All three of our team members have lived in New York City for over five years and are proud of calling ourselves New Yorkers. Our lives in New York City have been plagued with many problems at first, and everytime it was too hard to get the right information that we needed. Our blog will be solving a major problem for everyone who would be visiting or staying in New York City. Our blog project “We Are NewYork” is an online info space for people sharing their personal experiences in New York City. We all arrived in New York City with countless hopes and dreams. Many people from different backgrounds are attracted to New York City, also known as “The Big Apple”, for multiple reasons but there is always a saying in NYC “If You Can Make It Here, You Can Make It Anywhere”. NYC attracts potential best of the best from everywhere and show them opportunities. According to Wikipedia, New York has the largest metropolitan area in the world by urban landmass and one of the world’s most populous megacities, with an estimated 19,979,477 people in its 2018 Metropolitan Statistical Area and 22,679,948 residents in its Combined Statistical Area. New York City has been described as the cultural, financial, and media capital of the world, and exerts a significant impact upon commerce, entertainment, research, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, fashion, and sports. The city’s fast pace has inspired the term New York minute. New York City is also one of the most diverse cities across the world and our blog “We Are NewYork” aims to provide a space where everyone can share and review what most New Yorkers go through; further helping them to adapt to New York City and find all the information they need to become a New Yorker.
