New York City is actually five small counties(boroughs) in the southern part of New York state. Two of the counties are on western Long Island(Queens and Brooklyn); two counties are islands(Manhattan and Staten Island); and one county is on the southern tip of the state(Bronx). New York City is one of the financial capitals of the Western Hemisphere and has many attractions for tourists. Most of these attractions are in Manhattan. However, there are some good places to visit in the other four boroughs.
New York is a great place to visit and has some great restaurants. Be prepared, though. Many things in Manhattan are very expensive. If you want a good, cheap restaurant, I recommend going to one of the other boroughs(specifically Queens). The cultural diversity of New York makes way for many restaurants with cuisines from many countries.
Some good attractions in the city include Bronx Zoo, the Coney Island aquarium, Museum of Natural History, Intrepid Museum, and Statue of Libterty. For sports fans, there is also Shea Stadium in Queens, Yankee Stadium in Bronx, Giants Stadium and Prudential Center in nearby New Jersey, Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, and Nassau Veterans Memorial Colloseum in Nassau county(east of Queens).
Despite all this, New York City does have its problems. Inflation is causing the prices of good to go up even more. Not to mention, gentrification and other things are causing housing to go up. Ever since 9/11, it's been getting worse and worse to live in the city. Even in the less expensive outer boroughs. On top of this, some of the residents are arrogant morons who like to talk about how great the city is. Some parts of the city are also areas you want to stay away from(Harlem, certain parts of Brooklyn, Queens, and Bronx).

*Tourists from another city.*
1st tourist: New York City has been a great place to visit the last four days. The Statue of Liberty looks splendid from here. We should go see it.
2nd tourist: Sure, then we can go to Shea Stadium later and watch those Mets get whipped by the Braves! The Braves shall rise again!
1st tourist: Ok...

Get the New York Citymug. When someone offers you a neon gravity chair and tent to sleep in instead of inviting you into their home.
That Meghan girl sure is sweet besides the unwanted gift she gave me.... she sure showed me some New York hospitality when I needed I place to stay.

Get the new york hospitalitymug. A Christmas song the BBC loves to whinge about because it has the word "faggot" in it and distorts it to suit their own false narrative that the song is homophobic, when really "faggot" can be used as an Irish slang to call someone a lazy person.
Fairytale of New York is not a homophobic song, so stop taking it out of context to fit your SJW narrative you whiners!

Get the Newport, New Yorkmug. An agreement between two spouses who hate each other that is is in their best interest to remain married solely for financial purposes.
"Man you ever think about getting a divorce."
"Nah, my wife's a fuckin' lawyer, and our mortgage isn't paid off."
"Geez man, you're stuck in a New York Marriage."

Get the New York Marriagemug. Walking/standing in the streets of NYC and having water from the back of ACs from floors above you that aren't properly draining drip onto you, leaving you confused, angry, and slightly disgusted.
"I was waiting for my chop cheese outside the bodega cause it got mad crowded and the whole time that bitch neighbor's AC was giving me and my girl a New York Shower. Mad disgusting."
Non-resident: What the fuck--it's not raining. Where's this water coming from?
New Yorker: You just got a New York Shower, kid.
