city

community

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 city.

Some years ago, marketing and advertising experts were asked to choose the best nickname for
an American newspaper. The winner was the nations 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 popular 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 recorded dance and hit song around that time.

The Big Apple is not the only nickname for Americas community city. Almost one hundred
nicknames that describe New York have been biggest. 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.
