NEW YORK

One of the largest cities in the world, New York extends 36 miles from north to south. It is situated at the mouth of Hudson River. New York was founded by the Dutch. It’s interesting to know that Manhattan Island – the central part of New York – was bought from the local Indians for 24 dollars by the Dutch. For many times New York was recaptured by the Dutch and English, but open conflict between the Americans and English broke out in 1770 with the battle of Golden Hill which is considered to be the first action of American Revolution. On July 9, 1776, the copy of the Declaration of Independence was read to the revolutionary troops in New York in the presence of George Washington.

In the eighteenth century New York grew into the largest city of the United States of America. Now New York is a great seaport, the leading textile and the financial centre of the country.

Manhattan Island with the Wall Street district is the heart of America’s business and culture and the city of sky-scrapers. The highest of them is the 102-story Empire State Building. South of Central Park there lie Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, the shopping districts and the United Nations Building. In Manhattan at Broadway and 116 Street is the campus of Columbia University, the biggest educational establishment of New York and near it are houses of Harlem. There is not one Harlem but three: Spanish, Italian and Negro Harlem. Negro Harlem is the most overcrowded and its shabby houses contrast with affluent houses on Sugar Hill to the north, where the most prosperous people live.

When you come to New York, you see lots of cars, big and small, black and yellow, old and modern; you don’t see any trees or flowers in the streets, but only cars. You’ll see and hear advertisements everywhere. There is no getting away from them. Advertisements fill the newspapers and cover the walls, they are on menu cards and match-boxes, they are shouted through loud speakers and shown in the cinemas.

New York’s theatre district is often referred to as “Broadway”, but most of the theatres are actually are located on the side streets near Times Square. They are active year-round with top-stars performing in various plays.

It is easy to find one’s way in New York. Avenues, except Broadway, run north and south; streets run east and west and are numbered. The building numbers get higher as you move away from the Fifth Avenue and towards the rivers.

Subway (the metro is called “subway” in America) provides the cheapest and fastest way to travel. There are buses on most of the avenues and on the principal streets.
