New york is a very big and populated state in U.S.A. The most interesting thing in NY is New York City (NYC). This city isn’t only Manhattan, but consists of, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. Did you know Manhattan was the smallest out of the 5 boroughs, but is the most densely populated. NYC consists of more , than 8 million people. New York has many tags, such as “The city that never sleeps.” The most famous of these tags are “Big Apple.”

New York City is the birthplace of many cultures, such as the Harlem Renaissance. If you come to NYC you can see the many attractions. One particular attraction that many people around the globe come for is seeing the “Empire State Building.” Empire State Building is like a monument of NYC and you can see everything in NY from the top.

Another great attraction is the Statue Of Liberty. Did you know the Statue of Liberty is made out of copper and slowly by the years turned green. You can come to the many museums in NYC, but the best in my opinion is Metropolitan Mesuem of Art. It is one of the biggest museum in the world. That’s all to explain about NY, if you want to learn more come visit.

Niagara Falls is the border line between Canada and the United States. The Horseshoe Fall which is in canada, and the American Fall, which is located in America.

The Horseshoe fall is 173 feet (53 meters), and the American Fall is 70 fee (20 meters). The Horseshoe fall is overall, larger in width and height. Niagara falls isnt only a tourism hotspot, people use the enormous energy of the falls to make power.

The first known effort to harness the waters was in 1759, when Daniel Joncaire built a small canal above the Falls to power his sawmill. Augustus and Peter Porter purchased this area and all of American Falls in 1805 from the New York state government, and enlarged the original canal to provide hydraulic power for their gristmill and tannery.

In 1853, the Niagara Falls Hydraulic Power and Mining Company was chartered, which eventually constructed the canals which would be used to generate electricity. In 1881, under the leadership of Jacob Schoellkopf, enough power was produced to send direct current to illuminate both the Falls themselves and nearby Niagara Falls village.
