The Leading Global City

Isn't New York City the leading global city? Wait...why is it called The Big Apple? And for those who don't know...here's the aswer: it was named after the poor street vendors, selling apples during the Depression. And despite all the traffic jams and noises, New York City is still a great city! Manhattan's avenues are quite at night... illuminated by those skyscrapers! See the Brooklyn Bridge cross the East river, such wonders are The Whitestone, the Throgs Neck, the Washington and the Manhattan Bridges! Yes, Queens is the melting part of the world; where would you find such a diversity? Entered in Brian Strand's contest, " Sonnet Me "
