Federal Hall is a historic building at 26 Wall Street in the Financial

District of Manhattan, New York City. The name refers

to two structures on the site: a Federal

style building completed in 1703, and the current

Greek Revival-style building completed in 1842.

Last November my girlfriend and I went to New York for a week. Since we came home, we haven't stopped thinking about going back again.

 

Here's to Gotham City!

God bless the New York Stock Exchange

Union Square Park (also known as Union Square) is an important and historic intersection in New York City, located where Broadway and the Bowery came together in the early 19th century; its name does not celebrate the federal union but rather denotes the fact that "here was the union of the two principal thoroughfares of the island" and the confluence of several trolley lines, as in the term "union station." Today it is bounded by 14th Street to the south, Union Square West on the west side, 17th Street on the north, and on the east Union Square East, which links together Broadway and Park Avenue South to Fourth Avenue and the continuation of Broadway. The park is under the aegis of the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

 

Neighborhoods around the park are the Flatiron District to the north, Chelsea to the west, Greenwich Village and New York University to the south, and Gramercy to the east. Also nearby is The New School. The eastern side of the square is dominated by the Zeckendorf Towers, the south side by One Union Square (1999) voted New York's Ugliest Building by a panel of architects assembled by the New York Post. It features a kinetic wall sculpture and digital clock expelling bursts of steam, titled Metronome.

 

Union Square is noted for its impressive equestrian statue of George Washington, modeled by Henry Kirke Brown and unveiled in 1856, the first public sculpture erected in New York since the equestrian statue of George III in 1770 and the first American equestrian sculpture cast in bronze. Other statues in the park include the Marquis de Lafayette, modeled by Frédéric-Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated at the Centennial, July 4, 1876, Abraham Lincoln, modeled by Henry Kirke Brown (1870), and the James Fountain (1881), a Temperance fountain with the figure of Charity who empties her jug of water, aided by a child; it was donated by Daniel Willis James and sculpted by Adolf Donndorf. A newer addition is a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in the southwest corner of the park, added in 1986, to mark Union Square's history of social activism.

Greenwich Village, or ‘The Village,’ is not only a mecca for creative people, but also for young people and students. The streets of the Village are a great place to walk around. You’ll get the feeling of a small town. Walk by little bakeries and smell the fresh baked pastries. Do you like the vintage clothing stores? There are plenty of stores you can visit.

Het eerste dat de vele immigranten die vanuit Europa naar New York stroomden van de Verenigde Staten te zien kregen was het Vrijheidsbeeld. Het beroemde beeld was een geschenk van de Franse bevolking ter gelegenheid van de viering van de honderdste verjaardag van de onafhankelijkheid van de VS

Yeah, right... Deer, sure. Bears; not as likely, but possible. Moose? Too far south.
