Wow, that really puts things in perspective!
 
Steinway Pianos are currently made in Queens, they have been in NYC since 1853.

In WW2 they made pianos (GI / Victory Pianos) that were shipped to soldiers overseas for entertainment purposes and some were even airdropped.

They even made wooden gliders for the war effort.

They were the first ones to implement flexible manufacturing techniques....:)

Most trade centers are not production centers...maybe a few incidentally and accidentally, but the geographic (and geological) considerations that drive trade are necessarily are at odds with those that drive production and consumption. NYC is the most geographically ideal location in the world from the standpoint of trade...somewhat worthless from a production standpoint (aggregation of raw materials and manufacturing with them notwithstanding).

This isn't unique. SF, Denver, Chicago, Boston, Seattle, London, HK, Shanghai, Tokyo, Istanbul, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Mumbai, and Dubai all fit this model. Just to name a few.

Interstate (and international) commercial intercourse is hardly masturbatory. Quite to the contrary, it's procreative to both the producers and the consumers of the goods that pass through.

True. A center for so many various artists in performing arts, music, dancing, operas, musicals, ballets, instrumentals, ... both classical and contemporary.

Of course, that would include anything like diamonds or industrial diamonds. Both domestically or internationally.

A better measure (than GDP), I guess, would be the (gross) added-value by the whole NYC, comparing any other cities/states.

A contractor like farmer would generate very limited added-value since the farmer has to pay for patent license fees (GM seeds), interest on borrowing finance to pay equipment/hired-labour, rental cost of farming land (that could be owned by a NYer), depreciation of equipment/infrastructure (including storage warehouse, transportation), operating costs (diesel/petrol, fertilizer, various chemicals, holiday/sick leave, etc.), etc.

During a year of extremely bad weather such as rains/fire/dry/snow/etc, the added-value of farming industry could be a negative figure. Besides the factors mentioned above, the farmers might have to get government's subsidies, extra finance for cash-flow need, heavy interest cost especially for undercapitalised operators, partial loss of annual production output, loss of land value, etc.

While at the same year, a commercial centre like NYC in the same country could be quite profitable in terms of added-value, relatively.
 
What tangible products does Silicon Valley produce .... besides gadgets - made in China?

Like the music question from The Blues Brothers


We got tangible and intangible nowadays and both are equally important so why split hairs?

Pardon me for being bold, but being "from that place" has allowed me to know exactly what NYC produces and has produced for the nation...

Best pizza ever.

The east village, lower west side, and everything in between. Ever hear of something called "music"?

9/11. Anyone here remember that bit? The entire world clenched their collective anus when the Twin towers went down. So in a sense, NYC united the world against terrorism. Once 9/11 happened, we got shit like the Patriot Act. The TSA. The entire world changed because of NYC.

So yes...NYC has produced something...It is all now being revealed in the office of the presidency. Where the fack do people think this crap came from? *Weeps for the future*
