New York City is the most populous city in the United States, and is located in the state of New York itself. It’s considered a global city, with a powerful influence over art, commerce, finance, culture, fashion, international affairs, and entertainment. It’s the home of the UN and is notable for being one of the few cities to utilize a 24 hour mass transit system. Its current population sits at over 8.2 million.

The city was originally a Dutch settlement, though after Britain gained control of the original thirteen colonies it grew into an important trading post while under British rule. The city helped to establish freedom of the press in the United States, and played a major role during both the Revolution and the American Civil War. Immigration into the city was (and still is) quite common, and even today Ellis Island is in use; it was the site of the Draft Riots of 1863, and was “one of the worst incidents of civil unrest in American history.” Today the city is known for its mass transit, including the New York City Subway, which was opened in 1904, as well as its many skyscrapers and tourist destinations.

The city is known for its warm summers and cold winters, due to its location on the Atlantic Ocean. During the summer, temperatures hover around 80 degrees, while lows drop typically into the low 70′s or upper 60′s. During the winter months, however, temperatures stay around 38 or so, while they can drop below freezing overnight.
