Manhattan, which is only a part of New York City, and a very small part of New York State, was purchased by the Dutch from the Native Americans living nearby for trade goods worth 60 Guilders in 1626, which was estimated a hundred years ago to be the equivalent of $60, but is probably closer to the purchasing power of $1000 today.
