I used to live in New York City, the most populous city in the United States
That's neat, the big apple. How many people live in New York city?
In 2016, the city had 8,537, 673 people
That's huge. There must be so much to do. What was your favorite attraction?
I liked most everything because it is considered the cultureal, financial and media capital of the world for many people
I wonder how old New York City is
I cannot remember but the five boroughs were consolidated into one city in 1898
Wow, even that long ago it was a huge city
Yes. And the city's fast pace defines the term New York minute.  It's great when you are young.  Not so much when you get older.
Huh I never thought about the New York minute but that makes sense. Why is it called big apple?
