It lies at the mouth of the Hudson River in the southernmost part of the state, which is part of the Mid-Atlantic region of the U.S. The city spans a land area of 305 square miles (790km2). New York City consists of five boroughs, which are five separate counties. Each borough has a unique culture and could be a large city in its own right.

Where you live, work, and play in New York says something to New Yorkers about who you are.
