Editing New York City

'''New York City''' is the largest city in the [[United States of America]]. It is located in [[New York State]], towards the northern end of the eastern seaboard.

# [[Manhattan]], which occupies Manhattan Island.
# [[Queens]], which is on [[Long Island]].
# [[Staten Island]], which occupies Staten Island.
# [[The Bronx]], which is the only borough on the mainland.
