Often considered the cultural capital of the country, the Big Apple consists of dozens of different neighborhoods spread across five Boroughs, each with its own distinct character and history. [hider=The Bronx] [img]https://i.imgur.com/xR1fr1Y.jpg[/img] A largely residential area rife with slums and urban decay mainly in the southeast and estates along the Hudson River, the Bronx is the only portion of New York on the mainland. Public housing projects nestled among the piles of rubble and ruins are common sights in the Bronx. Many buildings are half demolished and stand in urban ruins, or vacant in this primarily Hispanic (Puerto Rican) area. The second largest minority here is African American which make up 37% of the total population. Distinct Italian neighborhoods are also found in the area and Asians make up a small percentage of the population. Industrial areas are few in the Bronx and concentrated in the southern most portion. They are chiefly made up of manufacturing plants such as food processing and garment assembly. Along the waterfront, shipping facilities, warehouses and the largest produce market on the East coast are the mainstay of the landscape.

It is a flat terrain located on Long Island across the East River and Upper New York Bay from Manhattan. Also known for its ethnic diversity, Brooklyn maintains a clear distinction from the rest of the city. It has a centralized business district and neighborhoods are varied and hold definite characteristics apart from each other. Racial tensions have been known to run high primarily in the neighborhoods of Bensonhurst, an African American neighborhood and Crown Heights which is populated by Orthdox Jews. Brooklyn is home to many industries and the Port of New York which handles a large volume of foreign and domestic trade with most facilities located in the northwest. Manufacturers are varied as the area handles anything from metal works to to textiles. Other industries include construction and transportation.

This is one of the world's leading financial, cultural, commercial, manufacturing, and medical centers. The smallest and oldest borough, Manhattan is the most dense in population. Comprised of an island surrounded by the Spuyten Dyvil and the Harlem River, the Hudson River, Upper New York Bay, and the East River, Manhattan is approximately 31 square miles in size and also includes a small portion of the Bronx and several islands in the East River.

It covers roughly 109 square miles of western Long Island and includes a few smaller islands, most of which are in Jamaica Bay and form part of Gateway National Recreation Area. It is also primarily residential but not without its important manufacturing, distribution and transportation facilities as Queens is home to both John F. Kennedy and La Guardia International Airports. Manufacturers of paints, metals, textiles, and paper products are located here.

It is an overwhelmingly white and upper income suburban area with rows of neatly manicured lawns. Separated from the city by Upper and Lower New York Bays, it is closer to New Jersey than New York and is linked to Manhattan by the Verrazano Bridge and the Staten Island Ferry. With docks and shipping facilities located on the north and northeastern shores, Staten Island's industrial activities include oil refining, chemical production, communication equipment, and soap.
