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 |
