Origins of "The Big Apple"

Another thing I am a total nerd about is... (drum roll drum roll) Theatre. Anything to do with theatre and acting I love, love, love. That also means I am a bit of a  nerd on New York, Los Angeles, and the like.We shall focus on New York today. I was talking to my friend Victoria the other day about a trip I'm taking to New York City with my theatre teacher and her students next summer. She, of course, referred to NY as "The Big Apple." Why is it called The Big Apple? This thing just kept bugging me and bugging me and I figured, hey, my friends over here are smart, maybe they can help me. So, I want you to do some research. Because I am so lazy, I would like you to find out why NY is called "The Big Apple." Don't know? Give me your theories! It'll be fun! Can you do that for me? Okay, thanks!

As always, DFTBA!
