Nice start on this entry.  :-)


I want to add to list of places but my knowledge of New York sites is very shakey:

  • RCA Building/Center
  • Radio City Music Hall

I need to do a lot more on the history, at a minimum, including Tammany Hall, Fiorello LaGuardia, the fiscal crisis of the 1970s, immigration and Ellis Island, and the subway system. Vicki Rosenzweig

Could someone please explain how do New York City boroughs differ from New York State counties? Are they just different names for the one entity, or do the county and borough have different administrative structures? What administrative structures does each borough have? Is the mayor of NYC mayor of all five boroughs? If so, what are the leaders of each individual boroughs called? Mayors also? -- SJK

I've added a brief explanation of boroughs as counties. Let me know what you think. -- Vicki Rosenzweig---- I would say there are well over 100 "places to visit" in NYC, for example, other museums, places of worship, landmark neighborhoods, etc. I wouldn't even know where to start??? RoseParks

Added links under "Famous buildings, sites, and monuments" to Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Central Park|Strawberry Fields, Grand Army Plaza, Prospect Park. Added link under "Museums" to Brooklyn Museum of Art. Added link under "Events" to September 11, 2001. Mainly I was trying to flesh out the article with some links to Brooklyn information. I hope this is appropriate, but it seemed to be since the article as a whole is covering all 5 boroughs. Qwirty

Changed the population category back to Asian rather than Asian American. Usually a good idea to not change census information, without good reason. See: http://www.ci.nyc.ny.us/html/dcp/html/census/popdiv.html - Fuzheado

See User talk:Ram-Man; the issue is still unresolved. I would prefer that it not be a link at all, than to have it linked to a continent, which is irrelevant to the ethnic group. If the need is to conform perfectly with the census, "Black" must be added before "African American" and "Nonhispanic" should be added to white. --Jiang
