A thriving metropolis considered by many as the "greatest city in the world" is mired with homeland security issues in post-9/11. The Republican National Convention came and went as the city and federal government spent untold millions to make it safe for the GOP delegation and attendees. After the World Trade Center came down on 9/11, lower Manhattan was left with a nondescript skyline, leaving a huge void in the financial epicenter of the world.
1. New York City is home to a myriad of financial institutions, institutions of higher-learning, law firms, media outlets, proffesional sports teams, parks, governmental offices, corporate headquarters, and houses the largest collection of skyscrapers in the world.
2. The World Trade Center in New York City, was once the single largest office complex of its kind (second in size to the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.) with 110 floors in each tower, consisting of a little over 11,000,000 square feet of rentable space. It included an observation deck, hotel, pedestrian plaza, shops and restaurants. The World Trade Center had direct access to subway lines and world commerce. It's an American icon that will be truly missed.
3. New York City is smoke-free in all public places thanks, in part, to New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and New York Governor George Pataki.

New York City is a massive pile of garbage on America's east coast, and is thankfully downwind to the rest of America's citizens. It is the only city in the country that prides itself on being over-priced, filthy, and rude to visitors, yet out-of-towners still show up in droves.
Citizens of New York City are generally douchebags. They rarely take pride in anything they've accomplished in life, but rather where their mother happened to shit them out. People who no longer live in NYC will tell you how great it is (in barely understandable English) even though you didn't ask and couldn't care less.
As of 9/11/2001, apparently EVERYONE in New York City and the surrounding cities, or even people who had a layover there once, narrowly averted death by changing their travel plans that day. They usually tell this to everyone within earshot to score sympathy.
In summation, New York City is to be avoided at all costs. Furthermore, Hollywood should stop making lame-ass movies and TV shows there, because we're all fucking sick of it.
GO SOX!

Hmmm where to start...
Most played out city in America.
Used to be a cool, tough, blue collared type place, but now is overrun with hipster faggets thinking they're living a "real", "urban" life style by leaving their shithole town in Maine or Pennsylvania and going to New York with 8 of their fucking suburbinite beer pong buddies. They love pretending to be poor even though their parents are probably paying $1000000000 for their closet sized apartment in SoHo. Once they move there they think they have the rough city life figured out (even tho NYC is not real, or rough city anymore) and flaunt it in other places with true born n raised, hard working city people like Chicago, Philly or Atlanta.
Native New Yorker's try and hide this but everyone knows their city has gone fake and sissified, and that New Yorkers are bunch of pussies now. They fail to realize you're not tough when ur talking shit while wearing the latest in designer fashion, and while spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to live in a so-called new york "ghetto". White people spike their hair and wear skin tight clothes, black people skateboard, and "gangbangers" pay more money to stay in their "hood" than somebody in Philly or Chicago would for a real nice apartment in a good area. Yeah New York, real tough.

New York City used to be like a big version of Chicago, now it's a like big version of San Francisco, but natives are in denial.
Harlem native Cam'ron realizes how soft New York City has become, and is now representing Chicago and other Midwest areas on his new album for street cred.

Colloquialism for the city of New York, most often used in those occasions where the metropolis must be distinguished from the rest of the state. However, does not exist as an official, political entity; the official name of the city IS, indeed, just the City of New York. For instance, Kansas City is officially the City of Kansas City, but New York is not officially the City of New York City.
There is actually no such thing as New York City; that's not the official name. There is, however, such thing as the City of New York.
