Queens Councilman James Gennaro wants the city council to pass a resolution to name the "Newtown Pippin" the city's official apple. The Newtown Pippin is a tart green apple that was first harvested in Elmhurst, Queens about 300 years ago.

What do you think? Does the city need an official fruit, apple or otherwise? What variety of apple would you choose for New York? Post your comments below or email us at newstips@wnyc.org.
