NEW YORK IS BACK.!!
New York is a metropolis, the largest city in the USA, also
nicknamed the Big Apple. It consist of Manhattan, the core of the New York
city, Brooklyn , Bronx and Statue an Island.
For centures Ellis
Island was the entrance gate for millions of emigrands from all
over the world. The Statue of Liberty offered by the French people stands there
as a symbol of democracy. New York is also the
birth place of uncle Sam, the nickname for the typical
citizen of the USA.
Therefore, New Yorkers have a tendency
to look down on the rest of America
as being rather primitive, saying that Manhattan
is an island off the coast of America.
New York is a dream of American life, by its
sky-scrapes, the Philharmonic, Bronx- the heart of jazz, the Museum of Natural History,
and so forth.
Times
Square, like Wall Street and Fifth Aventue, is one of those New York addresses that is famous the world over. Its main claim to fame is the
massive neon billboards which have led historians to argue that modern mass
adversiting was born here. Yet, Times Square is also the heart of New York's theatre
distings, 44 legitimate theatres- Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller were
producing their best work- otherwise known as Broadway. As of that wasn't
enough, the Square is home to THE NEW YORK TIMES.
In terms of its size and beauty, Central Park is the envy of cities the world over. Race
relations in America may be
as bad as ever but
Central Park has come bouncing back.
It has a playground where locals of
all ages can go fishing and sunbathing. Throughout the city, slammer parks are
being transformed from havens for low-lifes into places where normal people can
go and relax. Even Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis used to go jogging in Central Park every day.
Midtown: 57th Street
57th
Street
is the home of the Russian Tea Room an Cargenie Hall.
Entertaining "theme" restaurants are springing up all the time. Planet
Hollywood, whose owners are Arnold Schwarzeneger, Bruce Willis and Silverster
Stallone, offers good American fare, you can eat surrounded by movie
memorabilia like the costume that Judy Garland wore in THE WIZARD OF OZ, Kim
Basinger's handcuffs from 9 ½ WEEKS and Arnold Schwarzeneger's Terminator face.
The street's olders theme restaurant is the Hard Rock
Café. The starting point for one of New York's
laterst and most entertaining tourist attractions is the "Rock and Roll Tour NY".
Downtown: SoHo
In many respects, SoHo South of Huston Street") is a part of Manhattan that has been up-and-coming for
sometime. It was once an area of light industry, then the artists started to move in,
turning the buidings into studious. By the 1980s SoHo was the centre of the New York-and world- art
scene. It had also became a good place for clothes
shops.
Places to
visit
An
interesting place to visit is the US Military Academy at the West Point, or you
can watch a game of the Yankee's Baseball Teem in the BRONX.
In February you can attend the Winter Carnaval, or
you can attend a horse race in summer.
After the tragical event on September 11th
2001, New York
also became a symbol of communication among its citizens. The mayor of New York at that time gave the city a sense of leadership
and self-confidence among the US
cities.
New
York is the home of United Nations!!!
