New York has two nicknames. One is Gotham, which was first used by Washington Irving in his work and is also the home of Batman. The other is Big Apple. The horse racing columns in the 1920s once referred to New York as the Big Apple to show its prominence in the horse racing industry. A campaign by the New York City Tourist Board brought the “Big Apple” back into popular culture, and the nickname is still popular today. The panorama of New York City in front of you is taken from the top of the Empire State Building. Empire State Building is New York's iconic cityscape and one of America's most-sought-after buildings, appearing in more than 250 movies.
The Times Square in New York City, a commercial intersection, is dubbed as the “Intersection of the World”. Due to its high popularity, many famous cities in the world have shopping malls or buildings named Times Square, such as the Times Square in Causeway Bay and the Times Square in Tuen Mun in Hong Kong. The southernmost financial district of New York, led by Wall Street, is known as the financial center of the world, and the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street is the exchange with the largest trading volume in the world.
