白宮白宮,
The White House,直譯是「白色的房子」,由於是美國總統的官邸、辦公室。供第一家庭成員居住,所以中文譯成「白宮」。位於美國華盛頓市區中心賓夕法尼亞大街1600號。白宮北接拉斐特廣場,南鄰愛麗普斯公園,與高聳的華盛頓紀念碑相望,是一座白色的二層樓房。它從前並非白色,也不稱白宮,而被稱作「總統大廈」、「總統之宮」。1792年始建時是一棟灰色的沙石建築

The most beguiling city in the world, New York is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Wandering the streets here, you'll cut between buildings that are icons to the modern age – and whether gazing at the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as you speed across the Queensboro bridge, experiencing the 4am half-life downtown, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry, you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it all. There's no place quite like it.
While the events of September 11, 2001, which demolished the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core, the populace responded resiliently under the composed aegis of then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Until the attacks, many New Yorkers loved to hate Giuliani, partly because they saw him as committed to making their city too much like everyone else's. To some extent he succeeded, and ring the late Nineties New York seemed cleaner, safer, and more liveable, as the city took on a truly international allure and shook off the more notorious aspects to its reputation. However, the maverick quality of New York and its people still shines as brightly as it ever did. Even in the aftermath of the World Trade Center's collapse, New York remains a unique and fascinating city – and one you'll want to return to again and again.
You could spend weeks in New York and still barely scratch the surface, but there are some key attractions – and some pleasures – that you won't want to miss. There are the different ethnic neighborhoods, like lower Manhattan's Chinatown and the traditionally Jewish Lower East Side (not so much anymore); and the more artsy concentrations of SoHo, TriBeCa, and the East and West Villages. Of course, there is the celebrated architecture of corporate Manhattan, with the skyscrapers in downtown and midtown forming the most indelible images. There are the museums, not just the Metropolitan and MoMA, but countless other smaller collections that afford weeks of happy wandering. In between sights, you can eat just about anything, at any time, cooked in any style; you can drink in any kind of company; and sit through any number of obscure movies. The more established arts – dance, theater, music – are superbly catered for; and New York's clubs are as varied and exciting as you might expect. And for the avid consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist dream.
1)Metropolitan Museum of Art
Any visitor to New York should spend at least a couple of hours at this vast museum. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt in 1895, it has more than 1.5 million square feet of exhibition space. European paintings on display include works by Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Titian and Vermeer. The Egyptian gallery is unparalleled. Asian art, sculpture, armory, and photography also vie for your attention. During warm weather, the open-air roof garden displays contemporary sculpture. See their website for exhibition schele, membership details, complete visitor details and especially Met Holiday Mondays.
2)Statue of Liberty
Lady Liberty, representative of freedom to the world, shines bright in New York Harbor. Created by Frenchman Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the Statue was a gift from France to the United States. Now, visitors can view the inside of the statue through a glass ceiling, and capture a better image of Lady Liberty through the enhanced lighting and video system surrounding the statue. Visitors can walk onto the observation deck to see New York City and its Harbor. With a torch and a book in her hands, Lady Liberty has generously welcomed immigrants and visitors for over a century
3)Empire State Building
The majestic Empire State Building was completed in 1931 as the world's tallest building. While not the tallest anymore, it remains as impressive as ever. At night the building is lit up, with special colors displayed on holidays. Tickets can be purchased online through the Empire State Building's website or in the building's lobby. The observatory here is open 365 days a year.
4)Broadway
Broadway, as the name implies, is a wide avenue in New York City, and is the oldest north-south main thoroughfare in the city, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement. The name Broadway is an English translation of the Dutch name, Breede weg. The street is famous as the pinnacle of the American theater instry. (Although this article is about the world-known Manhattan avenue which also runs into the Bronx, there are other streets called "Broadway" throughout New York City, one each in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. In addition, there exist short, often isolated stretches of streets that use the name, including East Broadway, West Broadway, and Old Broadway.)
Broadway originated as an Indian trail called the Wickquasgeck Trail, which was carved into the brush land of Manhattan. This trail originally snaked through swamps and rocks along the length of Manhattan Island. Upon the arrival of the Dutch, the trail soon became the main road through the island from New Amsterdam at the southern tip. The Dutch explorer and entrepreneur David de Vries gives the first mention of it in his journal for the year 1642 ("the Wickquasgeck Road over which the Indians passed daily").
5)Fifth Avenue
This article is about the street in Manhattan. For other uses, see Fifth Avenue (disambiguation).
Street sign at corner of Fifth Avenue and East 57th Street
Fifth Avenue, early morning photograph, looking south from Thirty-eighth StreetFifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, USA. Between 34th Street and 59th Street, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world, often compared to Oxford Street in London, the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Via Montenapoleone in Milan and Ginza in Tokyo.
Fifth Avenue serves as a symbol of wealthy New York. It is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with Paris, London, and Tokyo lease prices: the "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis..[1]
In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Fifth Avenue as being the most expensive street in the world.
Fifth Avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, along the eastern side of Central Park, where it forms the boundary of the Upper East Side and through Harlem, where it terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the Madison Avenue Bridge.
Fifth Avenue is the dividing line for house numbering in Manhattan. It separates, for example, East Fifty-ninth Street from West Fifty-ninth Street. From this zero point for street addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, with 1 West Fifty-ninth Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 West Fifty-ninth Street located three blocks to the west of it.
6)Wall street
Wall Street is a street in lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. It runs east from Broadway to South Street on the East River, through the historical center of the Financial District. Wall Street was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange; over time Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood.[1] Wall Street is also shorthand (or a metonym) for the "influential financial interests" of the American financial instry, which is centered in the New York City area.[2] Several major U.S. stock and other exchanges remain headquartered on Wall Street and in the Financial District, including the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, NYMEX, and NYBOT.
7)The United Nations
The current United Nations headquarters building was constructed on a 16 acre site in New York City between 1949 and 1950, beside the East River. This office project land was bought for 8.5 million dollars by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., using his son Nelson as a crucial negotiator with New York's major developer, William Zeckendorf, in December 1946. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. then donated the land to the UN.
The headquarters was designed by an international team of architects that included Le Corbusier (Switzerland), Oscar Niemeyer (Brazil), and representatives of numerous other nations. Wallace K. Harrison, an adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, headed the team. There is disagreement among scholars as to attribution. UN headquarters officially opened on 9 January, 1951. While the principal headquarters of the UN are in New York, there are major agencies located in Geneva, The Hague, Vienna, Montreal, Copenhagen, Bonn, and elsewhere.
The street address of the UN headquarters is: 760 United Nations Plaza, New York City, NY 10017, USA. Due to security concerns, all mail sent to that address is sterilized.
8)Washington Square
Washington Square Park is one of the best-known of New York City's 1,700 public parks. At 9.75 acres (39,500 m2), it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity.[1] It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
An open space with a tradition of nonconformity, the park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU, others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings. The university rents the park for its graation ceremonies, and uses the Arch as a symbol. NYU wants the park to be the core of the school's campus. As early as 1922 its Chancellor predicted that the university would take over the park for its own uses,[2] but so far that has not happened. Local residents consider the park to be an essential part of the neighborhood, and have mounted campaigns to preserve it.
9)Chinatown
New York's Chinatown is a cultural haven full of ancient and exotic traditions, and a huge amount of restaurants. This bustling and crowded neighborhood is home to over half of the city's Chinese population. In the grocery stores and fruit stands, you will find many food items available nowhere else in the city - from exotic fruit and vegetables to live snails and dried shrimp. Excellent Thai, Vietnamese and Korean restaurants have joined the mix. Every lunar new year, the street are filled with the hubbub of the Chinatown Chinese New Year Parade .

G. 華盛頓景點美食用英文
華盛頓旅遊抄景點介紹之美食,華盛頓是個有著高品質餐飲業的城市,最好的餐廳是一些高級賓館里的餐廳,食物和服務都屬一流,但價格較貴。此外,市內各處都有不同民族風味的餐廳,義大利餐廳和法國餐廳是其中較為豪華的,價格相對較貴。如果想吃魚,可以去城市西南面的河岸邊,那裡是海鮮餐廳的集中地。亞當斯-摩根地區有許多印度、非洲和中東的餐廳,在那裡可以吃到味道濃烈的蘸食辣肉。與華盛頓特區交界的貝斯達拉則是一個大規模的餐廳城,那裡主要聚集了德州、墨西哥、西班牙及拉丁美洲風味的餐廳,可以品嘗到口味純正的蔬菜冷湯及土豆片沙拉。華盛頓西北部的中國城裡則主要分布著包括中國餐廳在內的亞州餐廳,有越南菜、印尼菜和泰國菜等等。

I. 美國華盛頓的簡介景點之類的。(英文)帶中文翻譯。
華盛頓被美國人稱為「國家的心臟」,是聯邦政府的直轄區,也是美國的政治、文化、教育中心。它位於馬里蘭州和弗吉尼亞州交界處,全稱為「華盛頓哥倫比亞特區」,是為了紀念開國元勛華盛頓和發現新大陸的哥倫布而起的。全市面積174平方公里,其所轄的市縣包括馬里蘭州的2個縣、弗吉尼亞州的4個縣及費爾法克斯、福爾斯徹奇、亞歷山德里亞3個城鎮,人口320萬,其中黑人約佔70%。
華盛頓市區位於波托馬克河和阿納卡斯蒂亞河匯合處的東北岸,冬冷夏熱,7月溫度約在20-31℃,1月則在3--6℃;全年雨水充足,年平均降水量1068毫米,季節分配較均勻。歷史上這里曾是印第安人的居住地,17世紀初歐洲移民在此建立煙草種植園。1789年華盛頓決定在此建都。
華盛頓是世界各國少有的僅以政府行政職能為主的現代化大城市。因為聯邦政府禁止在該市發展工業,所以財政收入主要依賴政府公務及各企業的業務活動,其次是旅遊業。製造業只佔經濟結構的一小部分,以印刷出版業、食品工業、高級化妝和服裝業為主。
市區呈正四邊形,布局勻稱,視野開闊。全市的建築物都不超過華盛頓紀念碑的高度,市中心的國會大廈是全城最高的大樓,也不過只有八層樓。1790年國會決定將巴洛克建築風格與凡爾賽、巴黎建築風格融合在一起,在波托馬克河畔建都。從市中心起,以北、東、南3條國會大街和邁爾為分區的基線,可把市區分為西北、東北、西南和東南4區。其中心部位有建於低矮丘陵國會山的國會大廈,大廈西北約2.5公里處為總統居住的白宮。國會大廈和白宮之間有"聯邦三角"建築群,包括聯邦政府各部、機構以及國家美術館、國家檔案館、泛美聯盟、史密森國家博物館和聯邦儲備大廈等。國會大廈東鄰為最高法院大廈,附近的國會圖書館為僅次於莫斯科列寧圖書館的世界第二大館,毗鄰的莎士比亞圖書館以藏莎翁著作及其研究文獻而著稱於世。國防部所在的五角大樓座落於波托馬克河西南岸。
城區有數百處紀念建築物、紀念碑、雕像等,大部與歷屆總統有關。在市區西部、波托馬克河東岸的綠化地帶,有歷史上3位總統的紀念地:華盛頓紀念塔面臨波托馬克河公園,為白大理石的方尖塔,高169米,可俯視全市景色。沿河是著名的日本櫻花林;紀念塔西面有林肯紀念堂,為古希臘式建築,堂外有36根白大理石圓校,象徵當時組成國家的36個州;內有林肯坐像;紀念塔南面有傑斐遜總統紀念堂,堂外有他的騎馬雕像。1971年又建成約翰。肯尼迪中心,包括現代化的劇院、音樂廳、歌劇院、交響樂院和芭蕾舞劇院等。
華盛頓多公園、林蔭道和草地廣場,漫步街頭,隨處可見蒼綠的植物。留連期間,這個象徵美利堅精神的城市會給你留下深刻的映象。市內最大公園是羅克公園,佔地710公頃,位於市區西北。設在華盛頓的著名大學有建於1789年的喬治敦大學,以及喬治·華盛頓大學、美利堅大學和霍華特大學等,後者為全國最大的黑人學生占優勢的大學。
春天是華盛頓的旅遊旺季,潮汐湖和華盛頓紀念碑附近盛開的櫻花將整個城市襯托得分外美麗,這個季節去華盛頓可以目睹這個城市最美麗的一面。
When you hear people talk about Washington, D.C., you may want to know what the letters D.C.mean.They mean'District of Columbia'.Washington, the capital city of the U.S.A., is in the District of Columbia, not, as you might expect, in the State of Washington.Washington State is thousands of miles away on the north-west coast.(There are also several other towns called Wash ington in the United States.)
Washington, D.C.lies between Virginia and Maryland on the Potomac River.It's about 220 miles south of New York City.The pleasantest and easiest way to get there is by long-distance bus, or by the fast(125-miles-an-hour)train which costs a little more than the bus journey and a little less than flying.I would travel far more than 200 miles to see Washington It's not a city that has grown up accidentally as most big cities have done.It was carefully planned as the nation's capital by a Frenchman, Pierre L'Enfant.The city was named after George Washington, the much-loved, much-ad mired, much-respected first President of the United States.In 1791he himself arranged to buy the land on which it stands.
Now let's take our first look at the capital.For a few moments you may feel you are dreaming and that you have stepped back through the centuries into ancient Greece.Many of the beautiful, shining white buildings are built in the noble style of the ancient Greek temples, and stand in wide avenues amid trees and fountains. Most of them are museums or Government offices.Government is the chief business of Washington.The chief Government building is called the Capitol.With its high dome, it looks a little like St Paul's in London or St Peter's in Rome.It stands on a hill overlooking the city, which is divided by Rock Creek Park.A long wide avenue called the Mall leads to the Capitol.At the other end of this avenue a tall, white, needle-like building points to the sky.This is, of course, the highest「needle」in the world--the Washington Monu ment.
On both sides of the Mall are museums and GOvernment build ings.What a surprise this city is!Washington and New York seem to be in two different worlds.Here there are no huge office skyscrapers and so it's not necessary to lean back wards to look up all the time.Then there is the Washington Cathedral which looks very like a cathedral in an old European city.Of course, as in any other big city, parts of Washington are not so pleasant.There are narrow dirty little streets and ugly houses.But there are many splendid things to see and, because Washington covers such a wide area, the easiest way to see them is to take a special sight-seeing bus or a「mini-bus」or「tourmobile」.But don't expect the guides on the buses to give you a very serious talk.
On one tour, I remember, the guide told us: 「That's the Washington Monument, folks, 」'(PeoPle here are often addressed as 「folks」).「It's the highest'needle' of its kind in the world.」And then he added, 「At least, I don't know a higher one!」
This is the city where America remembers her famous Presi dents.The guide will take you to see the memorials to them.The Jefferson Memorial is a very beautiful white building in the shape of a circle.Its roof is supported by tall columns.Inside stands a statue of President Jefferson.The Lincoln Memorial is a huge white build ing.Inside you can see a famous statue of Abraham Lincoln, sitting in a great chair.The theatre where he was murdered while watch ing a play is now a museum, the Lincoln Museum.Then there is the memorial to President Kennedy at Arlington.Here a flame which was lit on the day of his funeral burns and is never put out.Like Lincoln, Kennedy was shot.Another, newer, memorial to him is the John F.Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, over looking the Potomac River.It is a huge place and contains the Eisenhower Theatre, and opera house and the concert hall which is the home of the National Symphony Orchestra.Operas, ballets and concerts are frequently performed there.
Across the Potomac River is the Pentagon, a strange, low, five-sided building.This is the headquarters of the American army, and is also the American Ministry of Defense.During World War Ⅱ more than 35, 000 people were employed here, which gives you an idea of its size.
Everyone, of course, wants to see the White House.On my first visit to Washington a stranger came up to me and asked if I knew where the White House was.I felt pleased to be able to give him directions.In fact I had just left it.I could not have told him where any other place was!The White House really is white, clean shining white, and the beautiful gardens around it make it look like a pleasant American country house.The public is allowed inside on guided tours.
You could spend days at the Smithsonian Institute, which in cludes ten buildings, housing the Museums of Natural History, National Gallery of Art, Arts and Instries Building and several others.Here also is the Air and Space Building which is packed with the history of flying, from the early days up to our own time of space travel.It is exciting to see a model of the strange-looking machine which, in 1969, landed two men on the moon.Also the actual spaceship in which the three Americans travelled safely back to Earth, ending the greatest adventure in the history of the world.Here you will feel close to it all, and astonished that it was ever possible.
Should you feel that you'd like to know more about the history of America, you could visit the Wax Museum on 4th and E Streets, where there are life-like scenes, with sound and move ment, from the country's past.Afterwards, for some fun and a laugh, go to watch the performing dolphins in the dolphin theatre.
If you've any dollar left, you might like to spend a few lazy hours shopping and eating in Georgetown.It's an interesting old town with a lot of eighteenth century houses and it is conveniently near the centre of the city.
Visitors should make the interesting 15-mile boat-trip down the broad Potomac River to the home of George Washington, which is at Mount Vernon in the state of Virginia.You can eat and drink on the boat, and enjoy music and dancing by moonlight.George Washington's home is a simple white country house kept just as it was when he lived there.Here, also, guides will take you inside and show you around.American parents from all parts of the country bring their children to this famous and popular place, for they are all taught at school that George Washington was'the father of his country'.

A huge suspension bridge, the second largest span in the world, now crosses the Verrazanon Narrows through which every ship must pass on its way to New York Harbor and the docks along side the banks of the Hudson River.Giovanni da Verrazano, an Italian explorer, was the first person to approach these narrows, while searching for a northwest passage to the Pacific in 1524.He paused, but decided there was no point in exploring any further.The English explorer, Henry Hudson, was the first to sail into New York Harbor(in 1609) and up the river to which he gave his name.He, too, was looking for a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
The English, however, were not the first to colonize New York.The Dutch bought Manhattan Island from the Indians for what today would be the equivalent of$24!They named it New Amsterdam.In New Amsterdam had a population of 800. The Dutch discovered that the island's soil lay on hard rock, while much of the land between the island and the coastal strip was swamp.They filled the swamp with their garbage and so created what is today Brooklyn. They also improved the soil of the northern area, now known as the Bronx.
In 1664 the English and the Dutch went to war.New Amster dam was seized by the English fleet, and finally, in 1674, it became an English colony.It was renamed New York.The Dutch and English colonists got on well together, sharing the same spirit of independence.They were both fiercely separatist in the American Revolution, and fought side by side against the British.
After the war, New York became the first capital of the Unit ed States, being already the largest city in North America.By the end of the 18th century it had a population of 60 thousand, but it grew rapidly ring the 19th century thanks to the millions of im migrants who landed there.However, New York did not remain the capital for long.In 1793 the foundation of a new capital city was laid by Washington, and the Americans called their new capital Washington, after their great leader.New York, however, became one of the largest and most powerful cities in the western world and has at present a population of more than 8 million.
Modern New York is an exciting city.The architecture of Manhattan, with its soaring skyscrapers, is not soulless, as many foreigners imagine.The materials used-copper, stainless steel, con crete and glass--give the buildings a striking beauty.The long av enues, broad and straight, lined with expensive stores and massive apartment houses, impress by their scale alone.So does Central Park whose trees and rocks and lakes almost give the impression of a wilderness.
New York is an impressive place for those who love the arts.Its museums and numerous art galleries, the concerts, opera and ballet performed at the Lincoln Center, the theaters on and off Broadway and in Greenwich Village, make it one of the world's centers of the arts.
New York, of course, has other faces less attractive.The poor districts of the city have some of the worst slums in the U.S.A., and it is not safe for a white person to walk in the black ghettos of Harlem and the Bronx.Its crime rate is among the highest in the western world.
The narrow canyon of Wall Street, right down on the tip of Manhattan, is the center of New York's business world, whose power full influence is felt by countries everywhere.New York has what many people consider to be the finest daily newspaper in the English language--the New York Times.
Many foreigners mistakenly believe that Manhattan is New York, whereas Manhattan is just one of New York's five bor oughs. It is not the largest.The Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens are now larger than Manhattan, leaving only far away Richmond, on the other side of the Verrazano Narrows, with a smaller popula tion.These four boroughs have been called the「bedrooms」 of Manhattan, because most of their residents work in Manhattan.
New York's boroughs are still divided up into neighborhoods, and moving from one to another is still rather like moving from one country to another.
New York is a city of bridges and tunnels, for both Manhattan and Richmond are islands and the city as a whole has a waterfront of 520 miles.

The most beguiling city in the world, New York is an adrenaline-charged, history-laden place that holds immense romantic appeal for visitors. Wandering the streets here, you'll cut between buildings that are icons to the modern age – and whether gazing at the flickering lights of the midtown skyscrapers as you speed across the Queensboro bridge, experiencing the 4am half-life downtown, or just wasting the morning on the Staten Island ferry, you really would have to be made of stone not to be moved by it all. There's no place quite like it.
While the events of September 11, 2001, which demolished the World Trade Center, shook New York to its core, the populace responded resiliently under the composed aegis of then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani. Until the attacks, many New Yorkers loved to hate Giuliani, partly because they saw him as committed to making their city too much like everyone else's. To some extent he succeeded, and ring the late Nineties New York seemed cleaner, safer, and more liveable, as the city took on a truly international allure and shook off the more notorious aspects to its reputation. However, the maverick quality of New York and its people still shines as brightly as it ever did. Even in the aftermath of the World Trade Center's collapse, New York remains a unique and fascinating city – and one you'll want to return to again and again.
You could spend weeks in New York and still barely scratch the surface, but there are some key attractions – and some pleasures – that you won't want to miss. There are the different ethnic neighborhoods, like lower Manhattan's Chinatown and the traditionally Jewish Lower East Side (not so much anymore); and the more artsy concentrations of SoHo, TriBeCa, and the East and West Villages. Of course, there is the celebrated architecture of corporate Manhattan, with the skyscrapers in downtown and midtown forming the most indelible images. There are the museums, not just the Metropolitan and MoMA, but countless other smaller collections that afford weeks of happy wandering. In between sights, you can eat just about anything, at any time, cooked in any style; you can drink in any kind of company; and sit through any number of obscure movies. The more established arts – dance, theater, music – are superbly catered for; and New York's clubs are as varied and exciting as you might expect. And for the avid consumer, the choice of shops is vast, almost numbingly exhaustive in this heartland of the great capitalist dream.
1)Metropolitan Museum of Art
Any visitor to New York should spend at least a couple of hours at this vast museum. Designed by Richard Morris Hunt in 1895, it has more than 1.5 million square feet of exhibition space. European paintings on display include works by Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Titian and Vermeer. The Egyptian gallery is unparalleled. Asian art, sculpture, armory, and photography also vie for your attention. During warm weather, the open-air roof garden displays contemporary sculpture. See their website for exhibition schele, membership details, complete visitor details and especially Met Holiday Mondays.
2)Statue of Liberty
Lady Liberty, representative of freedom to the world, shines bright in New York Harbor. Created by Frenchman Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, the Statue was a gift from France to the United States. Now, visitors can view the inside of the statue through a glass ceiling, and capture a better image of Lady Liberty through the enhanced lighting and video system surrounding the statue. Visitors can walk onto the observation deck to see New York City and its Harbor. With a torch and a book in her hands, Lady Liberty has generously welcomed immigrants and visitors for over a century
3)Empire State Building
The majestic Empire State Building was completed in 1931 as the world's tallest building. While not the tallest anymore, it remains as impressive as ever. At night the building is lit up, with special colors displayed on holidays. Tickets can be purchased online through the Empire State Building's website or in the building's lobby. The observatory here is open 365 days a year.
4)Broadway
Broadway, as the name implies, is a wide avenue in New York City, and is the oldest north-south main thoroughfare in the city, dating to the first New Amsterdam settlement. The name Broadway is an English translation of the Dutch name, Breede weg. The street is famous as the pinnacle of the American theater instry. (Although this article is about the world-known Manhattan avenue which also runs into the Bronx, there are other streets called "Broadway" throughout New York City, one each in the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens, and Staten Island. In addition, there exist short, often isolated stretches of streets that use the name, including East Broadway, West Broadway, and Old Broadway.)
Broadway originated as an Indian trail called the Wickquasgeck Trail, which was carved into the brush land of Manhattan. This trail originally snaked through swamps and rocks along the length of Manhattan Island. Upon the arrival of the Dutch, the trail soon became the main road through the island from New Amsterdam at the southern tip. The Dutch explorer and entrepreneur David de Vries gives the first mention of it in his journal for the year 1642 ("the Wickquasgeck Road over which the Indians passed daily").
5)Fifth Avenue
This article is about the street in Manhattan. For other uses, see Fifth Avenue (disambiguation).
Street sign at corner of Fifth Avenue and East 57th Street
Fifth Avenue, early morning photograph, looking south from Thirty-eighth StreetFifth Avenue is a major thoroughfare in the center of the borough of Manhattan in New York City, USA. Between 34th Street and 59th Street, it is also one of the premier shopping streets in the world, often compared to Oxford Street in London, the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Via Montenapoleone in Milan and Ginza in Tokyo.
Fifth Avenue serves as a symbol of wealthy New York. It is consistently ranked as one of the most expensive streets in the world, on a par with Paris, London, and Tokyo lease prices: the "most expensive street in the world" moniker changes depending on currency fluctuations and local economic conditions from year to year. For several years starting in the mid-1990s, the shopping district between 49th and 57th Streets was ranked as having the world's most expensive retail spaces on a cost per square foot basis..[1]
In 2008, Forbes magazine ranked Fifth Avenue as being the most expensive street in the world.
Fifth Avenue originates at Washington Square Park in Greenwich Village and runs northwards through the heart of Midtown, along the eastern side of Central Park, where it forms the boundary of the Upper East Side and through Harlem, where it terminates at the Harlem River at 142nd Street. Traffic crosses the river on the Madison Avenue Bridge.
Fifth Avenue is the dividing line for house numbering in Manhattan. It separates, for example, East Fifty-ninth Street from West Fifty-ninth Street. From this zero point for street addresses, numbers increase in both directions as one moves away from Fifth Avenue, with 1 West Fifty-ninth Street on the corner at Fifth Avenue, and 300 West Fifty-ninth Street located three blocks to the west of it.
6)Wall street
Wall Street is a street in lower Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. It runs east from Broadway to South Street on the East River, through the historical center of the Financial District. Wall Street was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange; over time Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood.[1] Wall Street is also shorthand (or a metonym) for the "influential financial interests" of the American financial instry, which is centered in the New York City area.[2] Several major U.S. stock and other exchanges remain headquartered on Wall Street and in the Financial District, including the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, NYMEX, and NYBOT.
7)The United Nations
The current United Nations headquarters building was constructed on a 16 acre site in New York City between 1949 and 1950, beside the East River. This office project land was bought for 8.5 million dollars by John D. Rockefeller, Jr., using his son Nelson as a crucial negotiator with New York's major developer, William Zeckendorf, in December 1946. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. then donated the land to the UN.
The headquarters was designed by an international team of architects that included Le Corbusier (Switzerland), Oscar Niemeyer (Brazil), and representatives of numerous other nations. Wallace K. Harrison, an adviser to Nelson Rockefeller, headed the team. There is disagreement among scholars as to attribution. UN headquarters officially opened on 9 January, 1951. While the principal headquarters of the UN are in New York, there are major agencies located in Geneva, The Hague, Vienna, Montreal, Copenhagen, Bonn, and elsewhere.
The street address of the UN headquarters is: 760 United Nations Plaza, New York City, NY 10017, USA. Due to security concerns, all mail sent to that address is sterilized.
8)Washington Square
Washington Square Park is one of the best-known of New York City's 1,700 public parks. At 9.75 acres (39,500 m2), it is a landmark in the Manhattan neighborhood of Greenwich Village, as well as a meeting place and center for cultural activity.[1] It is operated by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.
An open space with a tradition of nonconformity, the park's fountain area has long been one of the city's popular spots for residents and tourists. Most of the buildings surrounding the park now belong to New York University. Some of the buildings have been built by NYU, others have been converted from their former uses into academic and residential buildings. The university rents the park for its graation ceremonies, and uses the Arch as a symbol. NYU wants the park to be the core of the school's campus. As early as 1922 its Chancellor predicted that the university would take over the park for its own uses,[2] but so far that has not happened. Local residents consider the park to be an essential part of the neighborhood, and have mounted campaigns to preserve it.
9)Chinatown
New York's Chinatown is a cultural haven full of ancient and exotic traditions, and a huge amount of restaurants. This bustling and crowded neighborhood is home to over half of the city's Chinese population. In the grocery stores and fruit stands, you will find many food items available nowhere else in the city - from exotic fruit and vegetables to live snails and dried shrimp. Excellent Thai, Vietnamese and Korean restaurants have joined the mix. Every lunar new year, the street are filled with the hubbub of the Chinatown Chinese New Year Parade .
