Nicknames for New York
Use the words in the box to complete the text below. Write the missing words in the space.
Describe City
Newspaper Name
Biggest Community
Recorded Visitor
Choose Cities
Nicknames Popular
Nicknames are used to describe people, places or things. Many American cities have
nicknames. They can help create identities, build unity and help people feel a sense of pride
in their community.
Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the best nickname
for an American city. The winner was the nation’s biggest city, New York. The nickname
they chose was “The Big Apple”.
Where did the nickname “Big Apple” originally come from? In the nineteen seventies, New
York suffered from image problems. The number of visitors was falling. A campaign was
launched to give the city a new image and a new nickname. The New York board chose the
nickname “The Big Apple”
It was not the first time the nickname had been used to describe the city. A journalist for a
New York newspaper had used the name “The Big Apple” to describe New York in the
nineteen twenties.
The Big Apple was also the name of a night club in the Harlem area of New York City in the
nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a popular dance and hit song around that time.
“The Big Apple” is not the only nickname for America’s biggest city. Almost one hundred
nicknames that describe New York have been recorded.
Some of the best known nicknames for New York are “The Capital of the World”, “Empire
City”, “Gotham”, “The City So Nice They Named it Twice” and “The City That Never
Sleeps.”
