City With Everything

Wikipedia’s “Nicknames of New York City” states that New York has been called “The City with Everything,” but this nickname has been only infrequently used in recent years. “City With Everything” possibly borrows from American author E. B. White‘s nickname for New York—“Capital of Everything.”
 
The New York Convention and Visitors Bureau (behind the “Big Apple” campaign in the 1970s) promoted the fifth annual “New York Is a Summer Festival” in 1958 by calling New York “The City With Everything” in its tourist literature.
   
   
Wikipedia: Nicknames of New York City
New York City has been known by a variety of nicknames, both officially and unofficially, now and in the past. City nicknames can help in establishing a civic identity, helping outsiders recognize a community or attracting people to a community because of its nickname; promote civic pride; and build community unity. Nicknames and slogans that successfully create a new community “ideology or myth” are also believed to have economic value. Their economic value is difficult to measure, but there are anecdotal reports of cities that have achieved substantial economic benefits by “branding” themselves by adopting new slogans.
 
New York City is frequently shortened to simply “New York,” “NY,” or “NYC.” New York City is also known as “The City” in much of the United States. Other nicknames take the form of “The City with Everything” or “Hong Kong on the Hudson,” a reference in different cases to the city’s prominence or its immigrant groups.

A2. NYC has both the nickname “the city that never sleeps” and “the city with everything.” For good reason. http://www.gogobot.com/new-york-city  #TL_Chat
