State description

New York is perhaps the most famous state in America. For millions of emigrants who have come to America since the 80s of the 19th century, the Statue of Liberty, crowning the Island of Liberty in New York City, symbolized America itself and their American dream of freedom, the opportunity to achieve a better, rich and complete life for themselves and their families.

New York City is the largest traffic artery not only for the state, but for the United States as a whole. There are three largest airports in New York and its suburbs: J. Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark.

The state of New York is located in the northeastern United States on the Atlantic coast, near the border with Canada. Its area is 141,000 square km: New York is the largest of the group of the Mid-Atlantic states. This is not only the mainland of North America, the state includes Long Island. The administrative center of the state is the city of Albany, but the state is associated with the largest city not only in the vicinity, but also one of the greatest metropolitan areas in the world – the city of New York – the financial center of the United States.
