Hi all in the Hive account@steemusa team! I have been living in New York City for a while now. This city is my second home, it adopted me 12 years ago, I love this city as my own. I am a proud NEWYORKER.

This is my entry in #steemusa’s STATE WARS

~ STATE SYMBOLS ~

New York State Slogan

I ❤️NY is a famous logo, you will see it it usually in T-shirts, accessories and decorations items. It was designed by graphic designer Milton Glaser in 1976, in the back of a taxi. It been used since 1977.

Apple State Fruit Of NY

The Apple was designed as official state fruit in 1976. NY is the second largest
Apple producing. Many varieties are shipped raw, squeezed into juice and cider, frozen, canned in sauce or in slices, and processed into vinegar.

Sugar Maple Tree

It was designed the State tree of NYS in 1956. Sap from the trunks is used to make maple syrup, which I love it over my vegan pancakes.
The leaves also turn bright colors in Autumn, the most spectacular fall foliage I have ever seen in the opportunities we went upstate to Lake George with my husband. The view turns absolutely stunning. Ahhh the bright colors of the leaves.

Our Majestic Statue Of Liberty

I know it symbolizes America’s immigrant heritage but, I could not forget to name the Statue Of Liberty, because she is located in New York Harbor, in New York City. On her base is a tablet inscribed with words penned by Emma Lazarus:

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Thanks @SteemUSA
