New York City: "The Big Apple" " This nickname traces its roots back to the 1920s. Horse racing writer John J. Fitz Gerald first coined the term while describing the lucrative "apples" or prizes at New York racetracks.

The article from MSN explores the quirky and often surprising origins of nicknames for various U.S. cities. It discusses how these monikers often reflect historical events, local culture, or unique characteristics of the cities. For instance, Chicago is known as "The Windy City," not just for its weather but also due to the city's politicians being known for their long-winded speeches. New Orleans is called "The Big Easy" due to its laid-back lifestyle and the ease of finding work and entertainment. San Francisco's "Fog City" nickname comes from its frequent fog, while Las Vegas is "Sin City" for its gambling and entertainment scene. The article also touches on less known nicknames like "The City of Brotherly Love" for Philadelphia, stemming from its founding principles, and "The Mile High City" for Denver, due to its elevation. Each nickname provides a glimpse into the city's identity, history, or a notable feature, making these names a fun and integral part of American urban lore.
