I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep

The line "I want to wake up in the city that doesn't sleep" is from the famous song "New York, New York," which was first sung by Liza Minelli in the movie "New York, New York".

New York is the most populous city in the United States and the center of the New York Metropolitan Area, one of the most populous urban agglomerations in the world.The city is referred to as New York City or the City of New York to distinguish it from the State of New York, of which it is a part. Here are some interesting facts about the New York:


1. New York City has 4,000 street food vendors.
2. The average temperature of New York City’s pavement on a hot summer day is 150 degrees.
3. 100 million Chinese food cartons are used annually in New York City.
4. Gennaro Lombardi opened the first US pizzeria in NYC in 1895.
5. Manhattan’s Chinatown is the largest Chinese enclave in the Western Hemisphere.
6. New York City was was briefly the US capital from 1789 to 1790 and was the site of the inauguration of George Washington as President on April 30, 1789.
7. The state fruit is the apple.
8. New Yorkers travel an average of 40 minutes to work each day.
9. More than 47 percent of New York City’s residents over the age of 5 speak a language other than English at home.
10. The Federal Reserve Bank on New York’s Wall Street contains vaults that are located 80 feet beneath the bank and hold about 25 percent of the world’s gold bullion.
