The purpose of this group is to show the best of all five boros which, when combined and shaken, makes for one dynamic city.
New York City is comprised of The Five Boroughs - Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx. Throughout these boroughs there are hundreds of distinct neighborhoods with a definable history and character all their own.
This group is about the history, culture, people, sights, colors, smells, and styles of the 5 unique boroughs that make up the great City of New York.
Questo gruppo è la storia, la cultura, le persone, i luoghi da visitare, i colori, gli odori, e gli stili delle 5 circoscrizioni uniche che compongono la grande città di New York.
Please consider the upload of photos that focus on historical buildings or sites, landmarks, parks or nature reserves, political concerns (ex. the loss of wetland sites) and, the unique blend of ethnic groups and cultures.....in addition to anything that you believe to be representational of one of the 5 boros and/or all 5 boros combined ( = NYC).

***************************************************************************************** New York City is comprised of The Five Boroughs.Throughout the boroughs there are hundreds of distinct neighborhoods in the city, many with a definable history and character all their own.
Manhattan (New York County, pop. 1,564,798) is the business center of the city, and the most superlatively urban. It is the most densely populated, and the home of most of the city's skyscrapers. The borough is loosely divided into downtown, midtown, and uptown regions.
The Bronx (Bronx County, pop. 1,363,198) is known as the purported birthplace of hip hop culture, as well as the home of the New York Yankees. It has a large racial minority population, home to many Latinos and blacks. Excluding its minor islands, the Bronx is the only borough of the city that is on the mainland of the United States.
Brooklyn (Kings County, pop. 2,472,523) is the most ethnically diverse county in the U.S., with more immigrants than anywhere else in the nation. It is also the most populous borough, with a strong native identity. It ranges from a modern business district downtown to large historic residential neighborhoods in the central and south-eastern areas. It also has a long beachfront and Coney Island, famous as one of the earliest amusement grounds in the country. A large portion of Italian, Chinese, and Russian immigrants, just to name a few, come from Brooklyn.
Queens (Queens County, pop. 2,225,486) is geographically the largest borough. It is home to Shea Stadium and the New York Mets; two of the region's three major airports (LaGuardia and JFK); Flushing Meadows Corona Park, site of the 1939 and 1964 World Fairs; and the USTA National Tennis Center, home of the annual United States Open.
Staten Island (Richmond County, pop. 459,737) is quiet and the most suburban in character of the five boroughs, but has gradually become more integrated with the rest of the city since the opening of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964, an event that caused controversy and even an attempt at secession. Until 2001, Staten Island was the infamous home of the Fresh Kills Landfill, formerly the largest landfill in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NYC
