Hey guys and welcome to cool vision in this video we're going to be talking about New York City. Some call it the least American city, No wonder 55 of households don't have a car here. It's the most popular city in the U.S. with a population of 8.8 million and 20 million people living in the metro area.
Let's learn more about New York. New York City is situated on a large natural harbor composed of five boroughs, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and of course Manhattan. Two blocks down and take a right, a block has a literal meaning here, all streets are perpendicular and form a grid. Only the Southern tip of the Island is knocked out of the clear geometry where the streets don't form a grid, and broadway which runs diagonally across the island. The commissioner's plan of 1811 was the original design for the streets of Manhattan which put in place the rectangular grid plan, pretty convenient, the basic thing to remember is the avenues run north and

south while streets, run east and west. Everything is so compact and congested that you don't notice how you cover large distances, every new intersection brings something new and exciting,
To better understand the city, Let's take a quick look at its history, New York traces its origins to a trade-in post that was founded on the Southern tip of Manhattan Island by Dutch colonists in, they named it New Amsterdam. 40 years later in 1664, it came under English control and was renamed New York, after King Charles II of England granted the lands to his brother the duke of York, then comes independence war and the signing of a peace treaty British troops set sail for their homeland, and in 1785, New York became the capital of the United States for five years, the city's turning into a large industrial and financial center, Manhattan is being developed further up north with giant bridges in the first skyscrapers, the London one, over the course of the 19th century New York City's population grew from 60, 000 to 3.4 million.
In 1886, the main symbol of New York was erected on a small island near Manhattan. the Statue of Liberty, it was donated by France, immigrants from all over Europe are flocking here, Italians, Irish, Jews, and Russians. New York became the largest city in the world by 1925 in 1952, it solidified its global geopolitical influence when the United Nations headquarters were completed. Let's take a look at the five boroughs, and let's start with Manhattan, Manhattan island is divided into lower Manhattan midtown Manhattan and uptown regions. Times Square is the main tourist destination in midtown Manhattan, led by its numerous billboards, it got its name in 1904, when the New York Times moved its headquarters to the then newly erected times building, now called one Times Square, A Times Square billboard today runs from five thousand dollars to fifty thousand dollars a day, This place is always super crowded day and night, but honestly it's much more impressive at night, it's just fun sitting there and watching the people and all the ads running around, if you like large crowds and street performances, you're gonna enjoy it, it lives up to its name the city that never sleeps.
