More than 200 languages are spoken on our streets, and more than one in three New Yorkers hail from foreign lands. In every facet of city Life -- from business, to the arts, to public service -- the range of cultures and viewpoints offered by New Yorkers helps maintain our city's role as an international center for finance, diplomacy, entertainment and culture."
