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.

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.

New Greenwich Vil age, ChelsYork ea, Soho, & Little Italy 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.

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. Sightseeing

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.
