New York Introduction


New York City has been named many times. The first name, Mannahatta, or Manhattan, was given by the American Indians. When the Dutch moved in, it was called New Amsterdam. 1664 was the first time it was called New York by British settlers. Around the 1920s, New York was called the Big Apple by actors and musicians. In 1971, the nickname gained publicity when used to enhance tourism. Manhattan is an island 13.4 miles long and 2.3 miles at its widest. Finding your way is simple as roads are laid out in a grid pattern above 14th Street. Avenues run North to South, and streets run East to West. One-way 5th Avenue marks the dividing line of the East and West side. Below 14th Street, use map, as this area was built on before the grid pattern was established.

NewQueens York
A visit to Queens is like a world tour. Queens, originally a handful of towns, has evolved as a patchwork of foreign cities. It is todays destination for the thousands of immigrants that still come here. Queens County was named after Queen Catherine, Charles IIs wife. It joined New york as a borough in 1898. The Queensboro Bridge was built in 1909 and Queens became a residential satellite of Manhattan.

Why The Big Apple...


Why The Big Apple
The Big Apple phrase represents New York City as world famous for its cultural and performing arts entertainment. In the 1930s, jazz musicians expanded the name of a Harlem Nightclub, The Big Apple, to include the whole neighborhood and the phrase eventually spread throughout the city. The Big Apple phrase resurfaced in the early 1970s and was successfully utilized to promote tourism by the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Wall Street
The hub of the financial world, Wall Street and its frenzied trading floors rule the economic fortunes of multitudes with nervously watched transactions of the New York Stock Exchange (between New and Broad streets), where frantic brokers wheel and deal. It all began with the Buttonwood Agreement signed in 1792 by a group of stock dealers conducting business beneath the trees.

Times Square
Times Square has long been regarded as the hub of Manhattan nightlife, especially on New Years Eve when thousands gather to celebrate. The heart of the theatre district, with its famous neon signs, features such landmarks as the Booth and Shubert Theatres, the Lyceum, and Sardis restaurant. The New York Times was formerly located here...hence the name.

Street and Place Names


New Yorks street and place names reflect the nationalities of its settlers, from Dutch words like Harlem, Gramercy, and Brooklyn (after Breuckelen, a small town in the Utrect region); to American Indian names, (the word Manhattan, was formerly Manhatta). German, Spanish, Hungarian, Russian, English, Yiddish, and Chinese words have all left their mark.

Brooklyn Bridge
The famous bridge linking Manhattan with Brooklyn was designed by German-born John A. Roebling, whose trip on an ice-bound ferry inspired the idea. Construction began in 1869 and was carried out by Roeblings son and daughter-in-law, taking sixteen years to complete. The master mechanic was the first person to cross the river, on a steam-driven traveler rope.

Museums
New Yorks museums hold many of the worlds treasures. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) has some of the most famous impressionist and modern paintings. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney Museum, the Guggenheim, the Museum of American Folk Art, the New Museum of Contemporary Art and many others contribute to the cultural life of New York and the enrichment of visitors.

New York At - A - Glance


In 1609, Henry Hudson arrived at what is now the Hudson River, and by 1647, Peter Stuyvesant was governor of the Dutch colony. The first governor of New York was appointed in 1702, and in 1789, George Washington took the presidential oath in New York City, which became the nations first capital. The Statue of Liberty was constructed in 1886.

Empire State Building


New Yorks landmark skyscraper built in 1929 with a height of 1,250 feet was, until the 1970s, the tallest building in the world. Construction proceeded at the rate of more than four floors per week and, today, the building offers views of four states from observatories on the 86th and 102nd floors. Lobby exhibits feature King Kong and Wonders of the World.

Lincoln Center
The centerpiece of Manhattans cultural life, the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is home to the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Philharmonic, and the New York City Ballet, founded by George Balanchine in 1948. One of the biggest concert and performance venues in the world, Lincoln Center hosts more than five million people attending three thousand events each year.

Statue of Liberty
A universal symbol of freedom, the 152-foot cast iron statue is a gift of the French people to America, commemorating the 1778 alliance between France and the United States. The national monument is reachable by ferry, and visitors can take an elevator to the observation deck at the top of the pedestal. The crown is reachable by walking up 168 steps.

United Nations
The United Nations, on the bank of the East River between 42nd and 48th streets, covers more than fifteen acres and houses an international parliament with delegates from around the world. Guided tours include the Secretariat Building, the domed General Assembly Hall, and the Conference Wing. The United Nations, with its peacekeeping mission, was created in London following World War II.

Rockefeller Center
A complex of nineteen buildings, Rockefeller Center houses Radio City Music Hall, NBC, General Electric, (the former RCA building) and a multiplicity of businesses, with shops, fountains, cafes, and statues notably the trademark golden Prometheus overlooking a terrace and outdoor skating rink. The brainchild of John D. Rockefeller Jr., Rockefeller Center is a city within a city.

Eclectic Style of the First Skyscrapers


Turn-of-the-century skyscrapers combined elements of neo-Classicism and neo-Gothic styles as building technology came of age, making possible multiple stories and styles. The Flatiron Building at 175 5th Avenue, besides having an unusual shape and design, was the first self-sufficient skyscraper with an electric generator to provide all its own electricity and heating.

Art Deco Style


European architectural styles such as French Art Deco, Viennese Secession, and German Expressionism influenced Manhattan architecture, of which the Chrysler Building is a stunning example, as is the General Electric Building, 570 Lexington Avenue at 51st Street (formerly the RCA Building), and its Art Deco Lower Plaza. Look for ornamental stonework, gilding, and the glazed ceramic work of the spire.

International Style
Architect Philip Johnson and art historian Henry-Russel Hitchcock described the exhibition of modern European architecture held at MoMA in 1932 as international style. But European modernism was not fully accepted by New York architects until 1950. Citicorp Center at Lexington Avenue, between 53rd and 54th streets, with its 46 aluminum paneled stories, is a dramatic contemporary example.

Post Modernism Style


In vogue from the 1970s, but fueled by the boom of the 1980s, Post Modernism gave skyscrapers a new dimension, as well as an antidote to the International Style. Architects and real estate developers saw Post Modernism as a way to add symbolic significance to large corporate buildings. An important example: the sleek buildings of the World Financial Center located at Battery Park City.
