Highlights: The City of New York with over 8.2 million residents is the most populous city in the United States, with its metropolitan area ranking among the largest urban areas in the world. It comprises five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island.

New York City has been the largest city in the United States since 1790, and was the country's first capital city and the site of George Washington's inauguration as the first president of the United States. For more than a century, it has been one of the world's major centers of commerce and finance. New York City is rated as an alpha world city for its global influences in media, politics, education, entertainment, arts, and fashion. The city is also a major center for foreign affairs, hosting the headquarters of the United Nations.

New York is the birthplace of many cultural movements, including the Harlem Renaissance in literature and visual art, abstract expressionism (also known as the New York School) in painting, and hip hop, punk, salsa, and Tin Pan Alley in music. In 2005, nearly 170 languages were spoken in the city and 36% of its population was born outside the United States. With its 24-hour subway and constant bustling of traffic and people, New York is known as "The City That Never Sleeps." Frank Sinatra invites you to come to New York with the following video: "If you can make it there, you'll make it anywhere."

Central Park, at the very heart (if not the very heart) of New York City, is one of the most inspiring combinations of architecture, landscape design, and urban planning to be found anywhere on the face of the earth. It ranks as a symbol of New York City only behind the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building. Unlike these two, however, Central Park is dynamic, vibrant; a constantly changing counterpoint to the brilliant, but static, architectural achievements that surround it.
