New York (also referred to as "New York City" or "the City"), the biggest city in New York state, lies at the mouth of the Hudson River in the southern most part of the state, which is part of the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. The New York Metropolitan Area spans parts of three states-lower New York, northern New Jersey, and south-western Connecticut. It is the USA's largest metro area, with a population of 18.7 million. New York City is a centre for media, culture, food, fashion, art, research, finance, and trade. It has the largest and most famous skyline on earth, dominated by the iconic Empire State Building.

At the centre of New York City sits the borough of Manhattan, a long, narrow island nestled in a natural harbour. It is separated from The Bronx on the north east by the Harlem River (actually a tidal strait); from Queens and Brooklyn to the east and south by the East River (also a tidal strait); and from the State of New Jersey to the west and north by the Hudson River. (Staten Island lies to the south west, across Upper New York Bay.) In Manhattan, the terms "uptown" and "north" mean in the direction of the Bronx, north east on the compass, while "downtown" and "south" mean in the direction of the Battery, to the south west. To avoid confusion, simply use "uptown" and "downtown." The term "the city" may refer either to New York City as a whole, or to Manhattan alone, depending on the context. The Bronx, Brooklyn, Staten Island, and Queens are sometimes referred to as "the outer boroughs."

New York City is one of the global centres of international finance, politics, communications, film, music, fashion, and culture, and is among the world's most important and influential cities. It is home to many world-class museums, art galleries, and theatres. Many of the world's largest corporations have their headquarters here. The headquarters of the United Nations is in New York and most countries have a consulate here. This city's influence on the globe - and all its inhabitants - is hard to overstate, as decisions made within its boundaries often have impacts and ramifications literally across the globe. Immigrants (and their descendants) from over 180 countries live here, making it one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Travellers are attracted to New York City for its culture, energy and cosmopolitanism.

New York City is a global hub of international business and commerce and is one of three "command centers" for the world economy. The city is a major center for finance, insurance, real estate, media and the arts in the United States. Midtown Manhattan is the largest central business district in the United States and is home to the highest concentration of the city's skyscrapers. Creative industries such as new media, advertising, fashion, design and architecture account for a growing share of employment, with New York City possessing a strong competitive advantage in these industries. Tourism is important to New York City, with about 40 million foreign and American tourists visiting each year.
