The USA's greatest city, and a sight recognisable to people around the world. Its skyscrapers were the first thing seen by millions of immigrants entering America from Eastern Europe. It also has three famous bridges, none of which are as good as Old Yorkshire's one of course.

New York is home to numerous AH.commers, including Leo Caesius, and many more work there, including Grimm Reaper. The neighbouring state of New Jersey appears to be used as a commuting zone. Upstate New York is a land alien and unknown to non-Americans at least, and may well still be populated by Iroquois for all we know.

New York produces the rudest people in the universe, and even upper-middle-class Englishmen doff their caps to the calculated bluntness of the New Yorker. It also produces excellent cheesecakes, and is a magnet for every Hollywood asteroid impact/tsunami/alien invasion. It may be something to do with all those cheesecakes, in fact.
