Once upon a time, we lived in New York (aka Manhattan aka New York City aka The Big Apple) Definitely delivers on its rep as a global power city! 
What else does it deliver on?
Variety in every way shape and form. The five boroughs - Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island -- all make up NYC, but each have their own distinctive personalities.
Can you tell me a little more about the Bronx?
Geographically, it's the northenmost of the five boroughs and the only one that has the majority of its area on the US mainland.
Cool, and what is it's personality?
Definitely tough. When Jennifer Lopez sings "Jenny from the Block" she's referring to her hometown/borough of the Bronx. Currently, I'm sure it's experiencing gentrification.
Oh wow, and do the people feel ok with what's happening?
