The Individual Buroughs Of The NYC Traffic Report

By Iva Cannon


The city of New York is divided into five boroughs, each of which also forms a county of a different name. The five boroughs are the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn. No matter what time of day, looking at the NYC traffic report will show congestion where three of the boroughs intersect in the center of the city: Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan.

The Big Apple is the gateway through which newcomers to the east must pass to become legal immigrants to the USA. Everybody knows about New York; it is an A++ global power city, which means it is universally considered to play an important role in the global economy. The only other A++ city is London, England.

Of all five boroughs, Brooklyn is the most populous with 2.6 million people. It is the second largest in terms of geographical area, Queens is the biggest. It shares the same boundaries as Kings County. Brooklyn is connected to the Borough of Manhattan by the Brooklyn Bridge, which was completed in 1883. Brooklyn has been an entity in New York for more than 350 years.

Queens is the second-largest of the five New York City boroughs, both in terms of land area and population (2.3 million). The corresponding county is also called Queens. Famous people who have come from Queens include actresses Mae West and Lucy Liu, tennis legend John McEnroe, author Jack Kerouac, author of On the Road, Lonesome Traveler and Big Sur, and entrepreneur Donald Trump.

The most densely populated of the five New York boroughs, Manhattan crams 1.6 million people into a land area of 23 square miles. Technically, Manhattan is an island, which it shares with New Rochelle, White Plains and other upstate towns. Manhattan is home to Central Park, immortalized in the television comedy, Friends, which lasted for ten series. The large neighborhood of Harlem is also in Manhattan. Manhattan is in New York County.

The Bronx is the northernmost of New York City's five boroughs. It is bisected by the Bronx River into a hilly section on the west side of the river and a flatter section on the east bank. The Bronx also happens to be the only one of the 5 boroughs that is located completely on the mainland. The Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden are located here.

The Bronx cheer is a sound like blowing raspberries and is believed to have first uttered by fans of the New York Yankees. Numerous song titles mention the Bronx, specifically, Cousin in the Bronx, by the Kaiser Chiefs; Alfie from the Bronx by the Toy Dolls; and Bronx Bombers by Grandmaster Flash.

Staten Island is the southernmost of the boroughs. The population here is just under half a million. Among the attractions located here are the Staten Island Ferry, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and Snug Harbor Cultural Center. Staten Island has been immortalized in films like the Godfather, Goodfellas, Big Daddy and Analyze This.
