5 Buroughs of New York City
Just In Case You Think Brooklyn, NY is Not Part of NYC.
(I was born in Brooklyn, New York.)
New York City is huge and has millions of people. It consists of five boroughs: Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island. New York City ranks number one and is the most populated city of the United States. It has of a population of 8,008,278. Currently Brooklyn is the borough with the largest population with 2,465,326 people; then comes Queens with 2,229,379; Manhattan with 1,537,195; the Bronx with 1,332,650; and finally Staten Island with 443,728. Each of these areas have their own central government, but all are considered to be part of New York City. In area, Queens comes in 1st with Brooklyn being 2nd, Staten Island is 3rd, The Bronx is 4th, and Manhattan comes in Last at 5th place.

New York Giants
The NY Giants played against The New England Patriots in The Super Bowl XLVI. I am a big time Giants fan. The Giants have won 4 games now XXI January 25, 1987, XXV and XLII on January 27, 1991 and February 1, 2009 and have now won the XLVI game on February 5, 2012.

Carlos Bakery
In 1910, Carlo's Bakery was founded by Carlo Guastaferro, and in 1964, it was purchased by Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Sr. Bartolo "Buddy" Valastro Jr. currently runs the bakery, with help from his four older sisters, three brother-in-laws, and other assorted family members and friends. One notable employee was Sal Picinich, who began working at the bakery shortly after the Valastro family purchased it, and continued until his death on January 30, 2011. The bakery rose to fame in April 2009 with the premiere of Cake Boss, a reality television series on TLC that depicts the staff of the Bake Shop creating elaborate custom-order novelty cakes. As of July 25, 2011, there have been a total of four seasons and 77 episodes of the show. As a result of the popularity of Cake Boss, Carlo's Bakery has built a new factory at Lackawanna Center, a mixed industrial/retail complex in nearby Jersey City. Carlo's Bakery has leased space at the complex, which will be used for additional space to make specialty cakes, as well as the ability to make baked goods for shipment across the country. Currently, because of the limited space at the Hoboken location, Carlo's Bakery is unable to ship cakes beyond normal driving distance from the bakery; the bakery had conducted a limited trial internet sale of pies in October 2010, to test the viability of selling baked goods on the internet. The factory is also be the venue of Buddy's reality competition series, Next Great Baker, beginning with its second season. On May 12, 2011, Carlo's Bakery opened its first branch location, called Cake Boss Cafe, at the Discovery Times Square Exposition at 226 West 44th Street in New York City's Times Square. This location offers Carlo's Bakery's smaller baked goods, as well as bakery and Cake Boss merchandise.
