Take a bite or several bites from the Big Apple. So we took the New Jersey Transit to New York City. The modern coach goes to the 42nd Street Port Authority. The Port Authority is one of the many knots of land transport in New York. Most of your major bus companies and we are able to connect to almost all subway lines to make a tunnel to walk to Times Square. The hubs are connected to Grand Central Railway Station, subway shuttle to Times Square and Penn Station,a round of two-stop subway. The subway system in Manhattan is the fastest and most effective form of transport on the island, in blocks of fifty-five stations with each other. The system used to be called confusion with many independent lines by different letters: IRT, BMT, etc. Today, the various paths are indicated by colors and numbers or letters. A map showing all the routes and connection points. The subway system now is very easy to follow. It isalso safe, unlike the perception of some people. Here are some little known facts about the system. The tunnels go at least eight floors below ground. There are miles of mazes, even in the same pipes, where the homeless have made their home. On a line from Manhattan to Queens, continues to lead in water, literally under the East River. Also, engineers do not know how to fix the problem. The money is raised from the ticket sent by a special train runningthe system. The trains are very long, at least ten cars in length. Most cars are on the sides, as to leave the car standing. There are three outputs on each side of the car, allowing rapid entry and exit. The drivers are called because tether ribbon hanging from the ceiling to keep driving. The latest cars to the next stop sign on the car. Some even have a map of the route and the actual position of the car onMap.
The city of New York has five boroughs: Kings (Manhattan), Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Richmond (Staten Island) has maintained. All parts of the city, the ferry connected by underground or train or bus, with the 'except Staten Island, famous, being the'. More to the different areas when they visit.
Ching desert at Cafe Lalo, where part of the movie "You've Got Mail" was filmed. Then we went to Broadway Market in Fairfield, a few blocks south of the famousZabars, a grocery store and kitchen equipment (but much more experience). I was surprised by the variety of fresh vegetables and meat, fish and poultry and low prices. The aisles are very narrow in the shop, due to the fact that space is at a premium in Manhattan. Buy an unlimited Metro pass, $ 21.00 for a week, and get on a bus bound to the center of Broadway. Inner city means to the battery, the southernmost point of Manhattan.
Uptown is Northbound and cross-citywith the East River (east side) or the Hudson River (west side). What a wonderful way to try and secure the city. We drove through Columbus Circle, the edge of Central Park, Julliard, Lincoln Center, the theater district, and, of course, sparkling vibrant Times Square. The bus on East 42nd Street and went through the Public Library, Grand Central Station, and ended at the United Nations building.
As long as the fate of us there, we visited the famous palace of the United Nations. By MatiSenegal in West Africa, was our guide was very knowledgeable about how the United Nations. It is not the paper tiger that some people say it is. This is a true forum for all the nations of the world to discuss common problems: military conflicts, landmines, disease, hunger, trade, etc. Maybe the real tigers are those that control other nations or to make huge profits that the promotion of these problems. Some of the rooms were in use, namely the Security Council and theCouncil for economic and social justice. They were at the meeting.
The Lexington Avenue bus downtown continues. On the road we went through Chinatown, Bowery, Little Italy, Greenwich Village, lined, and ended at City Hall. There are so many different types of restaurants in New York that you eat every night and another can not be repeated for the entire life.
Today we rode the subways. Before we went to Uptown on the northern tip of Manhattan Tryon Park and theFortress. This is the highest point in Manhattan, overlooking both the Hudson and East River. In the northernmost point of the park is the Museum Courtyard. This unique museum consists of five medieval monasteries saved from demolished buildings in Europe, together with numerous chapels and artifacts. Some of the statues was used as scarecrows used by farmers, while others were found in rubbish heaps. One important area is the Unicorn tapestries depicting the death of the chase;Unicorn symbol of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The tapestries are over one hundred different species of plants in medieval history are intertwined. They are simply breathtaking, not only for their beauty, but also the textures of the fabric.
We came back to Times Square and then hopped on the subway in Queens and Route # 7 Flushing Meadows, the site of the World's Fair of 1963, with its imposing sculpture in the world. On both sides of the station's Shea Stadium, home of the NYMets baseball team, and Arthur Ashe Stadium, home of the U.S. Open tennis tournament. Back on the train from Times Square and on Route W to Coney Island to the tip of Brooklyn. We ate at Nathan's World Famous Hot Dog. You can not compare to a Chicago Hot Dog Vienna. The amusement park was closed, open only on weekends when school is in session. The cyclone, its famous roller coaster, had just closed. Thank you to our stomachs growling for this lack of timing. E 'is open daily from 12:00 to04:00. The track does not look much. But looks can be deceiving. This baby shakes, rattles and rolls. I wanted to see if there was still the same emotion when I was the last time I drove in 1963. But that was a day later that never came.
This day was reserved for the Grande Dame of New York City to visit the Statue of Liberty. Take the train to Battery Park at the tip of lower Manhattan, we bought our tickets at Castle Clinton, once a fortress to guard the door, thena concert hall (the American debut of Jenny Lind), then a country of immigration port of entry, and now the box office for Madonna. Circular in design, it is fitting that one pass through a fortress, in order to gain access to greet the great lady. The 15-minute boat ride to the Board of Governors of Iceland, it is easy Harbor we wonder and deep feelings of overwhelming joy of millions of immigrants who first introduced the York during his trip through the Verrazano Narrows in New. L 'Statue, donated by France over a century ago, stands on another strong, guarded by five, the door. The base rises eleven stories and the lady herself is 151 meters. Once again, security is very tight and visitors are not allowed in the museum, on the podium or in the crown. But it was in his presence as in Hebrew, said: "Dayenu" (there would have been enough).
Entry into the boat we went to Ellis Island, built in 1892the great flood of immigration process. Both of our ancestors came from before that date may come across Castle Clinton, AKA, gardens or any other port of entry. Charlie Walker Ranger was our guide. As soon as an instructor, who must adapt to a vote. He lost his calling on stage, because the tour was over he gave a lively presentation, with a cast of characters like a boring list of facts and figures. He definitely loves his job. The experience of EllisIceland was the class reserved for passengers in third class. Remembering the film "Titanic", was the lowest third of the lower class. The first and second class passengers were processed on board. After she fell, the ship sailed to Ellis Island. The third grade class was the gauntlet in the eyes of inspectors. I have been using images of the Holocaust, remember where they were "selected" prisoners. If you went funny, complained or seemed fragile, was the clothingChalk marked for further review and editing. Many of these people are fleeing tyrannical regimes and were afraid of men in uniform. Here in America have been ordered around by several workers. Families were separated during the treatment took place, men on one side, women and children from across the room. The good news is that the process usually takes less than five hours and only 2% of the twelve million immigrants have been deported back to their homes. Those whotook the train was westbound from New Jersey or remained buried in New York, the subway or other work processes of the bones.
Back to Battery Park, we went to Broadway. Peace sculpture at the entrance of the Globe, who was in World Trade Center Plaza. Miraculously he survived the tragedy and is now at the foot of Broadway watched over by an eternal flame. Although damaged, the world stops for peace in this world.
Went through the financial district,that looks like a war zone, barricades and armed police patrolling the area. Our goal was Federal Hall at the corners of Nassau, Broad and Wall streets. Federal Hall was the first U.S. capital. Here Washington was sworn in as president and the Congress met. The building is torn down long ago. In its place is a neoclassical building, designed, like the Parthenon, the Pantheon-like domestic and foreign. Used as a customs house and later as a repository for gold reserves in the U.S.The civil war, is now a museum to commemorate our first capital. One of their most valuable assets is the Bible, which Washington used his inauguration (which wanted to use the President Bartlett on The West Wing ").
Driving along the famous Wall Street, where so many have never been raped (written over five years) by so few, we went to Trinity Church, where prayers too, after losing their life savings on the road. Built in 1696, the church has survived many crashes on Wall Street.Famous people are buried, Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton.
Many people told us about your visit to St. John the Divine Cathedral. Fortunately we have his advice. Started in 1892, this Gothic church for more than two football fields long. The cathedral is still unfinished, but still spectacular. Each set of glass windows has a different theme: poetry, medicine, law, etc., erected in the vast interior is a humbling experience not to be missed. Around theHigh altar are chapels, one that is reserved for local artists to showcase their work. At that time, the children of the Cathedral of the school presented their works of art.
From St. John's is a short bus ride to Grant's Tomb, where he and his wife lay in rest. The interior is similar to the tomb of Napoleon in Paris. Mrs.Grant chose New York because the people were friendly to them after they had become destitute. The tomb is situated high on the side of the Palisades overlooking the Hudson River and the ParkRiver.
Adjacent is the tomb Sukaru Park, because so many cherry trees in the park, which were donated by the Japanese government's behalf. The park is a statue of General Daniel Butterworth, composer of Taps (remember Berkeley Plantation in Virginia). He looks over Grant's Tomb, keep your eyes on that hallowed ground.
Across the street is Riverside Church, a Presbyterian church is known for its large bells of over seventy. The nave of the church isIn Gothic style, but not so great in San Giovanni. The church is part of the Union Theological Seminary, which is also associated with Columbia University in the district.
He jumped on the train back to the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt. This is a great brownstone at 28 East 20th Street. The original house was demolished and rebuilt was built after the construction plans of other similar neighborhood. Her sisters were still alive on the ground floor and instructionsthe furniture in the house where they said. Roosevelt, was born into a wealthy family, he suffered from asthma. After losing his first wife and mother in the same week, he moved to North Dakota to find themselves. There is once again discovered his love for nature and the independence of the common working people. To prove his manhood, he longed for a war that was obtained when the battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, Cuba The Spanish were responsible for the destruction done. E 'wasThe Rough Riders at San Antonio, Texas, and the rest is history. His presidency, said that the construction of the Panama Canal Its greatest success. Even if he was a warmonger and empire builder, became the first American awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his help in ending the Russo-Japanese War.
A short distance away lies south of Greenwich Village, the bohemian atmosphere was not quite in the 60s. It 's still a thriving area of restaurants, theaters, interestingto monitor transactions and people. Washington Square, the quasi-official entry for the area, yet his checkers and chess tables set with games is constantly in progress.
Stopped by Lincoln Center and bought tickets for the matinee New York City Ballet. Lincoln Center, Broadway and 64th Performing Arts Complex in New York City. Accompanying a beautiful fountain, which was a focal point in many films, the Metropolitan Opera House have died before, Avery FisherHall on the right side, home of the New York Philharmonic and New York State Theater on the left side, home of the New York City Ballet. Just outside the horseshoe Julliard School of Music.
He attended the ballet. The program includes Concerto Barocco, Symphony, Symphony in Three Movements and stopped Carnival of the Animals. Music by Bach, Stravinsky, Saint-Saens and in any case. The Ballet under George Balanchine was famous for its precision and beauty of detail and the technique noted. Todaytoe shoe that should go for the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago.
A new production of a ballet old man was scheduled for today and the carnival. The choreographer is Christopher Wheeldon, a great talent at the age of 29 has asked John Lithgow, star of "Third Rock from the Sun," a story to write for the ballet. Mr. Lithgow has written numerous books for children, and took the opportunity. His story is about a boy, Oliver, ended in a museum of natural historyfor the night. Live animals, but look like people from his personal life. The costumes give clues to the animals depicted and the story brings the different parts fit together perfectly. Mr. Lithgow serves as narrator, a part of the elephant, the school nurse of Oliver. This ballet is great fun for both the humor and choreography.
