{{quote|"With more sights, shows, restaurants, bars, museums, shopping and borderline psychopaths than you can shake a shotgun at, there is no place quite like Liberty City.  Where else can you get sworn at by a senior citizen, accosted by a crackhead, propositioned by a prostitute, and strip-searched by a police officer, all before breakfast?  Discover the history, culture and diversity that make a booming metropolis the capital of the world, at least according to the over-caffeinated locals.  We encourage you to explore Liberty City's four boroughs and it's islands, each with it's own distinct atmosphere and personality.  There is always something for everyone.  There is also Liberty City's sister, Alderney State..."}}

'''An ex-city on its own'''

A distinct ex-city on its own, it maintains a distinct character apart from the rest of the city. This is the borough in which [[Niko Bellic]] initially arrives to Liberty City.

This is the city where anything goes, so long as you don't get caught. There has been a crackdown on crime in recent years and the police are everywhere in the city these days. The force responsible for patrolling and maintaining order in Liberty City and Alderney is the '''[[LCPD in GTA IV Era|Liberty City Police Department]]''' or '''LCPD'''.

Much of Liberty City's catering scene comprises of fast food chains and food stands/ vendors. Two of the most dominant fast food chains within the city are the [[Burger Shot]] and [[Cluckin' Bell]] franchises. Their restaurants can be found in several locations across the city. Hot Dog [[vendors]] can also be found in many locations, as well as a few hamburger vendors and mixed nuts vendors around Liberty City, particularly around [[Middle Park]].

*The street pattern, though roughly following that of Grand Theft Auto IV, is more grid-based, with smooth turns not being accommodated for

*Most skyscrapers only have their base rendered, as the top could not be viewed with the top-down perspective provided by GTA Chinatown Wars

== Trivia ==

*The depiction of Liberty City in the [http://www.rockstargames.com/IV/ official website of GTA IV] has been retouched to picture the entire city, or at least its landmass, as being larger than it is in-game. Broker is seen extended further to the right, or east, and lights that stretch to the horizon are visible in this extended area, as well as behind Dukes and Algonquin. The same modification can be seen to a more limited extent to the left or west of Alderney.

*Liberty City is still the largest city in the [[Grand Theft Auto]] Series.

*The [[subway]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] reaches everywhere in Liberty City except for [[Alderney]].
