I was in New York for a bit. Have you ever lived there?
1_Wizard
No, but I do know that it is the most populous city in the entire US.

Is it the financial hub of the US?
1_Wizard
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?
1_Wizard
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?
1_Wizard
Well that was a gift from the French. The city was consolidated from five boroughs back in 1898 though.
