Watch te video where an American woman imitates the five different accents of the five boroughs of New York: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan. :)

The Bronx

• is the home of the New York Yankees. The original Yankee Stadium was opened in 1923.

• Little Italy (Arthur Avenue) is the best place for bread, pasta, meat, pastries, espresso machines and the only place to buy Italian sausage.

Brooklyn

• The Brooklyn Bridge was the largest suspension bridge in the world when it was built (in the late 1800s)

• Coney Island is a peninsula and beach on the Atlantic Ocean in southern Brooklyn and is famous for Nathan's Famous original hot dogs, the rides at the pier and baseball

Staten Island

• Fort Wadsworth once protected America's most important city and is located at the entrance to New York Harbor.

Queens

• You can't visit Queens without attending a Mets game at Citi Field!

• The Bohemian Hall & Beer Garden is situated in a field that's always packed with musicians, card-players, and locals. Here you can drink ice-cold beer and eat Czech food and barbecue, and local snacks.

Manhattan

• Although the Empire State Building is no longer the tallest skyscraper in the world, it is a popular stop for visitors in the City. It has an exterior observatory on the 86th store from which you can see up to 80 miles (approximately 128 km) away on a clear day.
  
  
  

• Central Park is the most visited urban park in the US. It is filled with a broad variety of activities. You can walk, jog, run or cycle in spring, summer and autumn (fall) or ice-skate in winter. You can have your own wedding in the park or organise a special event.

• When in NY you MUST visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) - and see the world! It is one of the world's largest museums and presents the best of human creativity from around the globe.
