New York: a bite of the Big Apple

Take a piece or more shoot at the Big Apple. We take New Jersey Transit New York. Modern bus company was the Port Authority on 42nd Street. The Port Authority is one of many ground transportation centers in New York. Most of the buses is important and can make connections with almost all subway lines to walk through a tunnel of Times Square. Hubs are Grand Central Station, connected with the Times Square subway station Penn transport, travel two stops on the subway. The Manhattan subway system is the transport faster and more efficient on the island, with stops in four to six blocks each other houses. System used by the confusion with many independent companies designated by different letters: IRT, BMT, etc. Today, the roads are designated The colors and numbers or letters. A map shows all roads and points of connection. Metro system is now easy to follow. There is also strong against the perception some people. Some known facts about the system. The tunnels go at least eight floors below the ground. There are miles of labyrinths, including tubes themselves, where homeless people have made their homes. For a line from Manhattan to Queens, the tracks, literally, in the water under the East River. Even the engineers do not know how solve the problem. The money raised at the counters is sent by a special train that makes the system. The trains are very long, at least ten cars long. More cars are banks on the sides, leaving the car idle for more. There are three dots on each side of the car, allowing the entry rapid evacuation. The runners are called belts, because they insist on the straps that hang from the ceiling during handling. After the last unit of the next stage of the panels on the car. Some even have a route map and the current location of the vehicle on board.

New York consists of five departments: Reyes (Manhattan), Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn, and Richmond (Staten Island). All districts are connected by underground or train or bus, with the exception of Staten Island is served by ferry famous. Learn more about the different areas we visited.

I went for dessert at Cafe Lalo, where part of the movie "You've Got Mail" was filmed. Then Broadway walk in Fairfield market, a few blocks south of the famous Zabar's, a supermarket and kitchen appliances store (but much more: an experiment). I was surprised by the variety of fresh produce and meat, fish and poultry prices relatively low. The streets are very narrow in the Manhattan store and space is a bonus. Buy an unlimited pass $ 21.00 for Metro this week, and riding a bus to downtown on Broadway. Media Center on drums, the tip of Manhattan.

Uptown is a city north or across the East River (East Side) or the Hudson River (west side). What a wonderful way to see the safe and the city. We by Columbus Circle, at the border of Central Park, Julliard, Lincoln Center, theater district, and the blade when the bustling Times Square. The bus was on 42nd Street to the east and approved by the Public Library, Grand Central Station, and ended at the Palais des Nations.

While the fate that we have here, we visited the famous United Nations building. Mati from Senegal in West Africa, was our guide and was very well informed about the functioning of the UN. This is not a paper tiger some claimed. This forum is valid for all nations the world to discuss issues of common interest: military conflicts, landmines, disease, hunger, trade, etc. Once these tigers are real people who want to control other nations, or to obtain great benefits by promoting these problems. Some rooms have been used namely the Security Council and the Council for Economic Development and Social Justice. They were in session.

The bus from downtown Lexington Avenue goes further. En route, we passed through Chinatown, the Bowery, Little Italy, Greenwich Village skirt, ending at City Hall. There are many different types of restaurants in New York you can eat a different one every night and is repeated throughout life.

Today we headed underground. Initially, went to the northern tip of Manhattan to Fort Tryon Park Uptown. This is the point above Manhattan, overlooking the Hudson and East rivers. In the northernmost point of the park is cloister museum. The museum consists of only five medieval cloisters saved from demolition of buildings in Europe, and many shrines and artifacts. Some of the statues has been used as a scarecrow by farmers, while others were found in batteries. A room in circulation is the Unicorn Tapestries, "speaking of hunting, death and resurrection of the unicorn, a symbol of Jesus Christ. The tapestry contains over one hundred different species of plant tissues medieval stories. Are impressive, not only for its beauty but also the textures of the armor.

We went to Times Square then jumped on the road to No. 7 train to Queens and Flushing Meadows, home of the World's Fair in 1963 with his sculpture world is huge. On each side of the station at Shea Stadium, home of the baseball team New York Mets and Arthur Ashe Stadium, site of the tennis tournament, U.S. Open. Back to the train to Times Square and W on the road Coney Island at the tip of Brooklyn. We ate a Nathan's famous hot dog. Not can be compared to Chicago Vienna hot dog. The amusement park is closed, open only on weekends while school is in session. The famous rollercoaster Cyclone roller, just shut up. With a growling stomach this lack synchronization. Open daily from 4:00 am until 12:00. They do not much resemble mountains. But appearances are deceptive. This baby shake, shake and roll. I wanted to see if you still feel the same the last time that was mounted in 1963. But it takes one day later, that never came.

This day was reserved to visit the grand dame of New York, the Statue of Liberty. Take the train to Battery Park at the end lower Manhattan, buying tickets at Castle Clinton, once a guardian of the harbor fort, then a concert hall (the American debut of Jenny Lind), then a port of entry for immigration, and now the ticket of Our Lady. Circular, it is normal to adopt a fortress for access to greet the great lady. In fifteen minutes the boat to the governors of the island, one can imagine the awe and a deep feeling of great joy to millions of immigrants who initially located in the Strait Verrazano, in New York Harbor. The statue, a gift from France over a hundred years, is another five-year high port security. The pedestal rises eleven stories and the lady is 151 feet wide. Again security is very tight and not allowed either in the museum pedestal, or the crown. But being in his presence was called in Hebrew, "Dayenu" (It would have been enough.)

The shipment is again at Ellis Island was built in 1892 for the treatment of the great flood of immigrants. Two of our ancestors arrived before that date, could pass through Castle Clinton, AKA, gardens or any other port of entry. Charlie Walker has been our guide Ranger. Once a sergeant, has a voice to match. He also lost his vocation to the scene, because the trip was more of a live presentation with a gallery characters in a story boring facts and figures. He really loves his job. The experience of Ellis Island was reserved for third-class passengers. Remember that movie "Titanic", the arch was the lowest of the low. Passengers in first class and second treatment on board the ship. After landing, the ship proceeded to Ellis Island. He ran the third class the challenge of the eyes of inspectors. I remember the images of the Holocaust, where prisoners were "selected." If you walk funny, protested, or seemed fragile, the clothes were marked with chalk to the inspection and further processing. Many of these people fleeing tyrannical regimes, and were terrified by uniformed men. Here in America, has been controlled by men more fit. Families were separated, while the transformation carried out, men on one side, women and children through 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 to their countries of origin. Those remaining trains headed west from New Jersey or a trip to New York, digging land or in other jobs to break back.

Broadway came back to Battery Park. At the entrance was a sculpture of the Globe of Peace was established at the World Trade Center. Miraculously survived tragedy and is now at the foot of Broadway to see an eternal flame. Although damaged, the world stops for peace in this world.

Across the district, which resembles a war zone, barricades and armed police patrols in the area. Our goal was Federal Hall corner Nassau and Broad Streets Wall. Federal Hall was the first U.S. capital. Here, Washington was sworn in as president and Congress meets. Building has long been demolished. In its place is a neoclassical building designed outside the Parthenon and Pantheon-like interior. Used as an outpost, while the custodian of the gold reserve of the United States during the Civil War, now a museum to remember our first capital. One of his most prized possessions is the Bible that Washington has used its opening (the one that wanted to use President Bartlett on The West Wing ")

Walking along the famed Wall Street, where they have never been raped by so few (five years) joined the Trinity Church, where many come to pray after losing their savings in the street. Built in 1696, the church has withstood many accidents on Wall Street. Those buried included Alexander Hamilton and Robert Fulton.

Many people we talked to visit the Cathedral of San Juan de Dios. Fortunately, we have followed his advice. Released in 1892 This Gothic house of worship is more than two football fields in length. The cathedral is still incomplete, but still spectacular. Each set has a theme window different: poetry, medicine, law, etc. in a large permanent humbling experience not to be missed. Around the altar of the chapel is reserved for local artists to show their work. At that time, the school children of the cathedral of his works have on the screen.

San Juan is a short bus ride from the tomb of Grant, where he and his wife was at rest. The interior is like Napoleon's tomb in Paris. Mrs.Grant chose New York because these people happened to them after which had become a penny. The tomb perched on fences Riverside Park overlooking the Hudson River.

Beside the grave is Sukaru Park, named the large number of trees in the park cherry, were donated by the Japanese government. The park is a statue of General Daniel Butterworth, author of taps (Remember the Berkeley Plantation, Virginia). He is looking at Grant's Tomb, keep your eyes on this blessed land.

Across the street from Riverside Church, Presbyterian known for its great bells seventies. The nave of the church is Gothic, but not so much of San Juan. The church is part of the Union Theological Seminary, which is connected to Columbia University is also nearby.

Stir the train back to the place where Theodore Roosevelt. This is a stone house big red in 28 East 20 Street. The original house was demolished and built a reconstruction design similar schemes to others in the neighborhood. Her sisters still alive instructed in the floor plans and layout of furniture in the house, and I had chosen. Roosevelt was born into a wealthy family, he suffered from asthma. After losing her first wife and mother in the same week, moved to North Dakota to find. There he found his love for nature and independence of the use of the common man. For prove their manhood, he wanted a war, which he got when the battleship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, Cuba. Spanish were accused by the collapse. Has the Rough Riders in San Antonio, Texas, and the rest is history. In his presidency, said construction of the Panama Canal has been your greatest achievement. Even if he was a warmonger and empire builder, was the first American to receive the Nobel Peace Prize for helping end the Russo Japanese.

A short distance south of Greenwich Village, and bohemian atmosphere that was in the 60s. Continue Another area where more and more restaurants, small theaters, shops and people watching. Washington Square, near the official entrance into the region always has its chips and chess games with still ongoing.

Stopped by the Lincoln Center and bought tickets the concert in New York City Ballet in the morning. Lincoln Center, 64 Broadway New York is the complex of the performing arts. Accompanying a beautiful fountain that was a focal point in many movies are the Metropolitan Opera House, Avery Fisher Hall in front of the line, the home of the New York Philharmonic and New York State Theater the right home to the New York City Ballet.

Attending the Ballet. The program Concerto Barocco, Symphony, Symphony three movements, the carnival and the animals. The music was composed by Bach, Stravinsky and Saint-Saens, respectively. The George Balanchine ballet is notable for its precision and beauty in the details and technique. Today toes shoes must be returned to the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago.

New production of a ballet in the old program today, the Carnival of the Animals. Choreographer Christopher Wheeldon is a great talent at the age of twenty. Asked 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, while housed in a natural history museum at night. Animals come to life, but look like the people in your personal life. The costumes give advice animals represented and the story takes the different parties to work together seamlessly. Mr. Lithgow plays the role of narrator and the elephant, the school nurse Oliver. The ballet is very entertaining, both in its humor and choreography.
