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 name 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 visitor 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 popular of a night club in the Harlem area of New York
City in the nineteen thirties, as well as the name of a recorded 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 chose. 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.”
