The New York City pageant is back as a triple crown pageant this year,  awarding the titles of Miss Greater NYC, Miss Manhattan, and Miss Cosmopolitan. The event was held on November 12, 2016 at the Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis High School for International Careers. Last year, Mackenzie Perpich Miss Manhattan was a Top 5 Finalist and Preliminary Talent Award winner at Miss New York.

Throughout history, a winner of the New York City pageant has won the state title more than any other title, so its needless to say we can expect a Top 5 winner (or two, or three) this year as well!
