"Take Me Home, Country Roads" and the universal pull towards home is a song about a longing for home (co-written by a songwriter who had never even been in West Virginia), has been embraced by the Mountain State in a big way, and has since been appropriated by singers around the world looking for their very own "place I belong."

New York City is America’s tossed salad and melting pot. NYC has separate and distinct cultural "zones" defined by deep ethnic roots, immigration waves, and local geography. Every borough and region feels like a completely different country. NYC’s map highlights 30 immigrant neighborhoods across the five boroughs, including Chinatown, Koreatown, Little Poland, Little Guyana, Little Haiti, Little Palestine, Little Yemen, Little Ukraine, Little Odessa, and many more.
But many New Yorkers quickly noticed that some of the city’s most historic immigrant communities — including Little Italy — are missing. Italian-American leaders, along with others, have criticized the map, arguing it overlooks neighborhoods that helped shape New York’s identity. City Hall says the map focuses on current neighborhoods with substantial foreign-born populations rather than documenting every historic immigrant community, and officials have said additional neighborhoods may be added in the future.
New York City is a massive puzzle of distinct NYC ethnic enclaves. Neighborhoods act as cultural zones where different groups share their food, art, and traditions. This makes it easy to travel around the world just by taking a short subway ride

Puerto Rican — the next largest, at about 6.1 million
