THE FIVE BOROUGHS OF NEW YORK
The city of New York is divided into five Boroughs: Manhattan, The Bronx,
Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island
Manhattan is located at the mouth of the Hudson River and is considered the
major commercial, financial, and cultural centre of the world. With the largest
central business district in the United States, it is the site of the New York Stock
Exchange and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in
the country. Manhattan is where most visitors to the city choose to stay.
The Bronx with its wide variety of neighbourhoods including the affluent
Riverdale and Country Club combined with its cultural mix, The Bronx has
become a wellspring of both Latin music and hip hop.
Brooklyn is New York City’s most populous borough, with 2.5 million residents
and maintains a distinct culture, independent art scene, and unique architectural
heritage.
Queens is home to John F. Kennedy and La Guardia airports; it is also the
location of the New York Mets baseball team; the US Open tennis tournament;
Flushing Meadows Park; Kaufman Astoria Studios and Frank Sinatra School of
the Arts.
Staten Island is connected to Manhattan by the free Staten Island Ferry - a
popular tourist attraction, providing views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island
and lower Manhattan.
