New York City Council: The New York City Council is the city’s legislative body, responsible for local laws, budgets, and oversight. It legislates across all five boroughs and checks the mayor’s administration.
Wall Street: Wall Street is a street in Lower Manhattan associated with New York’s financial district and securities industry. It anchors the city’s role in global finance.

Brooklyn: Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, occupying the western end of Long Island. Its neighborhoods and waterfront show the city beyond Manhattan’s business core.
New Amsterdam: New Amsterdam was the Dutch colonial settlement on Manhattan that became New York after England took control in 1664. It was the settlement from which the modern city developed.
Mayor of New York City: The mayor of New York City is the city’s chief executive, directing municipal agencies and proposing the annual budget. The office coordinates citywide services and executive policy.
Broadway theatre: Broadway theatre is a commercial theatre tradition centered on large professional venues in Manhattan’s Theater District and Lincoln Center. Its productions make the city a major center of live performance.
