This page is about the locality in the US northeast. For other places either in the US or elsewhere, see New York (disambiguation); New York, New York (disambiguation); New York City (disambiguation); NY (disambiguation); and NYC (disambiguation).
While the city and the state overlap, neither contains the other. There are slightly more people in the New York metropolitan area than in the entire state of New York, but in each case less than half of that number live in the five boroughs of New York City which are in both the city and the state. The capital of New York is not New York City or even part of it, but Albany, about 150 miles to the North.
New York also refers to:
- New York metropolitan area, the region encompassing New York City and its suburbs, some of which are in neighbouring states
- New York County, covering the same area as the New York City borough of Manhattan
- Province of New York, a historical colony preceding the state of New York
