NewIntroductiYork
on
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 1920’s, 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.

Times Square is located between Broadway & West 42nd Street. Times
Square owes its name to the New York Times, which in 1904 moved into the
Times Tower, at the south end of the Square. This is New York’s tourist
mecca, full of busloads of visitors gasping at the glittering acres of overhead
neon. Times Square is famous for its New Year’s celebration as well as its

Midtown is famous for its New Year’s celebration at Times Square, as well
as its dazzling Broadway Theaters. Midtown is also the location of some of
the most spectacular buildings in New York. Among these are the Chrysler
Building, once the world’s tallest skyscraper before being surpassed by the
Empire State Building; Citicorp Center with its dramatic wedge-shaped
headquarters, Grand Central Station, the General Electric Building with its
distinctive crown, the United Nations headquarters, New York’s Public
Library, and Murray Hill, one of New York’s most prized residential areas.
Nearby is Kip’s Bay, where the British landed to battle George Washington’s
troops during the Revolutionary War, and Beekman Place, an exclusive residence for the rich and famous. Be sure to visit the “Intrepid,” a floating
World War II carrier converted into a Sea-Air-Space Museum, located at Pier
86. Don’t miss the All Access Tour at the world’s most famous arena Madison Square Garden.

A mecca for artists, musicians, writers and actors, “The Village” teems with
creativity and nightlife and has been home to famous authors, painters and
playwrights for decades. Along with quaint streets, chic cafes, fashionable
shops and elegant homes, landmarks include New York University, the
Forbes Magazine Building and the Washington Mews. SoHo, meaning
“South of Houston,” features art galleries and the largest collection of
cast-iron architecture in the world, located between West Houston and Canal
Streets. Cafes and shops abound. A favorite weekend pastime for a New
Yorker is to brunch and browse in SoHo. Chelsea, named after its London
counterpart, is a dynamic neighborhood with distinctive restaurants,
theaters and clothing stores. Little Italy, Mulberry-to-Mott north of Canal,
was populated by Italian immigrants in the late 19th century. Restaurants
and bakeries, as well as Old World ambience abound.

NewQueensYork
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 today’s destination for the
thousands of immigrants that still come here. Queens County was named
after Queen Catherine, Charles II’s 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”
Wall Street
Times Square
“The Big Apple” phrase represents New York
City as world famous for its cultural and
performing arts entertainment. In the 1930’s,
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 1970’s and was
successfully utilized to promote tourism by the
New York Convention and Visitors Bureau.
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 has long been regarded as the
hub of Manhattan nightlife, especially on New
Year’s 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
Sardi’s restaurant. The New York Times was
formerly located here...hence the name.
Street and Place Names
Brooklyn Bridge
Museums
New York’s 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.
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 Roebling’s 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.
New York’s museums hold many of the world’s
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
Empire State Building
Lincoln Center
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 nation’s first capital. The Statue of
Liberty was constructed in 1886.
New York’s landmark skyscraper built in 1929
with a height of 1,250 feet was, until the 1970’s,
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.
The centerpiece of Manhattan’s 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
United Nations
Rockefeller Center
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.
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.
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
Art Deco Style
International Style
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.
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.
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 1970’s, but fueled by the
boom of the 1980’s, 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.
