When someone mentions “New York,” most people immediately think of New York City. However, there’s a whole lot more to the “Empire State” than just the famous city boasting its name. New York State is located in the Northeastern part of the United States and borders six other states as well as Canada. It’s a state famous for natural wonders like Niagara Falls and the largest National Park in the U.S., historical treasures such as the Statue of Liberty, and a bustling financial market.
Almost 20 million people call New York State their home. Of those people, more than 8 million live in New York City, making it the most populous city in the United States. Four out of every 10 people were born abroad, which means New York offers a melting pot of culture and diversity. The landscape varies greatly across the state – from the mountains of the Adirondacks and Catskills, to the clusters of skyscrapers in New York City, to the cascading waters at one of the world’s most famous waterfalls. Top industries in New York include financial services, healthcare, professional and technical services, retail, manufacturing, and education.
New York has four distinct seasons, and although spring, summer, and fall can be lovely, if you live in New York state, you’d better stock up on sweaters, as the winters can be extremely cold, especially with the “lake effect” snow in many parts of the state. New York’s climate makes it ideal for growing certain kinds of grapes, and the state is the third largest wine-producing region in America.
Wherever your interests lie – hiking the natural parks, sipping wine at one of the many vineyards, or taking in a Broadway play in New York City, the state of New York offers something for everyone.
