New York City has played a significant role in shaping history and lifestyle in the United States and worldwide. New York City's influence encompasses the state of the global economy, fashion, politics, art and entertainment, and basically, who and what's in or out.
The power that New York City has in the economy can be seen in the global investors who can be witnessed daily with their eyes fixated on the NYSE, NASDAQ, and AMEX. Wall Street is a name almost every global investor knows. If the markets on Wall Street have a bad day, the global markets will react.
The power of the New York City influence is also seen in the world of fashion. For the year 2008, New York City, once again, was voted as the most influential city in the fashion world. Along with fashion, arts, media, and entertainment are all highly influenced by what goes on in New York City. The success of a movie in New York City can mean the success of a soundtrack and a new fashion that could soon be recognized world-wide.
The political agenda is not at all shielded from the power of the NYC influence. Politicians fight hard for favor in NYC because they have to deal with at least 150 different nationalities all in one city. It is also the home of the United Nations, and most countries have a consulate in NYC. It is also due to this highly diversified population that NYC provides one of the strongest influences on music, entertainment and the arts. Even food and drink are influenced by New York City. Face it, from art to politics, money to fashion, medicine to music, if you can make it in New York City, you can make it anywhere.
