New York, New York, it's a wonderful town! When I tell out-of-towners that I'm from Brooklyn, New York, they look at me as if to say: "You poor thing. Why are you still alive? Shouldn't you be dead or mugged or something?" Contrary to popular opinion, New York City can be a great place to be a teen. There are so many things to do and there is always something happening. This city runs on excitement and is full of life! Before we look at the great things about New York, let's see just how big this city really is. The New York City limits include five boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, the Bronx and Staten Island. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
