned were cities on their own ...aren't they? or is NY more like a metropolitan area?

When I mention "borough" in this context, they are part of New York City proper. New York has 5 boroughs, which correspond with 5 counties. It's in southeast New York State. Manhattan and Staten Island on on their own islands. Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island. The Bronx is on the mainland.

NYC has about 8.4 million people; the Metro area has nearly 20 million.

So you meant NY as a borough right ..?
you don't live n the actual city of NY

I live in the actual City of New York. The Borough of Queens is part of the City of New York.

New York City consists of five boroughs. All are equally part of the City of New York.

There are people who call Manhattan "the City"--but that's local slang.

New Yorker--born and raised!! !

Forgive my lack of knowledge ^_^' but it's quite confusing.
TO me New York City was the city with high buildings, near the sea. That's pretty much all I know about it...I have to check a map to understand what you mean

All of New York City is near the sea. MOST of the "high buildings" are in Manhattan--but there are some in Brooklyn as well--and a few in Queens. The only tall buildings in the Bronx are the housing projects (somewhat equivalent to bad Council Housing within a UK context).

If you look at a map, Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island, and are the easternmost part of NYC. Staten Island (also known as Richmond County) is its own island, and is within the westernmost and the southernmost part of NYC; it's also the least populated, by far. Manhattan is its own island, is the smallest borough in area, is right in the middle of NYC (yet is more west and east), and is the most densely populated, and has two main skylines (though Brooklyn and Queens actually have more people than Manhattan). The Bronx is in the northernmost part of the city, and is the only borough on the mainland of the northeast United States.

Now...may I have a Triple Grenadine--I'm exhausted!

Hi peoples, goodmorning!! lol, kortie..actually I like exploring google-earth.
Or liked, it has become more messed up in the last year or so!

Kraftie: I'm sorry we don't have Grenadine any more. I drank it all while trying to understand the complicated NYC.
Would you like something else?
