EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN The oldest sports arena in the New York metropolitan area, Madison Square Garden, or MSG, was erected in 1968 to accommodate huge events for the New York public. Every year, MSG hosts hundreds of musical artists ranging from U2 to Lady Gaga. It is also the home of the National Hockey League’s New York Rangers and the National Basketball Association’s New York Knicks. MSG also has a 5,600-seat theater, which makes it home for annual performances of A Christmas Carol musical as well as other live theater events, concerts and even the graduation of New York University students.

FACT: Madison Square Garden, which opened in its current location in 1968, replaced the original Pennsylvania Station. Many architectural critics of the Madison Square Garden deplored the building so much that within a decade of MSG’s opening, New York instituted landmark preservation laws to discontinue any future demolition of New York landmarks—including Grand Central Terminal.

TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL After 9/11, famed actor Robert DeNiro knew he needed to bring a new energy back to downtown Manhattan. In 2002, he and his partners launched the TriBeCa Film Festival. The festival, which hosts the work of new and old filmmakers alike, brings film lovers, artists and novices to the Triangle Below Canal Street (TriBeCa) to enjoy the cinema arts. It also gives the local community a chance to showcase its wonderful restaurants and shops.

When it began, the TriBeCa Film Festival was a way to experience one of the many facets of New York—resilience in the face of difficult times—but now it is more a celebration of the New York community and the films it loves.

Location of theaters and events may vary.

For more information, visit: www.tribecafilm.com/festival

THE HIGH LINE PARK Take a walk through the High Line, one of New York’s newest parks. Once the West Side Subway Line in Manhattan, the High Line is a refurbished and remodeled subway trackturned-park.

As the rest of the project continues to develop, visit its progress and watch one of the oldest parts of New York City be turned into a vibrant, eco-friendly promenade with views of the New York and New Jersey skylines.

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

MACY’S FOURTH OF JULY FIREWORKS SHOW The Fourth of July is not just about patriotism and the celebration of the birth of the United States of America—it’s also about fireworks.

The Macy’s Annual Fourth of July Fireworks Show is a nationally televised event, but because you’re a New Yorker, you can get a front-row seat.

Celebrate the largest fireworks display in the nation by finding a spot on the Hudson River and taking in an amazing show of what some call a “Golden Mile” of red, green and gold sparks falling from the sky. You’ll also be able to hear music by the New York Philharmonic and some of America’s popular musical artists.

Make sure you arrive early and grab a spot.

This is the one of the greatest shows New York puts on each year, and you won’t want to miss it.

EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES

BROOKLYN BRIDGE AND PROMENADE There is no better way to see the Lower East Side of New York in the summer than by taking a refreshing walk across the Brooklyn Bridge.

Completed in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge stretches across the East River from downtown Brooklyn to lower Manhattan. This bridge is part of the history of not only New York but also of the NYU Polytechnic School of Engineering.

Alumnus James Wood developed the machinery to produce the steel cables that keep the bridge standing, making the Brooklyn Bridge the first suspension bridge in America. These same cables changed the skyline of every major city and eventually made cable-lift elevators possible.

Before you walk across to Manhattan, walk the Promenade or take in the view on one of the benches the way Woody Allen and Diane Keaton did in the film Manhattan. Near the Promenade, you can also find restaurants, shops and the beautiful cobblestone streets of Brooklyn Heights.

Subway access: A C

A or C to Columbia Heights at Middagh Street Fact: In 1973, Polytechnic’s alumni magazine was renamed Cable, honoring Polytechnic alum James Wood (’79), who developed machinery to produce the steel cables for the Brooklyn Bridge.

Each of the four main steel cables that suspends the bridge is composed of 5,434 steel wires.

More than 14,400 miles of steel wire connect these suspension cables to the bridge floor.
