New York ( / n juː ˈ j ɔr k /; locally [nɪu ˈjoək] or [nuː ˈjɔrk]( listen)) is a state in the Northeastern region of the United States and is the nation's third most populous. The state is bordered by New Jersey and Pennsylvania to the south, and Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont to the east. The state has a maritime border with Rhode Island east of Long Island, as well as an international border with the Canadian provinces of Ontario to the west, and Quebec to the north. New York is often referred to as New York State to distinguish it from New York City. New York City, which is geographically the largest city in the state and most populous in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, it is also a destination of choice for many foreign visitors. Both state and city were named for the 17th century Duke of York, James Stuart, future James II and VII of England and Scotland. New York was inhabited by the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Lenape Native American groups at the time Dutch and French nationals moved into the region in the early 17th century. In 1609, the region was first claimed by Henry Hudson for the Dutch, and built Fort Orange near the site of the present-day capital of Albany in 1614. The Dutch eventually settled the Albany, Hudson River Valley, and Manhattan areas, establishing the colony of New Netherland. The British took over the colony by annexation in 1664. The borders of the British colony, the Province of New York, were roughly similar to those of the present-day state. About one third of all of the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. New York became an independent state on July 9, 1776, and enacted its constitution in 1777. The state ratified the United States Constitution on July 26, 1788 to become the 11th state. From Wikipedia under the

Only a small portion of state-run lottery profits goes to winners and education. After expenses, the balance goes for 'special interests' and the state says that they don't have to reveal what a 'special interest' is. They should first get the corruption out.

Will i be disappointed with the London nightlife compared to New York? Also are the prices similar? I am planning to go with a few of my friends for 10 days i hope that's enough. The accent is quite sexy even though i have no idea what they are saying half of the time =) Asked by Vlad s - Wed May 13 19:27:41 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. The London nightlife is a lot younger than the NYC one (mainly because the drinking age is 18 in London). Also, clubs here cater to every walk of life. There are tons of gay bars in Soho, upscale bars in Mayfair and the more affordable but still chic places in Leicester square. Price wise, a vodka tonic can be as little as 2 at the Soho Bar to 9 at The Penthouse. So it all really depends on where you go. You ll have a blast here! Just don t forget your ID (they don t accept anything other than a passport or drivers license here).
