House for global finance, art, theater, the Mafia, and some of the best foods in the world, New York is a cosmopolitan city, from the Upper West Side all the way to the Bronx. Ethnic enclaves provide endless opportunities to explore the world without leaving the city. From Little Italy to Chinatown for Korean neighborhood in the Bronx, it, like all cultures of the world are represented here seems. its streets navigate, you can slip in and out of these areas by simply crossing a road. As the Eagle said, "In a minute, New York, everything can change."
in 1613 by the Netherlands evaluated the city was originally called New Amsterdam. The natives were conducted in the past Hoodwinked what is now one of the major real estate markets in the world for 24 dollars worth of glass beads. The city played an important role in trade with its natural harbor and defense. However, it was ignored by the Dutch, who never saw his full potential and were from the Far East, slaves busy and tea. The Englishman saw how great this place was, and after a series of battles and negotiations, the British Empire control won in 1674 and renamed it New York City to the Duke of York.
Over the years, as the country grew and trade and shipping was important, New York City and grew. With waves of immigration in the 19th and early 20th century, grew up in New York in size and scope. Now it is one of the most important cities in the world. Perhaps it was always the cosmopolitan center is now supposed to be. History had perhaps a fate for this island.
