NEW YORK RECOMMENDATIONS

New York, constituent state of the United States of America, one of the 13 original colonies and states. Until the 1960s New York was the country’s leading state in nearly all population, cultural, and economic indexes. Its displacement by California beginning in the middle of that decade was caused by the enormous growth rate that has persisted on the West Coast rather than by a large decline in New York itself.

New York is situated across a region of contrast from the Atlantic shores of Long Island and the skyscrapers of Manhattan through the rivers, mountains, and lakes of upstate New York to the plains of the Great Lakes region. New York state is inextricably linked with New York City in many people’s minds, the state has a wide range of geographic and climatic conditions.
