...New York City, the city that will never sleep; I had the chance to see the charming city with my friends last year. Even I spend a week in New York City, I barely scratch the beauty of the city. There are still countless of tourist spots I want to go, but do not have time to feel it one by one. Even I only see the small part of New York City, it strongly attracted me and it gives me the new experience which is much new compare to Lincoln. As I lived in Lincoln for a year, I experience the huge difference between the New York City and Lincoln. When I got to New York City, I cannot directly see the sky unlike Lincoln. All I see were a lots of tall buildings around me. I saw many of people going and left at a rapid pace on the streets. It makes me kind of nervous and excited. Unlike Lincoln, I can just lay down the bed all day and think nothing. The lifestyle in New York City seems so fast and hurry. Like if you do not go for it, you will lose your opportunities forever. Besides the lifestyle in New York City attracted me, there are many fascinating attractions. The Chinatown in Manhattan is so amazing, you can eat any Chinese food in here. As I have come to the United State of American for half year, my friend and I spent a half weeks in this big Chinatown. Chinatown has a huge amount of restaurants and ancient building. It has over half of the city’s Chinese population. My friend and I can just speak our native language most of time in here. We get intimacy from the Chinatown...

...New York New York or ‘The city where dreams come true’. Do dreams really come true there? I think so. I think you really have some opportunities there that you don’t have in for example Denmark. Most people today have been in New York. I haven’t yet. But I’m definitely planning to go there, before I take my last breath. If I wanted to be famous, be a great singer or actor, I would go there as fast as possible. I know some of my friends can’t wait to go to New York, and live out their dream. My hands were shaking. I was begging for this to happen. I really needed this role. If I didn’t get it, I could just as well go home. Home to cold, rainy Sweden. Please God! Let this happen for me. I was in the theatre for an audition, for the part as Oliver Twist. It was going to be played in the beginning of December, as their Christmas Musical. New York Times had already written an article about it. They said it would be the show of the year. It was now three months ago I came to New York. And nothing had changed. I had auditioned for several parts in all of New York. I had been in Manhattan, Queens, Bronx and even Staten Island. This was my last change. I was in Brooklyn now. Unfortunately with a whole lot of other people too. We were all here for the Oliver Twist role. “Christian Jorgenson” My heart stopped. That was my name that was called over the speakers! I was among the final ten actors. A sudden hope filled me from top to toe. They had said my last name wrong. Nobody here...

...Ronald Blaylock Writing II, Fall 2012 Rodgers Classification Paragraph The Yankee Fan New York is known as the place full of excitement and is also the home to the city that never sleeps. A city that offers much excitement in this state is The Bronx which is not that far from New York City. The Bronx is best known as the home of the New York Yankees and New Yankee Stadium. Although New York is known for many of their sports teams, this is the team almost everyone in New York supports having the colors navy blue and white pumping through their veins. Baseball in New York is almost a year round sport for this state because either the Yankees or the New York Mets make it to the postseason, so someone is always playing. When you first enter New Yankee Stadium or any ballpark you realize all the fans pouring in with food and cold drinks, as they walk to their seats to prepare for the ball game. At the ballgame there you will find the different types of fans: the ones who are just there for the fun, the Bandwagons and the Diehard fans.

...One of New York’s boroughs is Manhattan, that is densely populated and among one of the world’s major commercial, financial, and cultural centers. So many things to learn, see, and appreciate are found in this beautiful city. One place I would visit is New york, NY, because of its transportation, Manhattan, and places to acquire goods. First, New York’s transportation is truly admirable, due to its efforts, and well organization. A form of transportation in New York is the famous Subway trains, due to the majority of New Yorkers that use this form of transportation. These subway trains are various, leading to every direction. The connections, the information, everything is well planned so you know exactly when to pick up certain train, and where to get off of the underground form of transportation. The public transport of buses is on the streets, not underground like the subway trains. Buses are often used as connectors to the trains, due to some people needing to get to a train that is blocks away, or if the route of a train does not allow you to get close enough to your destination, then buses will take you there. It is perfectly timed that you are able to calmly leave the subway station, and get to your bus that will take you anywhere. Then the private transportation, as I love to call it, is what in New York are taxis, ubers, and...

...There is nothing more appealing than the idea of living high in the air, with only clouds and sunshine for company. Down below the streets bustle with an energy that defines Manhattan. However, for the select few who enjoy the privileges of penthouse living, all is serene and spacious up above. Have you ever wondered how it feels to wake up, take a glance outside and fix your eyes upon something as beautiful as the sunset outlining a perfect view of New York City at dusk? Can you attain a good view of the architectural greatness that is obtained by standing at the top of the highest building and gazing out the nearest window? Everyone has their preference in regards on how to gain the greatest views of downtown New York. In the opinion of the upper class population, one of the best views is from the finest penthouse on Fifth Avenue says the Time magazine. This particular domain is perhaps the most iconic of all living spaces. Penthouse living is a lifestyle sought after by many, relished by few. Not many homes can carry the charm of such breathtaking views along with the elegant settings, on dark gloomy nights, downtown serves as your cluster of stars, not to mention the beautiful skyline that is right outside your patio door. The property is strictly for those seeking the finest, in a prime location. The big Apple has always been a place to see and be seen. With this top floor, pent style arrangement the owner will become invisible in their own piece of property. Fifth...

...New York City The first native New Yorkers were the Lenape, an Algonquin people who hunted, fished and farmed in the area between the Delaware and Hudson rivers. Europeans began to explore the region at the beginning of the 16th century--among the first was Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian who sailed up and down the Atlantic coast in search of a route to Asia--but none settled there until 1624. That year, the Dutch West India Company sent some 30 families to live and work in a tiny settlement on “Nutten Island” (today’s Governors Island) that they called New Amsterdam. In 1626, the settlement’s governor general, Peter Minuit, purchased the much larger Manhattan Island from the natives for 60 guilders in trade goods such as tools, farming equipment, cloth and wampum (shell beads). Fewer than 300 people lived in New Amsterdam when the settlement moved to Manhattan. But it grew quickly, and in 1760 the city (now called New York City; population 18,000) surpassed Boston to become the second-largest city in the American colonies. Fifty years later, with a population 202,589, it became the largest city in the Western hemisphere. Today, more than 8 million people live in the city’s five boroughs. New York City in the 18th Century In 1664, the British seized New Amsterdam from the Dutch and gave it a new name: New York City. For the next century, the population of New York City grew larger and more diverse: It included immigrants from the Netherlands, England, France and Germany;...

...Laura Yancy AML-2590-01-12-SP February 26, 2012 Reaction Paper: Gangs of New York Gangs of New York is a movie directed by Martin Scorsese, which took place in 19th century America. In the movie, Scorsese brings to life 19th century Manhattan’s Five Points neighborhoods where nothing but gangs, tension, riots, discrimination, and unrest existed. It displays the violent rise of gangland powers in New York City at a time of massive political corruption and the city's evolution into a cultural melting pot. It was actually my first time watching the movie and I failed to grasp the entire concept, resulting in me having to watch it for a second time. The movie’s main characters are Leonardo DiCaprio as Amsterdam Vallon, the central character, Daniel Day-Lewis as Bill “The Butcher” Cutting, and Cameron Diaz as Jenny Everdeane. The lack of immediate assimilation into society by the Irish immigrants was one integral reason as to why separate factions were formed. As seen in The Gangs of New York five distinct "gangs" were formed as a result of Irish integration into society. The Nativist's, led by Bill the Butcher, are not fond of the Irish immigrants presence in America. They feel that the incoming Irish will have eternal devotion to the Old Country and will be a negative addition to society. However, the Nativist's perception of their Irish immigrant counterparts may have had some rationale behind it. The American Irish tended to isolate themselves into small ghettos, socialize...

...discovered New York State and allowed the Dutch colonies to retrieve the area in 1609. In 1664 England purchased the island of Manhattan and transformed it into a major trading port for the 13 original colonies. New York City then became an area of great population and diversity. In the early 18th century, New York City was still owned by the British, but immigrants from the Netherlands, England, France, and Germany all took residence there as well as African slaves who were typically all indentured servants at the time. By 1740 approximately 500 out of 2,500 residents of New York were slaves. The people whom were not slaves feared that African Americans were plotting to burn down the city. Subsequently, in 1765 Parliament passed the Stamp Act, which was considered to be the first organized act of resistant towards British authority. Although George Washington’s Continental Army was based in Brooklyn and Harlem Heights, New York City, Manhattan was given to the British and used as a British military base until 1783 (“New York City”). During the time that the British controlled New York City, the area was greatly damaged twice by fires. These fires were believed to have started by the British military role and the British began to keep American prisoners of war in prisons across from the East River in Brooklyn. In these prisons, more Americans lost their lives than those who had died in every battle of the war combined. But on November 25, 1783 occupancy of New York State was...

...The New York Times Co. Why is the newspaper industry so family controlled? What other industries have a lot of family-controlled companies? What attributes might support family control? Family owned newspaper companies believe that the journalistic integrity of the newspaper demands family control, so called “family values”. The reason the families give is that the ownership of a newspaper is a "public trust" because of the role of the press in a democracy. Therefore, if a person unrelated to the founder (or some long-ago acquirer as in the New York Times case) takes control over the newspaper, they would manage it with the aim of maximizing profits and thus change the company’s value and reliability in providing quality information to its customers. Family-owned enterprises play a powerful role in the world economy. The auto Industry such as Porsche, Ford Motor Co., Hyundai Motor, and Peugeot Citroen S.A., and retail grocery and consumable business such as Walmart and Carrefour are great examples of family-controlled companies. In order to be successful as both the company and the family grow, a family business must achieve strong business performance and keep the family committed to and capable of carrying on as the owner. A prime determinant of how long a family dynasty will endure is how well its business is run and how effective its management is. Attributes such as control of ownership (how shares can be traded inside and outside de family), governance...
