Fun fact
The Capital of the World, the City So Nice, They Named It Twice, Fun City—none of New York City’s nicknames stuck except for one: the Big Apple. The moniker made its debut around local horse-racing tracks, with a sports columnist using it in his articles. The name then spread when jazz musicians of the 30s adopted it in their songs and it was also later used in a tourism campaign in the 70s.
