I had not known that New York has five parts.

5. New York has five parts, Manhattan, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island and Brooklyn. I could know that The Bronx was a place which people did not want to visit for a long time and Brooklyn has three cities, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston. It was good for me to know them from reading this book.
