New York is the largest city in the United States of America. It is one of the most densely populated territories of our planet. The city is located simultaneously in three states: its northwestern part is in New York with the same name, the southwestern part is in New Jersey, and the eastern part is in Connecticut.
New York, like any other large city, is divided into several administrative regions. The following are the main areas of New York.
Perhaps the most famous is Manhattan. About 1.5 million people live on its territory. The area is located on an island with a length of 21.7 kilometers and a width of 4 km at its widest point. This area of New York has an area of more than 62 square kilometers. Conventionally, Manhattan is divided into three parts: Uptown, Midtown, Downtown. The borders between them are on 14 and 59 streets. Like many areas of New York, they are also divided into many small areas, which often do not exceed the size of one block.
Manhattan is the heart of New York. It houses almost all the skyscrapers of the city. Here you can find attractions such as Empire State Building, Broadway, Times Square and much more. Off the coast of Manhattan is the Statue of Liberty.
Brooklyn is the largest district in the city by the number of residents. It is inhabited by 2.5 million citizens. You can get to this area from Manhattan through the Brooklyn or Manhattan bridges. Not only an automobile road passes along them, but also railway tracks and a metro line. On the territory of Brooklyn there are quarters of the famous Brighton Beach - the area that is mainly inhabited by immigrants from Russia and the CIS countries. In addition, in Brooklyn you can find a huge number of interesting places and attractions.
Most of the Queens area is located on the same island with Brooklyn. Its territory is home to just over 2 million people, most of whom are immigrants from the Middle East, Asia, Africa and southern Europe. Queens has seven huge sleeping areas. At one time they received the name "Seven Sisters". They live most of the area.
All areas of New York are located on the islands, but one Brockns has a continental location. It is the northernmost region. Today, this area is inhabited by more than 1.2 million people. Its southern part (South Bronx) has long earned a reputation as the most criminal place in the city. More attractive and safe is the North Bronx, which houses the famous Yankee team stadium.
Unlike Staten Island, all areas of New York are very popular among tourists. Staten Island is the calmest county in which life goes on. There is no influx of travelers characteristic of the city, so it is here that you can see the most ordinary and typical residents of this metropolis.
It is worth noting that New York, whose areas are very diverse, is a wonderful city that is worth visiting at least once in your life.
