New York Travel and Tourism Guide

New York is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States of America. It's bordered by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Pennsylvania, and shares an international border with the Canadian provinces of Quebec and Ontario. Its five largest cities are New York City (also the largest city in the United States), Buffalo, Rochester, Yonkers, and Syracuse.

New York City is comprised of five boroughs: the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and Staten Island. New York City is home to more than two-fifths of the state's population. Buffalo is the second largest city in the state. The smallest city is Sherrill, New York, located just west of the Town of Vernon in Oneida County. Albany is the state capital, and the Town of Hempstead is the civil township with the largest population.

New York is a very diverse state. From Long Island, to New York City, to the Adirondacks and the Berkshires, one can encounter great geographic diversity, and a myriad of activities to keep everyone happy.

If you do come to New York City, make sure you pay a visit to Manhattan. This is good for mostly everyone that is addicted to shopping and likes being small (the buildings are fascinatingly high). Broadway is very much worth a visit, as is Greenwich village.
