NYC
Gotham's postal abbreviation
NYC is the standard abbreviation for New York City, the most populous city in the United States.
It appears in addresses, headlines, and casual writing where space or brevity matters: I'm moving to NYC next month, NYC real estate prices keep climbing.
The abbreviation is pronounced as three letters, not as a word.
