1.What do people call New York?
The Big Apple.
The name of The Big Apple is believed to have appeared in 1909. A man named Martin Wayfarer criticized the disproportional amount of the nation's money New York City received annually. He compared the country's economy to a tree with many roots, but the "big apple" (New York City) received the bulk of the "sap." It's very possible that residents of New York City may have embraced that criticism as a source of civic pride. Living in the city meant enjoying the benefits of a robust economy.
