Changes: New York City

NYC-TIT — NYC's Times Square, as it appears in *The Ivory Tower*.

New York City (New York or NYC for short) is a city in the state of New York and the most populous city in the United States of America. By the early 1920s, when the show Boardwalk Empire takes place, NYC is already one of the biggest cities in the world and the global trade, financial, artistic and industrial center it remains today, plus the main entrance to the country of thousands of European immigrants (mostly from Ireland, Italy and Germany) that arrive each year.

Bootlegging and the criminal underworld in general is largely controlled by the Jewish mafia of Arnold Rothstein, although the competition of more recently arrived Italian mobsters like Joe Masseria is on the rise. Its location in one of the largest natural harbors in the world and constant trade with Europe and Canada also make it one of the most prominent entries for illegal alcohol in the country after the passing of Prohibition - however, the tighter political control place it at a disadvantage to other Atlantic ports like Atlantic City and Philadelphia.
