I recently was out to dinner with my wife and friends and the question came up, "why do they call New York the Big Apple?". We all looked around at each other and said, I don't know but we should find out! So I have sent my team (not Goldbrick) to search far and wide for the answer to this question.

Please let me know what you think. Is it true what they say? Do you have another idea why?
