Is There Really Only One New York?
You might think New York City is the only New York, right? Like, it’s the Big Apple, the City That Never Sleeps, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of... and pizza is life. But hold your horses, city slicker! There’s a whole world out there, and it's full of places that decided to steal our thunder by naming themselves New York too.

New York, New York (But Not That New York)
Let's get one thing straight: there is definitely only one real New York. But there are a bunch of imposters out there trying to claim the title. From the rolling hills of England to the sun-kissed shores of Brazil, these places have some serious audacity.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
Who are these copycats? Well, there’s New York in England, New York in Australia, even a New York in Brazil! Can you imagine trying to explain to someone you're from New York and they’re like, "Oh, like the one in Yorkshire?" Yeah, we’ve been there.
QuickTip: Compare this post with what you already know.
What’s in a Name?
You might be wondering, why would anyone name a place New York? Did they just really love the movie When Harry Met Sally? Or maybe they were secretly hoping to confuse tourists? Who knows. But one thing's for sure, it's a bit of a slap in the face to the original.
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
We should probably start a campaign to trademark the name "New York." Or maybe just build a really, really tall statue of liberty that can be seen from space. Just kidding (kind of).
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.

So, Should You Visit These Other New Yorks?
Look, if you're dying to see a place called New York that isn't actually New York, go for it. But don't come crying to us when you realize it's not the city that never sleeps.
Pro tip: If you want the authentic New York experience, just come to the real New York. We've got everything you could ever want: pizza, bagels, attitude, and a whole lot of noise.
How To... New York Edition
- How to tell if you're in the real New York: If you see a yellow cab, a hot dog vendor, and someone yelling into a phone while walking really fast, you're in the right place.
- How to survive the New York subway: Hold on tight, don't make eye contact, and always have an exit plan.
- How to order a bagel: It's not a bagel unless it's from a New York bagel shop. Trust us.
- How to see a Broadway show: Book tickets in advance, dress to impress (kind of), and be prepared to spend some serious cash.
- How to find the best pizza: It's a matter of opinion, but a good starting point is to find a place with a long line.
So there you have it, folks. The world is full of copycats, but there's only one true New York City. Now go forth and conquer!
