There is nothing like being from New York. From Long Island to Rochester, this state is certainly one of a kind. Here is why New York is the absolute best.

1. The five boroughs of New York City.

From Long Island to Saint Lawrence and everywhere in between, New York is very diverse. You have the people that live in Manhattan who walk 100 mph while the people upstate enjoy farming. There is simply nothing like it.

2. The sports teams

There is nothing like a New York sports team being successful. We have the Yankees winning 27 World championships and the Knicks being one of the most stories franchises in NBA history. When a team from New York is playing well, it makes things that much more exciting.

3. The food.

There aren't many places like New York. There are so many different types of people. You have people in Manhattan who move 100 mph because that's just how city life is. Then you have people who live upstate who love nature and farming. It truly makes New York unique.

5. The various ways of getting around.

I've heard from many people who go to New York City, that they can't wait to take the subway for the first time. If you can't figure out the subway system, than New YorkCity is filled with taxis to help you get around!

6. Broadway

Going to see a play on Broadway is always a good time. Whether it is "Mamma Mia," "Wicked" or any of the other cool plays, you surely won't be disappointed. They acting is amazing and will leave you wanting more.

7. You get to say you are from the same state as many famous people.

Robert De Niro, Eddie Murphy, Anne Hathaway, Donald Trump, Adam Sandler, Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z...The list goes on and on. New York is home to many talented and special people.

If you're from any part of New York, than you are a lucky person. If you one day plan on visiting New York, be sure to look at all the various things that make New York so great.
