New York City has the reputation of being a "big media-advertising town". Only [[Beijing]] in [[China]] rivals it in this respect. Most people on [[Earth]] working in media and advertising, especially journalists and photographers, live in one of these two cities.<ref>''[[Halo Graphic Novel]]'', [[Second Sunrise Over New Mombasa]]</ref> | New York City has the reputation of being a "big media-advertising town".

One of the companies that could be found in NYC in [[2552]] was [[Crystal Security]]. Crystal Security, however, was actually a front for a crime syndicate led by an individual that went by the name of [[Monster Ann]]. | One of the companies that could be found in NYC in [[2552]] was [[Crystal Security]].

New York strips continue to be enjoyed well into the 26th Century. The [[URF]] leader, [[Colonel]] [[Robert Watts]], routinely had New York steaks shipped to his private residence at [[Eridanus Secundus]] from the [[Eridanus II]] space docks.<ref>''[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]'', p. 104 (2010)</ref> | |||

*The [[UNSC Supreme Headquarters]] is located somewhere within the URNA. It is possible that it is in NYC, seeing as the United Nations is already headquartered there. | |||
*It can be assumed that the 26th Century New York City comprises a great deal more area than it did in the 21st. The [[Greater Chicago Industrial Zone]] and [[New Phoenix]] serve as examples of 26th-Century metroplexes that grew from what used to be smaller cities in the past. NYC had around 8.5 million residents in the early 21st century. If New York City grew at the same proportion that Phoenix and Flagstaff did over the centuries, then it could have around 39.5 million residents. | |||
