How Well Do You Know New York?

The Virgin Megastore in Union Square [closed in 2009](http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/15/arts/music/15virgin.html?_r=0).

The "S" runs in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens.

New York has the [largest population](http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/census/pop_facts.shtml) of Puerto Ricans in the world. It also has the largest Chinese population of any city outside of Asia and the largest number of Dominicans of any other city in the world besides Santo Domingo.

Per [_New York Magazine_](http://nymag.com/nymetro/news/features/n_10109/): "The plan has been on the drawing board since the year Babe Ruth hit his first home run for the Yankees—that is to say, since 1920, when it was envisioned as part of a massive subway expansion that brought us the IND, the trains that now run under Sixth and Eighth avenues."

In 1904, Mayor George B. McClellan [changed the name](http://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/100-years-ago-an-intersection-s-new-name-times-square.html) of Longacre Square, which had been named after London's carriage district, to Times Square.

Sunset Park is [Brooklyn's first Chinatown](http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/16/nyregion/influx-of-chinese-immigrants-is-reshaping-large-parts-of-brooklyn.html), but there's also a Chinatown in Bensonhurst and "satellite" Chinatowns in Bay Ridge, Borough Park, Coney Island, Dyker Heights, Gravesend, Homecrest and Marine Park.

No Sbarro [yet](http://www.grandcentralterminal.com/dining), sorry mall meatball enthusiasts.

According to Coney Island's [official website](http://www.coneyisland.com/programs/mermaid-parade), The Mermaid Parade was "founded in 1983 with 3 goals: it brings mythology to life for local residents who live on streets named Mermaid and Neptune; it creates self-esteem in a district that is often disregarded as 'entertainment'; and it lets artistic New Yorkers find self-expression in public."

The [Unisphere](http://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/flushing-meadows-corona-park/highlights/12761) was built for the New York World's Fair of 1964-65 and resides in Flushing Meadows–Corona Park.

Lombardi's opened in 1905 and was [granted](http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2006/02/a_slice_of_heaven_american_pizza_timeline.html), per Serious Eats, the _nation's_ first license to sell pizza.

Tsk tsk, you have a lot to learn out-of-towner. Luckily there’s a lot of New York to love, so studying up will be fun. Quick tip: it’s pronounced House-ton. ;)

New York Rookie

You’ve clearly been to the city that never sleeps a few times. There’s still plenty to learn before you truly earn your New Yorker bonafides, but you’re definitely on the right track!

New York Dabbler

You’re a proper New Yorker. Chances are you have strong opinions about Famous Ray’s vs. Original Ray’s, you’ve had a beer on the Staten Island Ferry, and you get fed up when people walk slowly on the sidewalk.

New York Expert

You _are_ New York. You know every good bagel spot, you’d recognize Dr. Zizmor anywhere, and you are unflinchingly loyal to the city that never sleeps. We all bow down before a true New Yorker.
