Just occurred to me that I had no idea why New York was called The Big Apple. Turns out, bizarrely, its a horse racing thing (and basically only exists as a nickname because one particular journalist battered it into the ground until other people started saying it). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Apple (This is one of those things that is probably common knowledge in the US but it was interesting to this limey okay)
