On one of the world's largest natural harbors,[12]New York City consists of five boroughs, each of which is acounty of New York State.[13]The five boroughs-the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island-were consolidated into a single city in 1898.[14]With a census-estimated 2013 population of 8,405,837[4]distributed over a land area of just 305 square miles (790 km2).
3000 square miles is equivalent to an area that measures approximately 54.77 miles by 54.77 miles. To put this into perspective, it is roughly the size of the state of Delaware or slightly larger than the island of Puerto Rico. This measurement is commonly used to describe the size of regions, national parks, or bodies of water.

Oh, dude, 30,000 acres is like, around 46 square miles. So, imagine a piece of land that's like, 46 times the size of Central Park in New York City. It's like having your own massive playground, but with way more grass and way less people.
It was built in a triangle shape. It was built that way because of Broadway. Except for Lower Manhattan, New York City is arranged on a square grid pattern. Broadway ruins this neat little grid pattern by running in a diagonal line north/south through practically all of Manhattan. Since Broadway bisects some of the rectangular-shaped blocks diagonally, one large rectangular block becomes two smaller triangular blocks. There are more than a few of them dotted around the city, actually. However, even though Broadway appears to cut diagonally through Manhattan, it actually runs in a straight, true north/south line up and down Manhattan and New York State. Instead, it's Manhattan that's crooked. All of New York City is built on an eastward slant. Manhattan points northeast, not true north. Broadway starts out in Lower Manhattan and runs north all the way through Manhattan and then almost all the way up through New York State to Canada! It's not called Broadway the whole way, but it's the same street/road. It is the longest street in the world, actually. So, the Flatiron Building was built in the shape of a triangle because the block that it sits upon is shaped that way.
