newyork city
Cities do not have capitals. Furthermore, New York City is not the capital of anything. New York City is the largest city in New York State, but Albany is the state capital.
I would say that New York City is to New York as Stamford is to Connecticut. New York City is one of the largest cities in the U.S., but it is not the capital of New York State (Albany is). Stamford is also one of the largest cities in the U.S., but it is not the capital of Connecticut (Hartford is).
Cities do not have capitals. Countries and states have capital cities; a city cannot have a capital city. It makes no sense. The capital of New York State is Albany. New York City is the largest city in New York State, but it is not the capital.
No. There are lots of states that have bigger cities then their capitol. NYC is bigger than Albany; LA is bigger than Sacramento; Bridgeport is bigger than Hartford; Charlotte is bigger than Raleigh; etc,etc.
No. America is not a city; it is a continent, and, colloquially, a country. The United States of America (often called just "America" or "the U.S.") is a country on the North American continent. And New York is not the capital of anything. New York City is the largest city in New York State, but Albany is the state capital.
No, not always. New York City is the largest city in New York State (by population it's the largest city in the United States) but Albany is the state capital. Los Angeles is the largest city in California (and second-largest by population in the U.S.) but Sacramento is the state capital. Detroit is the largest city in Michigan, but Lansing is the state capital. Chicago is the largest city in Illinois, but Springfield is the state capital.
No, the state's capital is not always the largest city in the state. While some state capitals are also the largest city, there are many cases where a smaller city serves as the capital. For example, in New York, Albany is the capital even though it is not the largest city (that would be New York City).
Because it was more centrally located within the state.

The major cities in Victoria, Australia, are Melbourne, Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, and Warrnambool. Melbourne, the state capital, is the largest and most populous city in Victoria.
New York City is a city, not a state, so it has no state capital. Cities don't have capitals. Only states and countries have capitals.
The Hudson River connects Albany, the state capital, with New York, the state's largest city.
