	the Columbia clue didn't work when i tried to type it in. also, the answers for the baseball teams require typing in "New York," the team names alone won't work. the Islanders aren't in NYC. if you include them, you should include the Nets and Devils too, they are closer to Manhattan than the Islanders are. you could also add Newark airport, and accept LGA for LaGuardia. so far as adding more stuff, maybe stadium names, notable suburbs, longest bridge, and notable streets. pretty decent all around though.

	you should accept just Verrazano because no one ever calls it the Verrazano-Narrows

	added a few more things and fixed a few answers... let me know of anything else.. thanks

	Yes, you need to be more lenient with the answers you accept. otherwise good

	MLB Teram for Mets? you can also add things like which president was inaugurated here? or something about Alexander Hamilton being buried there maybe

	You could add the Three Subway systems (IRT, BMT, IND),

	pretty sure i typed 'grand central' unless i mistyped - did we need to type 'grand central terminal'? if so, change it!

	I'm ok with counting the Giants and Jets, but if you take tulo2's suggestion and remove them, you would also need to remove the Statue of LIberty. Ellis Island, which isn't on the quiz, is in NYC waters. I think a good idea would be to include all the small islands next to the boroughs - Roosevelt, Randall's, Ward's, Governor's, Rikers, and there may be a few other really small ones.

	If you're going to accept the Jets and Giants as NY teams, you need to accept EWR as a NY airport.

	Riko:	Jun 15th, 2010 at 02:18 GMT		6 points
	Yeah, why are are New Jersey Giants and New Jersey Jets on a New York City quiz? Oh wait.... I like the questions but it's a little Manhattan centric. Maybe you could something about the World's Fairs, Coney Island, Bronx Zoo, or... what ever they have on Staten Island.

	leppyfresh:	Jun 15th, 2010 at 02:24 GMT		3 points
	May be accept "NY Times", otherwise I thought it was a good quiz.

	adeutsch107:	Jun 15th, 2010 at 02:44 GMT		5 points
	accept MSG, WSJ, NYT

	LinuxLinus:	Jun 15th, 2010 at 03:09 GMT		4 points
	NHL team - Rangers; MLS Team - Red Bulls.

	I missed the Yankees...something must be wrong with me.

	WalterSobchak:	Sep 19th, 2010 at 20:11 GMT		2 points
	You could ask for the major river crossings, and maybe the three divisions of the subway and the three major commuter railroads into the city.

	zeke:	Oct 31st, 2010 at 04:30 GMT		4 points
	You should accept commonly used abbreviations like GW for the George Washington Bridge, MSG for Madison Square Garden, ESB for Empire State Building, and GCT for Grand Central Terminal

	Why are the Jets and Giants included but not the Islanders?

	diving:	Dec 23rd, 2010 at 07:14 GMT		5 points
	Just the inconsistency that you're very strict about staying within the city limits by not accepting Newark airport the New York Islanders, but you accept the Giants and Jets who both play outside the city limits. Either do the metro area or do the city limits, don't switch back and forth.

	frostynyc:	Feb 3rd, 2011 at 02:03 GMT		4 points
	I would say include Giants, Jets, and Islanders since their official names are New York, but dont include the Meadowlands Stadium (which no longer exists anyway) because it is not located in New York. Some other ideas are something about the Apollo Theater, Bronx Zoo, New York Metropolitan Opera, some of the museums, MTA, Coney Island

	aaaandrew:	Mar 12th, 2011 at 18:14 GMT		2 points
	accept msg for madison square garden, and you're gonna have to edit this in a couple months due to the new WTC 1

	newenglander:	Mar 13th, 2011 at 04:22 GMT		1 point
	you should accept gwb for george washington bridge

	Fuzzyhippos:	Mar 14th, 2011 at 05:52 GMT		2 points
	Giants and Jets are included because they are considered NY teams (I'm from Jersey... East Rutherford in fact, and I hate it as well).. A good idea would be Transit systems to and in NY.. MTA, LIRR, Metro North, NJT, PATH. The Tunnels (Holland and Lincoln), the brooklyn bridge, Port Authority and Penn Station.

	It would be fun if you added a bonus answer for Idlewild (original name of JFK airport).

	*New Meadowlands

	Berubium:	May 19th, 2011 at 23:36 GMT		1 point
	Enjoyed the quiz. Love NY. There could be so much more here. I was so proud of myself for typing in Shea Stadium at the very last second only to realize that the Mets play at Citi Field. Oops...

	titan318:	Jun 4th, 2011 at 05:02 GMT		2 points
	If you're letting the Jets and Giants be called New York teams, you have to add the Islanders too.

	Aristocles:	Jun 21st, 2011 at 19:51 GMT		2 points
	Good quiz. Just add the islanders, include the new meadowlands stadium as a bonus answer (it is in NJ, not NY), and maybe add something from the outer boroughs, like Coney Island or something involving tunnels, like the Lincoln or Holland tunnels.

	gowhere:	Feb 17th, 2012 at 18:01 GMT		2 points
	I agree that it is a great start, but given the size and fame/notoriety of New york, I think you could easily increase this quiz to 100 answers, including some of the questions added above, and others such as the name of the Mayors mansion, former MLB teams and stadiums, more bridges, islands, counties, etc.

	How is the Wall Street Journal a NY Newspaper?

	RexCrixalis:	Apr 15th, 2013 at 14:01 GMT		1 point
	The name of the Giants / Jets stadium is MetLife. Also, add the Islanders and the Nets (with the respective arenas).
