I have to disagree with capital of architecture. New York City is no Rome or Barcelona in terms of architecture. And capital of fashion? I think Paris or Milan hold that title.
You forgot: Largest Subway system in the world.......
To be more specific;
The Shanghai Metro is the longest system in passenger route length.[1] The New York City Subway has the most stations and the longest amount of total track, with a total of 842 miles (1,355 km), including non-revenue trackage,
As for this thread. NY is so over-rated, I hardly believe the rest of the world thinks this is the capital of the world.
Only people who live here like to think that.
When I travel to other parts of the world and people ask where I'm from, I still get looks of awe when I say "New York City". (People seem to respond better to that, than when I say "United States".)
HR is indicative of NY being the capital of culture. Same with SoL. Our beloved mayor is better than anyone else's! He is a businessman who knows what he's doing, unlike the morons who get elected for pandering/social issues/demagoguery/etc.
I dont know if Id call you mayor the best. Bloomberg is alright and has done some good things, but I wouldn't call him amazing.
I always feature the fact that I was born in Manhattan. Says I am among the worldly few...
Then again I love to point out that only the pompous and those who can't help themselves actually live there.
Sparta TN, Gary IN and NY,NY. Three places it is better to be from than live there.
I am sure there are a lot of people who believe that NY is the capital of the world...but virtually all live in New York, Queens, Kings, Bronx and Richmond Counties.
