"The Big Apple" is the name by which New York City (USA) is popularly known. In principle it appears to be a nickname coined by the rapporteur and equestrian journalist John J. Fitz Gerald in the 1920s. The explanation (which personally sounds more like an excuse) is that you heard it say to a jockey who saw New York and his racecourse as the destination that seeks every horse racer, such as "the apple that all horses chase." Considering that this localist anecdote fits with the promotional use made by the city of the slogan 'Big Apple', I almost prefer to believe that Big Apple is actually a bad translation of the Spanish concept of "main apple", the political, economic, religious center of a community : its main building block, which perfectly fits the importance of the former capital of the country.
