I chose to talk about New York today because it is such an interesting place to live in or to visit. New York City consists of 5 boroughs. Each of which is a separate country of New York State. The five boroughs Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island were consolidated into a single city in 1898. Some interesting facts about New York is that it 722 miles of subway track. The Big Apple is a term coined by musicians meaning to play the big time. New York was the first state to require license plate on their cars. New York is home to 58 species of wild orchids. It has over 70,000 miles of rivers and streams. The first American chess tournament was held in New York in 1843. I actually visited New York myself about three years ago in 2014. It was such a fun time. Many memories were made there that I will never forget. I visited a lot of well known places. I also met new interesting people. I was supposed to go back this year, although I don’t think it will be happening any time soon. I do wish to go back.
