New York City

New York City I divided New York into three different parts: About New York Boroughs Sights I want to begin with the topic About New York. I think, well, I hope you all know, that the state New York is in the north-east of the US. Here you are able to see its exact location. On this second map it is possible to see New York more exactly. New York is about 133. 125 square miles large and has about 18. 500. 000 inhabitants.
