Driving Downtown - New York City New York USA - Episode 54.
The City of New York, often called New York City or simply New York, is the most populous city in the United States. With an estimated 2017 population of 8,622,698 distributed over a land area of about 302.6 square miles (784 km2), New York City is also the most densely populated major city in the United States. Located at the southern tip of the state of New York, the city is the center of the New York metropolitan area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world, with an estimated 20.3 million people in its 2017 Metropolitan Statistical Area and 23.7 million residents in its Combined Statistical Area. A global power city, New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, and exerts a significant impact upon commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, and sports. The city's fast pace defines the term New York minute. Home to the headquarters of the United Nations, New York is an important center for international diplomacy.

Situated on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a separate county of the State of New York. The five boroughs – Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island – were consolidated into a single city in 1898. The city and its metropolitan area constitute the premier gateway for legal immigration to the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. New York City is home to more than 3.2 million residents born outside the United States, the largest foreign-born population of any city in the world. In 2013, the tri-state New York Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) produced a gross metropolitan product (GMP) of nearly US$1.4 trillion. If greater New York City were a sovereign state, it would have the 12th highest GDP in the world.

New York City traces its origins to a trading post founded by colonists from the Dutch Republic in 1624 on Lower Manhattan; the post was named New Amsterdam in 1626. The city and its surroundings came under English control in 1664 and were renamed New York after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother, the Duke of York. New York served as the capital of the United States from 1785 until 1790. It has been the country's largest city since 1790. The Statue of Liberty greeted millions of immigrants as they came to the Americas by ship in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is a world symbol of the United States and its ideals of liberty and peace. In the 21st century, New York has emerged as a global node of creativity and entrepreneurship, social tolerance, and environmental sustainability, and as a symbol of freedom and cultural diversity.

Many districts and landmarks in New York City are well known, and the city received a record 61 million tourists in 2016, hosting three of the world's ten most visited tourist attractions in 2013. Several sources have ranked New York the most photographed city in the world. Times Square, iconic as the world's "heart" and its "Crossroads", is the brightly illuminated hub of the Broadway Theater District, one of the world's busiest pedestrian intersections, and a major center of the world's entertainment industry. The names of many of the city's bridges, skyscrapers, and parks are known around the world. Anchored by Wall Street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, New York City has been called both the most economically powerful city and the leading financial center of the world, and the city is home to the world's two largest stock exchanges by total market capitalization, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. Manhattan's real estate market is among the most expensive in the world. Manhattan's Chinatown incorporates the highest concentration of Chinese people in the Western Hemisphere, with multiple signature Chinatowns developing across the city. Providing continuous 24/7 service, the New York City Subway is one of the most extensive metro systems worldwide, with 472 stations in operation. Over 120 colleges and universities are located in New York City, including Columbia University, New York University, and Rockefeller University, which have been ranked among the top universities in the world.

I'm sitting here with my cats in small village in Poland, drinking coffee with milk and watching streets of New York city. It's just amazing! Thank you. Greeting!

[TheBaz]

This is the type of video you watch at 3am when you're not tired.

[TPIR_Fan_]

My wife was sitting here next to me and said "why do you watch this?". Well, I've never been to New York and I find watching this to be...relaxing, actually. I'm not doing the driving, I'm just watching the scenery and enjoying the sights. Well done!

[sarahazvd]

I just arrived in New York, I came from Deutschland 🇩🇪. What a beautiful city!

[seriesguy]

Going to New York ... Once in my Life ... Is my Dream 😀😀

[FaBrYwEdA]

I'm from Milan Italy, and I worked 18 months in this magnificent city. It was exhausting and not easy, (especially because New Yorkers aren't very welcoming most of the cases), but I definitely missing the vibes that only this city can transmit. I miss you NYC!!

[gustavorosas]

I recently visited New York for the holidays and it was an experience I won't forget. The views were just breathtaking. I'm certainly looking forward to go back.

[allthingstravon]

Been to NYC twice. Once for two months and then a second time for a week. The best city in the world. The views and the vibes are unforgettable. There's a kind of euphoric feeling you get when you're in NYC that you dont get when you're in another city. At least for me.

[chevi]

I'm manifesting right now... Next year I will be walking /driving on these roads and Lanes !!!

[atub]

Is it just me or does NYC give such a good vibe.

[Cindy-vlxj]

You’re such a kind driver and so patient, you let people drive in front of you 👏🥺

[OmarGomez-gxeu]

New York city is such an amazing place. It's so vibrant.

[byeongcho]

I never thought the New York sounds will make me sleep

[marajcentral]

Being from a small town in the south, I can't even begin to imagine the stress I would be in if I ever was to visit a major city such as NYC... Being able to push 70 mph on a two lane road to go to the dollar store at 8 pm within less than 15 minutes I feel is a luxury that I would truly miss. Everyone here seems to know exactly when and how to maneuver.

[arasappaje]

Thank you YOUTUBE..showing me NEW YORK sitting in home...
Love it

[사라미-oh]

nyc was my first time ever in a city and my main impression was of how there's nothing but concrete on all sides for miles, and how the streets are so damn narrow. not all cities are probably like this and i will admit at first it was really claustrophobic, but i spent a long time just walking and ended up in awe that places like this even exist.

11:27 the lights being synchronized is amazing

[K.B.Williams]

That stop and go traffic would drive me insane.
