Where, Oh Where is the Big Apple?
New York City, that concrete jungle where dreams are made of (and rents are astronomical), is actually located in the United States of America. It's in a state also called New York. Yes, it's confusing, we get it. It’s like naming your kid "London" and then moving to Paris. But hey, that's America for ya - full of surprises and questionable decisions.
QuickTip: Every section builds on the last.
New York City is actually made up of five boroughs: Manhattan (where you'll find Times Square and Central Park), Brooklyn (home to hipsters and good pizza), Queens (diverse and underrated), The Bronx (birthplace of hip-hop), and Staten Island (the borough nobody really talks about).
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.

QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
