New York City, the biggest city in the United States, lies at the mouth of the Hudson River in the southern most part of the state, which is part of the Mid-Atlantic region of the USA. New York City consists of five boroughs, Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Each borough has a unique culture and could be a large city in its own right. Visitors to Manhattan usually divide their time between Downtown (Wall St, Liberty Island ferry, Chinatown, SoHo, East Village), Midtown (Times Square, Theatres, Empire State, 5th Ave stores, Chelsea, Gramercy), and Uptown (Central Park, Upper East Side museums, Harlem, Upper West cafes).
