All About New York City

New York City (NYC) is a bustling city of 8 million people who live in five boroughs which are composed of distinct neighborhoods. The conference will be in the borough of Manhattan in a neighborhood called the Upper West Side (UWS), so named because it lies above the main commercial parts of the city on the west side of the island.



Located on one of the world's largest natural harbors, New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is a county of New York State. The five boroughs—The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island—were consolidated into a single city in 1898. With a census-estimated 2012 population of 8,336,69 distributed over a land area of just 302.64 square miles (783.8 km2) New York is the most densely populated major city in the United States. As many as 800 languages are spoken in New York, making it the most linguistically diverse city in the world. The New York City Metropolitan Area's population is the United States' largest, with 18.9 million people distributed over 6,720 square miles (17,400 km2), and is also part of the most populous combined statistical area in the United States, containing 22.2 million people as of 2011.



There is no one best area to select in New York City. The public transit system takes tourists safely and cheaply to about 95% of tourist attractions, 24 hours a day, 7days a week, 365 days a year.  It really depends on what kind of lodging you need, your budget and what you want to do and see while you're here. Some neighborhoods are more residential, and some are more commercial. Some, such as Times Square, are teeming with tourists. Some, like the Upper West Side or Chelsea, attract fewer tourists, and more long time residents.



“The Big Apple” is a major world capital and a world leader in finance, the arts, and communications. The port of New York is one of the finest in the world and ranks as the largest port complex on the East Coast. The city is the home of the United Nations and is headquarters for some of the world's largest corporations. The city is also the center of advertising, fashion, publishing, and radio broadcasting in the United States.
