New York City in a Nutshell

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

New York is pure energy. You’ve seen the towering skyscrapers, the bustling traffic and bright lights in the movies. The Big Apple is home to the world’s finest museums, most diverse restaurants, and top rate music and entertainment. Infinite sidewalks lead to café-lined streets, unique designer stores, and the green grass hills of Central Park. The spring you feel in your step is just one reason why this is the world’s favorite city.

New York City is small in size but big in numbers. It’s the most densely populated city in North America with 8 million citizens on just 830 km2 of land. It’s always been a city of immigrants, and even today about one third of its citizens are foreign born. Roughly 138 languages are spoken here, and vibrant new ethnic enclaves pop up all over the city, offering visitors interesting cultural and culinary experiences.

While the city pulses with the blood of its newest residents, old New York is still alive and well. Opera still bursts from the venerable stage of Lincoln Center; Wall Street, the hive of capitalism, still bustles with the excitement and tension of the stock market; and the stately apartments of New York’s wealthy still frame majestic Central Park. New York City is made up of five boroughs: The Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Mostly when people speak of New York they mean Manhattan.

Visitors with a little extra time on their hands should pay a visit to Brooklyn. Though once considered dangerous, New York has cracked down on street crime and is now one of America’s safest cities. The best way to see it is to walk. Numbered streets in Manhattan make navigation easy. Streets run from east to west, and avenues intersect from north to south (uptown and downtown).

New Yorkers are friendly and talkative (contrary to their reputation) and nearly every night of the week the city’s bars and clubs are crowded with revelers. There are several universities in New York ( New York University, Columbia University in the City of New York )  which contribute to keeping the city young.

Street View for New York City

Thursday, June 8th, 2006

Street View for New York City Street View, a new feature from Google, went live this morning on Google Maps. Street View allows users to get real 360-degree street imagery of New York area streets, buildings and neighborhoods. How detailed are the photos? Enough to read street signs, addresses and even recognize people if they happened to be visible as the Google camera crews drove public streets. Stephen Chau, product manager for Google Maps Street View, said that anyone concerned about an image of themselves, their house address or license plate being recognizable can flag the photo and ask Google to remove it.” At Google, we take privacy very seriously,” he said, noting that identifying photos of domestic abuse shelters, for example, don’t appear on the Street View images. He stressed, however, that Google crews drove public roads and only took photos of what was visible from the street.
