The largest city in New England, Boston is considered the economic and cultural center of the entire New England region. The city, which had an estimated population of 590,763 in 2006, lies at the center of the Cambridge–Boston-Quincy metropolitan area—the 11th-largest metropolitan area (5th largest CSA) in the U.S., with a population of 4.4 million. Residents of Boston are referred to as Bostonians.

波士頓（英語：Boston）是美國麻薩諸塞州的首府和最大城市，也是新英格蘭地區的最大城市。該市位於美國東北部大西洋沿岸，創建於1630年，是美國最古老、最有文化價值的城市之一。波士頓是美國革命期間一些重要事件的發生地點，曾經是一個重要的航運港口和製造業中心。今天，該市是高等教育和醫療保健的中心，它的經濟基礎是科研、金融與技術—特別是生物工程，並被認為是一個全球性城市或世界性城市。

Washington, D.C., (pronounced /ˈwɒʃɪŋtən ˌdiːˈsiː/) is the capital of the United States. It is coterminous with the District of Columbia (abbreviated as "D.C."). The city and the district are located on the banks of the Potomac River and bordered by Virginia to the southwest and Maryland to the northwest, northeast and southeast. The city was planned and developed in the late 18th century to serve as the permanent national capital; the federal district was formed to keep the national capital distinct from the states.

華盛頓哥倫比亞特區（英語：Washington, D.C.）是美國的首都，同時是聯邦區域。英文名稱的兩部分反映其雙重身份，Washington（華盛頓市）是作為首都的名稱，而D.C.則為「District of Columbia」（哥倫比亞特區）的縮寫，是聯邦直接管轄的區域。美國華裔又俗稱華府。

The Washington Monument is a large, tall, white-colored obelisk near the west end of the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential Memorial constructed to commemorate George Washington. The monument is among the world's tallest structures and is the world's tallest obelisk, standing 555 feet 5⅛ inches (169.29 m) in height and made of marble, granite, and sandstone. It was designed by Robert Mills, an architect of the 1840s. The actual construction of the monument began in 1848 but was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after the architect's death. This hiatus in construction was because of a lack of funds and the intervention of the American Civil War. A difference in shading of the marble, visible approximately 150 feet (45 m) up, clearly delineates the initial construction from its resumption in 1876.

華盛頓紀念碑（Washington Monument），是美國華府的地標，為紀念美國總統喬治·華盛頓而建造，石碑建築物的內部中空，是世界最高的石製建築，原本米爾斯的最初設計是在底部有開國英雄柱廊圍繞著華盛頓紀念碑，但在美國工兵處陸軍上校凱西被託付重新設計地基與塔身之後，他放棄了柱廊的構想，專注於方尖碑的建造，並將地基挖深、以古埃及的比例重新設計主塔。

The Lincoln Memorial is located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It is a United States Presidential memorial built to honor the 16th president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln. The architect was Henry Bacon, the sculptor was Daniel Chester French, and the painter of the interior murals was Jules Guerin.

林肯紀念堂（Lincoln Memorial），為紀念美國總統林肯而設立的紀念堂，位於華盛頓特區國家廣場（National Mall）西側，阿靈頓紀念大橋（Arlington Memorial Bridge）引道前，與國會和華盛頓紀念碑成一直線。在紀念堂和華盛頓紀念碑之間，有兩座一共2，292尺長的倒映池。在林肯紀念堂附近還有越戰紀念碑，韓戰紀念碑，和二戰紀念碑。林肯紀念堂由美國國家園林局（National Park Service）管理，常年免費對外開放（早上8：00至深夜，12月25日休館）。

Fifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City. Lined with expensive park-view real estate and historical mansions, it is a symbol of wealthy New York. Between 34th Street and 59th Street, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world, on par with Oxford Street in London, the Champs-Élysées in Paris and Via Montenapoleone in Milan.

第五大道，是美國紐約市曼哈頓一條重要的南北向幹道，南起華盛頓廣場公園，北抵第138街。由於第五大道位於曼哈頓島的中心地帶，因此曼哈頓島上東西走向的街道有時會以這條街道為界而加以東西的稱呼。（例如第五大道以西的十街，就稱為西十街）。第五大道上景點眾多，由南至北有帝國大廈、紐約公共圖書館、洛克菲勒中心、聖帕特裡克教堂以及中央公園等。

It is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with Paris, London, and Tokyo lease prices: the "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's second most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis after London's Sloane Street.

此外，由於中央公園附近有大都會博物館、惠特尼美術館、古根哈姆美術館、庫珀·休伊特設計博物館等著名的美術博物館等，因此被稱為「藝術館大道」（Museum Mile）。在60街到34街之間的第五大道，則被稱為「夢之街」，因為這裡聚集了許多著名的品牌商店，是高級購物場所。據英國一家諮詢公司對全球45個國家所做的年度調查顯示，第五大道仍是全球租金最貴的零售業場所。第五大道商鋪的年租金可超過每平方英尺1000美元（1平方米=10.764平方英尺）。

Fifth Avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, along the eastern side of Central Park, through the Upper East Side and Harlem, where it terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the Madison Avenue Bridge.

Fifth Avenue is the dividing line for streets in Manhattan. It separates East Fifty-ninth Street from West Fifty-ninth Street. As the zero-numbering point for its street addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, with 1 East Fifty-ninth Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 East Fifty-ninth Street located three blocks to the east of it.

Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is a 16.3-acre (61,000 m²) complex of buildings in New York City which serves as home for 12 arts organizations: Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Film Society of Lincoln Center, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Juilliard School, Lincoln Center Theater, Metropolitan Opera, New York City Ballet, New York City Opera, New York Philharmonic, New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, School of American Ballet, and Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc..

林肯中心（Lincoln Center），全名為林肯表演藝術中心（Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts），是位於美國紐約市佔地 61,000 m² 的綜合藝術表演中心，總共有12個表演團體以此為駐紮地。林肯中心建於1960年代羅伯·摩斯所主導的都市更新（urban renewal）計劃時期，在約翰·洛克菲勒三世的資助下開始興建。它是美國境內第一個將主要的文藝機構集中於一地的表演中心，是全世界最大的藝術會場，總共可以同時容納 18,000 位觀眾，共耗資1億6千8百萬美金。座落於曼哈頓上西城的哥倫布、阿姆斯特丹大道及西第62、66大街的交界處。除了主建築外，林肯中心的設施也不斷地向外擴充。例如於2004年，在距林肯中心南方數條街的時代華納中心專供爵士樂表演的林肯中心爵士樂社（Jazz at Lincoln Center）就新設立了弗雷德里克·羅斯廳（Frederick P. Rose Hall）。

Central Park is a large public, urban park (843 acres, 3.41 km², 1.32 mi²; a rectangle 2.6 statute miles by 0.5 statute mile, or 4.1 km × 830 m) in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. With about twenty-five million visitors annually, Central Park is the most visited city park in The United States, and its appearance in many movies and television shows has made it famous.

中央公園（Central Park）是美國紐約市曼哈頓區大型的都市公園 (843英畝或3.41平方公里；長4公里、寬800公尺)，是常居於狹小單元的當地居民的一方綠洲。由於經常出現在電影和電視劇中，令它成為世界上最有名的城市公園。

公園北面為中央公園北街 (公園以西稱大教堂大道，以東稱110街), 東面為第五大道，南面是哥倫布圓形地及中央公園南街 (第五大街道以東稱59街), 西面為中央公園西街 (哥倫布圓形地以南稱第八大道)。公園由後來開拓布魯克林Prospect Park的Frederick Law Olmsted和Calvert Vaux設計。看似天然的公園，其景觀實際上經過精心營造：內有數個人工湖、漫長的步行徑、兩個滑冰場、一個野生動物保護區、多處草地供各種體育愛好者使用，以及兒童遊樂場。由於吸引到候鳥前來，這裡也是觀鳥的好去處。長10公里的環園道路深受慢跑者、騎自行車者以及滾軸溜冰喜愛，尤其是在週末，以及晚上七時後禁止汽車通行的時候。

Wall Street is a street in lower Manhattan island, New York City, USA. It runs east from Broadway downhill to South Street on the East River, through the historical center of the Financial District. Wall Street was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange, over time Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood. Wall Street is also shorthand (or a metonym) for "influential financial interests" in the U.S. as well as for the financial industry in the New York City area.

華爾街（Wall Street）是一條位於美國紐約市下曼哈頓的狹窄街道。東起百老匯，向西一路延伸至東河旁的南街，橫跨紐約曼哈頓的金融中心。今日，「華爾街」一詞已超越這條街道本身，成為附近區域的代稱，同時也可以借指對整個美國經濟具有影響力的金融市場和金融機構。

The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) is an art museum located in Midtown Manhattan in New York City, USA, on 53rd Street, between Fifth and Sixth Avenues. It has been singularly important in developing and collecting modernist art, and is often identified as the most influential museum of modern art in the world. The museum's collection offers an unparalleled overview of modern and contemporary art, including works of architecture and design, drawings, painting, sculpture, photography, prints, illustrated books, film, and electronic media.

現代藝術博物館（Museum of Modern Art）是一所在紐約市的曼哈頓中城的博物館，也是世界上最傑出的現代藝術收藏之一；常簡稱為MoMA。位於曼哈頓第53街﹙在第五和第六大道之間﹚，此博物館經常與大都會博物館相提並論，雖館藏少於前者，但在現代藝術的領域裡，該館擁有較多重要的收藏。

Manhattan is an island borough of New York City, New York, USA, coterminous with New York County. With a 2006 population of 1,611,581 living in a land area of 22.96 square miles (59.47 km²), it is the most densely populated county in the United States at 66,940 residents per square mile (25,846/km²). It is also the second wealthiest county in the United States. The borough consists of Manhattan Island, Roosevelt Island, Randalls Island, almost 1/10th of Ellis Island, the above-water portion of Liberty Island, several much smaller islands, and a small section on the mainland of New York State adjacent to the Bronx.

Manhattan is a major commercial, financial, and cultural center of the United States and, to some extent, the world. Most major radio, television, and telecommunications companies in the United States are based here, as well as many news, magazine, book, and other media publishers. Manhattan has many famous landmarks, tourist attractions, museums, and universities. It is also home to the headquarters of the United Nations. Manhattan has the largest central business district in the United States, is the site of both the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ, and is the home to the largest number of corporate headquarters in the nation. It is indisputably the center of New York City and the New York metropolitan region, holding the seat of city government, and the largest fraction of employment, business, and recreational activities.

曼哈頓（Manhattan）是美國東部哈德遜河下游的一座島嶼，亦為紐約市市中心所在。曼哈頓區與紐約郡（New York County）邊界線相同，包括曼哈頓島、一些其他小島和陸地的一部分。2000年，紐約郡人口為153萬7195人；面積上來說此郡是紐約州最小的郡。但此區是紐約市乃至全美國、全世界最繁華的地方之一，極多影視文藝作品的背景選在這裡。

紐約市是由五個區（boroughs）組成，然而從另一個行政角度劃分的話，市下又分五個郡（和五個區的邊界分別相同），這點和美國其他地方「郡大於市」的情況不同：

紐約郡（New York County）－－曼哈頓區
布朗克斯郡（Bronx County）－－布朗克斯區（The Bronx）
國王郡（Kings County）－－布魯克林區（Brooklyn）
皇后郡（Queens County）－－皇后區（Queens）
瑞奇蒙郡（Richmond County）－－史泰登島（Staten Island）

紐約郡和曼哈頓區的邊界相同，為紐約市的下屬，此郡下沒有進一步的政治區域劃分。面積包括整個曼哈頓島(Manhattan Island)，被東河（East River）、哈林河（Harlem River）與哈德遜河（Hudson River）環繞。也包括一些小島，如羅斯福島（Roosevelt Island，以前叫做「Welfare島」，再之前叫做「Blackwell島」）、吳丹島（U Thant Island，官方名字為「Belmont島」）以及北美大陸的一小部分（Marble Hill），和布朗克斯區接壤。Marble Hill原來是曼哈頓島的一部分，不過在19世紀末期，為了改善哈林河航運修建了哈林運河，將這個地區與曼哈頓島分離開來。最後，原來在這部分和布朗克斯之間的渠道也被填平，使其和大陸相連。

曼哈頓島長21.5千米，最寬處為3.7千米。美國人口調查局數據表明，紐約郡（即曼哈頓區）總面積為87.5平方千米：59.5平方千米為土地，28.0平方千米為水域；水域佔全部面積的32.01%。

曼哈頓西鄰新澤西州，東北方是布朗克斯區，東面和南面的布魯克林區和皇后區均位於長島；它通過橋梁和隧道等與這些地方相連。曼哈頓和史泰登島之間唯一的直接連接是經由渡輪完成。
