The only place where everyone can be in one place and yet mind their own business, whether it being on their blackberry or being deep in thought, with the occasional run-in all try to avoid. You barely even notice other people. You can be wearing the silliest Lady Gaga outfit and nobody will even give you a second look. It's the only place that isn't a community; so many people within the thirteen miles and yet you don't know anyone except your close circle of friends. The hottest eligible bachelors are found here. You don't need to be a New Yorker to fit in, because standing out is exactly what it means to fit in there. It is globally known for its diversity and rich culture and for its success in the film and business industry. You can come to New York to pursue whatever dreams you have. And also, New York City is home to many. Just don't wear any "I <3 NY" souvenirs and you'll fit right in -- they scream out tourist and have "tourist" written all over it. And don't stand in the corner of the sidewalk looking at a map.
*Woman on the sidewalk looking at map, wearing an I <3 NY sweater*
Man: Tourist?
Woman: Yeah, how'd you know?
Man: Well, for starters, native New Yorkers don't ever wear those sweaters. And most natives know how to get around without looking at a map.
Woman: Oh well, thank you. How do you get from Madison to Fifth Avenue?

Ah, New York, the great New York City State, from Wall Street in New York City to Madison Square Garden in New York City, and of course you cant forget to go to the statue of Liberty in once again New York City. Also, its the only city in New York (except for Albany, Buffalo, Yonkers, and dozens others)

The guy I was "meant to be with." He has the greatest blue eyes in the world. His hair's the color of mine and he makes me crack up. He's really nice and so sweet. He has the Empire State Building, one of the tallest towers in the world. And he has hot spicy pizza. He's just amazing. He also has the Twin Towers. He's cool. He's really funny and crazy, but really sweet and nice. New York is the best state ever. <3

In the wintertime the temperature falls well below the legal minimum, or rather it would do if anybody had the common sense to set a legal minimum. The last time anybody made a list of the top hundred character attributes of New Yorkers, common sense snuck in at number 79. In the summer it's too darn hot. It's one thing to be the sort of life form that thrives on heat and finds, as the Frastrans do, that the temperature range between 40,000 and 40,004 is very equable, but it's quite another to be the sort of animal that has to wrap itself up in lots of other animals at one point in your planet's orbit, and then find, half an orbit later, that your skin's bubbling. Spring is overrated. A lot of the inhabitants of New York will honk on mightily about the pleasures of spring, but if they actually knew the first thing about the pleasures of spring they would know of at least 5,983 better places to spend it than New York, and that's just on the same latitude. Fall, though, is the worst. Few things are wose than fall in New York. Some of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats would disagree, but most of the things that live in the lower intestines of rats are highly disagreeable anyway, so their opinion can and should be discounted. When it's fall in New York, the air smells as if someone's been frying goats in it, and if you are keen to breathe, the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building.
New Yorker: "Spring in New York is the best!"
Citizen of nearly any other city: "Yea, the all the flowers and trees! You do know what those are...right?"
New Yorker: "..."

A scene or location characterized by a multitude of unrelated activities and/or large groups of people.
You should have been at the party last night, man - eight kegs, 15 bottles of liquor, hundreds of people all over the place. It was New York.
