New YorkIntroductionNew York City has been named many times. The first name, Mannahatta, orManhattan, was given by the American Indians. When the Dutch moved in,it was called New Amsterdam. 1664 was the first time it was called NewYork by British settlers. Around the 1920’s, New York was called the BigApple by actors and musicians. In 1971, the nickname gained publicity whenused to enhance tourism. Manhattan is an island 13.4 miles long and 2.3miles at its widest. Finding your way is simple as roads are laid out in a gridpattern above 14th Street. Avenues run North to South, and streets run Eastto West. One-way 5th Avenue marks the dividing line of the East and Westside. Below 14th Street, use map, as this area was built on before the gridpattern was established.

Why “The Big Apple”...

15

International Style

Architect Philip Johnson and art historian Henry-Russel Hitchcock described the exhibitionof modern European architecture held atMoMA in 1932 as “international style.” ButEuropean modernism was not fully acceptedby New York architects until 1950. CiticorpCenter at Lexington Avenue, between 53rd and54th streets, with its 46 aluminum paneled stories, is a dramatic contemporary example.

Art Deco Style

European architectural styles such as FrenchArt Deco, Viennese Secession, and GermanExpressionism influenced Manhattan architecture,of which the Chrysler Building is a stunningexample, as is the General Electric Building,570 Lexington Avenue at 51st Street (formerlythe RCA Building), and its Art Deco LowerPlaza. Look for ornamental stonework, gilding,and the glazed ceramic work of the spire.

Eclectic Style of the First Skyscrapers

Turn-of-the-century skyscrapers combined elements of neo-Classicism and neo-Gothicstyles 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.

New York At - A - Glance

In 1609, Henry Hudson arrived at what is nowthe Hudson River, and by 1647, PeterStuyvesant was governor of the Dutch colony.The first governor of New York was appointedin 1702, and in 1789, George Washington tookthe presidential oath in New York City, whichbecame the nation’s first capital. The Statue ofLiberty was constructed in 1886.

Street and Place Names

New York’s street and place names reflect thenationalities of its settlers, from Dutch wordslike Harlem, Gramercy, and Brooklyn (afterBreuckelen, 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 theirmark.

Why “The Big Apple”

“The Big Apple” phrase represents New YorkCity as world famous for its cultural and performing arts entertainment. In the 1930’s,jazz musicians expanded the name of a HarlemNightclub, “The Big Apple”, to include thewhole neighborhood and the phrase eventuallyspread throughout the city. “The Big Apple”phrase resurfaced in the early 1970’s and wassuccessfully utilized to promote tourism by theNew York Convention and Visitors Bureau.

Lincoln Center

The centerpiece of Manhattan’s cultural life,the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts ishome to the Metropolitan Opera, the New YorkPhilharmonic, and the New York City Ballet,founded by George Balanchine in 1948. One ofthe biggest concert and performance venues inthe world, Lincoln Center hosts more than fivemillion people attending three thousandevents each year.

Museums

New York’s museums hold many of the world’s treasures. The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA)has some of the most famous impressionistand modern paintings. The MetropolitanMuseum of Art, the Whitney Museum, theGuggenheim, the Museum of American FolkArt, the New Museum of Contemporary Artand many others contribute to the cultural lifeof New York and the enrichment of visitors.

Times Square

Times Square has long been regarded as thehub of Manhattan nightlife, especially on NewYear’s Eve when thousands gather to celebrate.The heart of the theatre district, with its famousneon signs, features such landmarks as theBooth and Shubert Theatres, the Lyceum, andSardi’s restaurant. The New York Times wasformerly located here...hence the name.

Rockefeller Center

A complex of nineteen buildings, RockefellerCenter houses Radio City Music Hall, NBC,General Electric, (the former RCA building) and a multiplicity of businesses, with shops,fountains, cafes, and statues – notably thetrademark golden Prometheus – overlooking aterrace and outdoor skating rink. The brainchildof John D. Rockefeller Jr., Rockefeller Center isa city within a city.

United Nations

The United Nations, on the bank of the East River between 42nd and 48th streets, covers more than fifteen acres and houses aninternational parliament with delegates fromaround the world. Guided tours include theSecretariat Building, the domed GeneralAssembly Hall, and the Conference Wing. TheUnited Nations, with its peacekeeping mission,was created in London following World War II.

Empire State Building

New York’s landmark skyscraper built in 1929with a height of 1,250 feet was, until the 1970’s,the tallest building in the world. Constructionproceeded at the rate of more than four floorsper week and, today, the building offers viewsof four states from observatories on the 86thand 102nd floors. Lobby exhibits feature KingKong and Wonders of the World.

Brooklyn Bridge

The famous bridge linking Manhattan withBrooklyn was designed by German-born JohnA. Roebling, whose trip on an ice-bound ferryinspired the idea. Construction began in 1869and was carried out by Roebling’s son anddaughter-in-law, taking sixteen years to complete.The master mechanic was the first person tocross the river, on a steam-driven traveler rope.

Wall Street

The hub of the financial world, Wall Street andits frenzied trading floors rule the economicfortunes of multitudes with nervously watchedtransactions of the New York Stock Exchange(between New and Broad streets), where franticbrokers wheel and deal. It all began with theButtonwood Agreement signed in 1792 by agroup of stock dealers conducting businessbeneath the trees.

Statue of Liberty

A universal symbol of freedom, the 152-footcast iron statue is a gift of the French people toAmerica, commemorating the 1778 alliancebetween France and the United States. Thenational monument is reachable by ferry, andvisitors can take an elevator to the observationdeck at the top of the pedestal. The crown isreachable by walking up 168 steps.

Post Modernism Style

In vogue from the 1970’s, but fueled by theboom of the 1980’s, Post Modernism gave skyscrapers a new dimension, as well as anantidote to the International Style. Architectsand real estate developers saw Post Modernismas a way to add symbolic significance to largecorporate buildings. An important example:the sleek buildings of the World FinancialCenter located at Battery Park City.
