New York

New York is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States, and is the country's third most populous state. The state is bordered by New Jersey, and Pennsylvania to the south, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to the east. The state has a water border with Rhode Island off the east coast of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario to the northwest. New York is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City.
New York City, which is the largest city in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center. It was named after the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland.

New York is a great city one of its own kind in whole world.I visited it last time in October and was impressed with the hospitality and kindness.Every thing from Airport taxi to hotel tour guys all was good.Airport limo was fun to have in such a low price. I was amazed by the choices of transportation,like you could have a choper to go to downtown for few hundred dollars. All museums and downtown were full of fun loving people.New york is the place man,i would love to go their over and over.
