I was in New York for a bit. Have you ever lived there?
No, but I do know that it is the most populous city in the entire US.
Is it the financial hub of the US?
Pretty much, as it is the home to everything from commerce to entertainment to the stock market.
Do you know what New York was named after?
Not really, but I could assume it would be some derivative of York. Though New York City is the home to the United Nations HQ.
Oh yeah, I think I saw the UN building in a movie. What about the statue of liberty, why was it built?
Well that was a gift from the French. The city was consolidated from five boroughs back in 1898 though.
