Hi,
The administrative center of the New York state is called New York City. The capital of Mexico is called Mexico City. Why is the word "City" used in both cases? Is it done in order not to confuse the name of the state and country, respectively, with the names of the cities? In what other cases is the word "City" used in addition to a city's name?
