New York: Take a bite of Big Apple
Take a song, or a bite of many of the Big Apple. We took the New Jersey traffic in New York. The bus is modern bus to 42nd Street Port Authority. Port Authority is one of the centers of many ground transportation in New York. Most bus main are there and you can connect to almost all subway lines through a tunnel on foot Times Square. The hubs are Grand Central Railway Station, served by Transportation underground Times Square and Penn Station, the journey of two underground stations. The subway system in Manhattan is faster and more efficient transport on the island, with stops in four to six blocks from each other. The system used to be confused with many separate lines designated by different letters: IRT, BMT, etc. At present the different lines are designated by colors and numbers or letters. A map showing routes and points of connection. The subway system is now very easy to follow. It is also quite contrary to the perception of some people. Here are some little known facts about the system. The tunnels go for at least eight floors underground. There are miles of mazes, even in the tubes themselves, where homeless people have made their homes. In one of the lines of Manhattan in Queens, the tracks literally walk on water under the East River. Even the engineers do not know how to fix the problem. The proceeds of the ticket is sent by a special train which travels through the system. The trains are very long, at least ten cars long. More cars are benches along the sides, leaving most of the car stand. There are three points each side of the car, allowing quick access and exit. Runners straps called because they cling to straps hanging from the ceiling while you drive. The newer cars as the next stop in your car. Some even have a map of route and location current vehicle are lit on the card.
New York City comprises five boroughs: Reyes (Manhattan), Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn and Richmond (Staten Island). All districts are connected to the subway or the train or bus, with the exception of Staten Island is served by ferry famous. Learn more about different areas where we have visited.
I left the desert at Cafe Lalo, where part of the movie "You've Got Mail "was filmed. Then we walked down Broadway in Fairfield market, a few blocks from the famous South Zabar, supermarket and shop devices (but much more experience). I was amazed by the variety of fresh produce and meat, fish and poultry relatively low prices. The corridors are very narrow in the store, because that space is a luxury in Manhattan. Buy unlimited subway pass, $ 21.00 for the week, and a bus ride to downtown Broadway. City Center to promote the battery, the southern tip of Manhattan.
Uptown is north and Cross-town east or the East River (East Side) or a Hudson River (West Side). What better way to find and secure the city. We went through Columbus Circle, at the edge of Central Park, Julliard, Lincoln Center, the theater district, and of course superb dynamic Times Square. The bus turned east on 42nd Street and approved by the Public Library, Grand Central Station, and ended in the UN building.
Fate brought us there, we visited the famous UN building. Mati from Senegal in West Africa, has been our guide was very knowledgeable on the operation of the United Nations. It is the paper tiger that some people say it is. This a veritable forum for all nations around the world to discuss issues of common interest: military conflicts, landmines, disease, hunger, trade, etc. Maybe they are real tigers want to control other nations or to obtain huge profits through promotion of these problems. Some rooms have been used, namely the Security Council and the Council of Economic and Social Justice. They were session.
The bus goes to downtown Lexington Avenue. As we go through Chinatown, the Bowery in Little Italy, Greenwich Village skirt, and ends at the hotel City. There are many different types of restaurants in New York that you can eat in one another every night and no repeat for all your life.
Today, we ride the subway. Uptown We first went to the northern end of Manhattan to Fort Tryon Park. This is the highest point in Manhattan, overlooking both the Hudson River and East River. At the northernmost point of the park is the Museum cloisters. This unique museum consists five medieval cloisters saved Demolition of buildings in Europe, and numerous shrines and artifacts. Certain of these statues was used Scarecrow as the farmers, while others were found in piles of junk. One room highlights the Unicorn tapestries, speaking of hunting, the death and resurrection of the unicorn, a symbol of Jesus Christ. The tapestry contains over one hundred different species of plants Medieval woven in the stories. They are simply incredible, not only its beauty but also the textures of fabrics.
Went Times Square, then jumped off the train route No. 7 of Queens and Flushing Meadows, the site of Expo 1963 with its huge sculpture in the world. Of each side of the station are Shea Stadium, home of the baseball team New York Mets and the Arthur Ashe Stadium, home of the U.S. Open tennis Tournament. Back on the train to Times Square and Coney Island Road W at the tip of Brooklyn. We ate a Nathan's Hot Dog World famous. You can not compared with a hot dog Chicago Vienna. Amusement Park has been closed, open only on weekends while school is in session. Hurricane, famous roller coaster, had just closed for above. With our stomachs growling for this lack of time. It is open from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 days. The mountain does not look like much. But appearances are deceptive. This shake baby, shake and roll. I wanted to see if it always gave me the same excitement as the last time I mounted in 1963. But it would be one day later, which never came.
This day was reserved for visiting the grande dame of New York the Statue of Liberty. By train to Battery Park at the lower end Manhattan, bought the tickets at Castle Clinton, once guardian of the fortress port, then a concert hall (the American debut of Jenny Lind), then a point of entry for immigration, and now the box office of the Virgin. Circular, it is logical that one must pass through a force to be access to greet the great lady. In the journey Boat fifteen minutes at Governors Island is easy to imagine the profound feelings of wonder and joy of millions of immigrants who provides the first candle, while Verrazano Narrows in New York Harbor. The statue, a gift from France more than a hundred years, is another strong one of five which protected the harbor. The pedestal rises eleven stories and the woman herself is 151 meters. Again safety is very tight and Visitors are not allowed, either in the museum on the base, or crown. But being in his presence has been, as they say in Hebrew, "Dayenu" (It would have been sufficient.)
Boarding the ship returned to Ellis Island, built in 1892 to treat the great flood of immigrants. Two of our ancestors reached before that date, he met Clinton AKA Castle, the gardens or in a port of entry different. Charlie Walker Ranger was our guide. Once the instructor has one vote in the endorsement. He missed his call to the scene, because the tour he was more of a live presentation with a gallery of a boring recitation of facts and figures. Absolutely love work. The experience of Ellis Island was reserved for passengers in the third grade class. Recalling the movie From the bow of the Titanic was the lowest of the low. The passengers in first and second class were treated on board ships. After landing, the boat process at Ellis Island. There is a kind of short arc the challenge of eyes of inspectors. I recalled the images of the Holocaust where prisoners were "Selected". If you walk funny, protested, or looked frail, his clothes were marked with chalk to the inspection and subsequent processing. Most of these people fleeing tyrannical regimes and were terrified by men in uniform. In the United States have been receive orders for more men. Families were separated, while the transformation do men on one side and women and children on the other side of the room. The good news is that the whole process took less than five hours and only 2% of Twelve million migrants been returned to their countries of origin. Those who remained were the trains west of New Jersey or a trip to New York, excavating meters or more jobs to break the back.
Return to Battery Park up Broadway. At the entrance, the sculpture of the Globe of Peace who was the World Trade Center Plaza. Miraculously survived the tragedy and is now at the foot of Broadway, which is closely watched for an eternal flame. Although damaged, the world is standing peace in this world.
He crossed the central business district, which resembles a war zone, barricades and patrolling armed policemen in the region. Our target was the Federal Hall at the corner of Nassau, Broad and Wall streets. Federal Hall became the first capital of the United States. Here in Washington was sworn in as president and met with the Congress. The building has long been demolished. In its place is a building Neoclassical design on the outside as the Parthenon and the Pantheon-like interior. It is used as a custom home, then As custodian of gold reserves in the U.S. Civil War, is now a museum to remember our first capital. One of his prized assets is the Bible Washington used to take office supplies (one that the president wanted to use Bartlett in The West Wing ")
Walk along the famous Wall Street, where many have never been raped by so few (written over five years), we at Trinity Church, where many come to pray after losing all their savings in the street. Built in 1696, the church has undergone many falls on Wall Street. People buried include Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton.
Many people we talked to visit the Cathedral of St. John the Divine. Fortunately, we followed his advice. Launched in 1892, this Gothic house of worship more than two football fields in length. The cathedral is not yet complete, but still spectacular. Each set Stained glass has a different theme: poetry, medicine, law, etc. is standing inside a great humbling experience to do missed. Around the altar are chapels, which is reserved for local artists to present their work. At this stage, children from schools Cathedral have their works on the screen.
San Juan is a short trip Bus Grant's Tomb, where he and his wife was at rest. The interior is similar to the tomb of Napoleon in Paris. Mrs.Grant chose New York because the people was good for them, after he had become a penny. The tomb is located high in the palisades overlooking Riverside Park and Hudson River.
Near the tomb is Sukaru Park, so named because the many cherry trees within the park which were donated by the Japanese Government. The park is a statue of General Daniel Butterworth, composer of Taps (Remember the Berkeley Plantation, Virginia). He looks at the tomb of Grant, his eyes fixed on the sacred soil.
Across the street from the Riverside Church, a Presbyterian church is remarkable for its carillon bells in the seventies. The nave of the church is Gothic, but not so great in San Juan. The church is part of the Union Theological Seminary, which is connected to the University of Colombia is also present in the neighborhood.
We got on the train back to the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt. It is a great house at 28 East 20th Street. The original house was demolished and rebuilt one was erected as planned similar design to others in the neighborhood. Her sisters still alive instructed on floor plans and layout of furniture in the house because he was in agreement. Roosevelt, born into a wealthy family, was suffering asthma. After losing his first wife and mother in the same week, he moved to North Dakota to meet itself. There He finds his love of nature and the independence of the ordinary working man. To prove his manhood, he wanted a war, when he battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, Cuba. The Spaniards were accused by the collapse. Has the Rough Riders in San Antonio, Texas and the rest is history. From his office said that the construction of the Panama Canal has been his greatest achievement. Even if he was an instigator of war and empire builder, was the first American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for helping end the Russo Japanese.
A little further south lies the village of Greenwich, not all the bohemian atmosphere that was in the 60s. It is still a growing field of restaurants, small theaters, interesting shops and people watching. Washington Square, near the official entrance area still has its editor and chess tables with games going constantly.
Arrested for Lincoln Center and bought tickets for the new morning York City Ballet performance. Lincoln Center at 64th and Broadway is a performing arts complex in New York. Accompanying a beautiful fountain that was a focal point in many movies are the Metropolitan Opera House in mind, Avery Fisher Hall on the right, home of the Philharmonic Orchestra of New York and New York State Theater on the left, the home of the New York City Ballet.

Requested John Lithgow, star of "Third Rock from the Sun "write a story for the ballet. Mr Lithgow has written many books for children and seized the opportunity. His story is a child, Oliver, locked in a natural history museum for the night. Animals come to life but the people are as their personal lives. The costumes give clues of animals represented and the account given parts to perfection. Mr. Lithgow serving as narrator and the elephant, the school nurse Oliver. The ballet is very entertaining, both in its humor and choreography.

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
