Question 1 of 10
1. For our first stop in our tour of New York City, I tell you to meet me at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. There, we gaze up at a triangular-shaped skyscraper which was named after the neighborhood that it would call home. It was built in 1902, making it 27 years older than its "Uptown" cousin, the Empire State Building. The question is, which borough are we in? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Our next stop through our tour of the five boroughs takes us to Arthur Avenue, an area of the city sometimes referred to by locals as the "real Little Italy". While you munch on a sausage-and-pepper hero, you overhear a tour guide mention that this neighborhood was the birthplace of Dion and the Belmonts and actor Chazz Palminteri. In fact, the tour guide mentions, Palminteri wrote a screenplay to a 1993 film which was loosely based on his experiences growing up in this New York City borough. Which borough is it? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Those delicious sausage-and-peppers heroes left us thirsty, so we hop on the subway and head down to the neighborhood of Williamsburg for a pint of craft beer at a famous local brewery. On our walk from the subway to the brewery, we pass by the defunct Domino Sugar Factory as well as Dime Savings Bank. The question is, what borough are we in? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. Now that our thirst has been quenched, we decide to partake in some of the amazing art that New York City has to offer. We head over to Bedford Avenue, rent a bike, and pedal our way up to Museum Mile. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is our first stop on the Mile. Which borough are we in? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. Being a die-hard sports fan, you beg me to take you to a home game at the iconic Yankee Stadium. There's just one problem: the Yankees are out of town on a West Coast road trip. Undaunted, I suggest that we head to the location of the Yankees' minor league team and catch a few innings there. You agree, and we head downtown to Whitehall Street and board a large yellow-orange ferry in order to get to this borough. Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. What would a trip to New York City be without a little shopping? However, you inform me that you're running low on cash and can't afford the high-priced labels at Saks Fifth Avenue or Bloomingdale's. No worries, since most outer-borough residents do their shopping at budget-friendly malls and independently run local businesses. We head north and find ourselves on a long boulevard that runs all the way from a neighborhood named Long Island City to another neighborhood named Jamaica. In fact, both the boulevard and the mall are named after the borough that houses them. So which borough are we in? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. It's already been a long day, but New York City is the city that never sleeps. It just so happens that our favorite band, No Doubt, is headlining a concert at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which is home to the U.S. Open. We catch the 7 train and exit at Willets Point to go see the show. Which borough are we in? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. It's well past midnight, the perfect time to head over to the sight of a famous bridge that is purported to be haunted by a headless apparition. This ghoulish figure is said to be the ghost of a worker who was decapitated during the construction of the bridge, which eventually opened in 1883. Before mustering up the courage to walk across the bridge at this ungodly hour, you gaze across the East River towards the Manhattan skyline. The question is, which borough are you in? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. It's been an amazing day of sightseeing in NYC, so we decide to part ways and you head back to your hotel to catch some shuteye before the next day's flight. After a short walk through Grand Army Plaza, you head upstairs, settle into your luxury suite, and look out the window, which offers a breathtaking view of the pond at Central Park. Which borough are you in? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. It's almost time for your sight-seeing adventure to come to an end, but not before you hail a taxi and ask the driver to take you to the New York City's only international airport, which was named in honor of the 35th President of the United States of America. The question is, which borough are you headed to? Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. For our first stop in our tour of New York City, I tell you to meet me at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and Broadway. There, we gaze up at a triangular-shaped skyscraper which was named after the neighborhood that it would call home. It was built in 1902, making it 27 years older than its "Uptown" cousin, the Empire State Building. The question is, which borough are we in?

Answer: Manhattan

The Flatiron Building, along with the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, is one of Manhattan's most recognizable skyscrapers. Although it has never been the tallest skyscraper in New York City, it's quite iconic and has been featured in the 1958 movie "Bell, Book, and Candle", as well as the opening credits for "The Late Show with David Letterman".
2. Our next stop through our tour of the five boroughs takes us to Arthur Avenue, an area of the city sometimes referred to by locals as the "real Little Italy". While you munch on a sausage-and-pepper hero, you overhear a tour guide mention that this neighborhood was the birthplace of Dion and the Belmonts and actor Chazz Palminteri. In fact, the tour guide mentions, Palminteri wrote a screenplay to a 1993 film which was loosely based on his experiences growing up in this New York City borough. Which borough is it?

Answer: The Bronx

Although "A Bronx Tale" is set in the Bronx, most of the scenes for the movie were filmed in Astoria, Queens. Arthur Avenue is located just a short walk from one of New York City's most prestigious universities - Fordham University.
3. Those delicious sausage-and-peppers heroes left us thirsty, so we hop on the subway and head down to the neighborhood of Williamsburg for a pint of craft beer at a famous local brewery. On our walk from the subway to the brewery, we pass by the defunct Domino Sugar Factory as well as Dime Savings Bank. The question is, what borough are we in?

Answer: Brooklyn

Brooklyn Brewery was started in 1987, and in 1996 the founders moved into the brewery's Williamsburg location. Although Brooklyn Brewery is arguably the most well-known of the local breweries, the borough of Brooklyn has a rich brewery history. Amongst other beers, both Rheingold and Schaefer were brewed in Brooklyn until the factories were closed in the 1970s.
4. Now that our thirst has been quenched, we decide to partake in some of the amazing art that New York City has to offer. We head over to Bedford Avenue, rent a bike, and pedal our way up to Museum Mile. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is our first stop on the Mile. Which borough are we in?

Answer: Manhattan

As the name implies, Museum Mile is a one-mile stretch along Fifth Avenue. In addition to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum Mile also includes the Jewish Museum, El Museo de Barrio, and the Museum of the City of New York.
5. Being a die-hard sports fan, you beg me to take you to a home game at the iconic Yankee Stadium. There's just one problem: the Yankees are out of town on a West Coast road trip. Undaunted, I suggest that we head to the location of the Yankees' minor league team and catch a few innings there. You agree, and we head downtown to Whitehall Street and board a large yellow-orange ferry in order to get to this borough.

Answer: Staten Island

Travelling to Staten Island from the other four boroughs can present quite a challenge for commuters. Since Staten Island is the only borough not connected to any other borough by way of the subway, most people commute there by taking the Staten Island Ferry from Manhattan or by traveling over the Verrazano Bridge from Brooklyn.
6. What would a trip to New York City be without a little shopping? However, you inform me that you're running low on cash and can't afford the high-priced labels at Saks Fifth Avenue or Bloomingdale's. No worries, since most outer-borough residents do their shopping at budget-friendly malls and independently run local businesses. We head north and find ourselves on a long boulevard that runs all the way from a neighborhood named Long Island City to another neighborhood named Jamaica. In fact, both the boulevard and the mall are named after the borough that houses them. So which borough are we in?

Answer: Queens

The Queens Center Mall is located in Elmhurst Queens, and its front entrance is located on Queens Boulevard. Queens Boulevard stretches over seven miles and runs through the neighborhoods of Long Island City, Sunnyside, Woodside, Elmhurst, Rego Park, Forest Hills, Kew Gardens, Briarwood, and Jamaica.

In the TV show "Entourage", the main character Vincent Chase stars in a fictional movie titled "Queens Boulevard".
7. It's already been a long day, but New York City is the city that never sleeps. It just so happens that our favorite band, No Doubt, is headlining a concert at Arthur Ashe Stadium, which is home to the U.S. Open. We catch the 7 train and exit at Willets Point to go see the show. Which borough are we in?

Answer: Queens

Arthur Ashe Stadium is the largest tennis stadium in the world, and it's also the main stadium in the U.S. Open. Arthur Ashe Stadium is located in close proximity to Citi Field, home of the New York Mets, so the Willets Point stop on the 7 train is the stop that takes commuters to both of these venues.
8. It's well past midnight, the perfect time to head over to the sight of a famous bridge that is purported to be haunted by a headless apparition. This ghoulish figure is said to be the ghost of a worker who was decapitated during the construction of the bridge, which eventually opened in 1883. Before mustering up the courage to walk across the bridge at this ungodly hour, you gaze across the East River towards the Manhattan skyline. The question is, which borough are you in?

Answer: Brooklyn

John Roebling was the designer of the Brooklyn Bridge, and its construction began in January of 1870. During the thirteen years it took to construct the bridge, it's reported that 27 workers lost their lives, including Roebling himself. He succumbed to tetanus, which he contracted after stepping on a piece of rusted metal.
9. It's been an amazing day of sightseeing in NYC, so we decide to part ways and you head back to your hotel to catch some shuteye before the next day's flight. After a short walk through Grand Army Plaza, you head upstairs, settle into your luxury suite, and look out the window, which offers a breathtaking view of the pond at Central Park. Which borough are you in?

Answer: Manhattan

The Plaza Hotel is located at 768 Fifth Avenue. The Plaza Hotel derives its name from Grand Army Plaza, which was dedicated to the Union Army during the American Civil War. Along with the Ritz-Carlton and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, The Plaza Hotel is one of New York City's most luxurious (and expensive) hotels. You don't have to be a guest to check out the Plaza, though, since tours are offered to the public.
10. It's almost time for your sight-seeing adventure to come to an end, but not before you hail a taxi and ask the driver to take you to the New York City's only international airport, which was named in honor of the 35th President of the United States of America. The question is, which borough are you headed to?

Answer: Queens

John F. Kennedy International Airport, usually referred to simply as JFK, is located in the southeastern section of Queens. It was formerly known as Idlewild Airport until it was renamed in 1963, shortly after John F. Kennedy's assassination. The borough of Queens is the home to both of NYC's two major airports. The other airport is LaGuardia Airport, which is located in northern Queens.
