3 the Big Apple
Нью-Йорк. Говорят, что это слово относится к временам джазового бума 1930-х гг., когда apple (яблоко) было жаргонным словом музыкантов, означающим полученную работу. Нью-Йорк был тем местом, где хотели работать все джазовые музыканты, чтобы стать популярными. Таким образом, Нью-Йорк стали называть the Big Apple — «Большое яблоко». -
