The Cathedral of St. John the Divine (Map New York disappear to differing amounts of fanfare and 18) has a very medieval vibe and is the world’s largest make room for whatever it is we’ll be romanticizing in the unfinished cathedral—a much cooler destination than the future. Ain’t that the circle of life? The landmarks discussed eternally crowded St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Map 12). are highly idiosyncratic choices, and this list is by no means complete or even logical, but we’ve included an array of places, from world famous to little known, all worth visiting.

PREFACE. It has occurred to the author very often that a volume presenting the peculiar features, favorite resorts and distinguishing characteristics, of the leading cities of America, would Peculiarities of American cities. http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbtn.05993 Library of Congress prove of interest to thousands who could, at best, see them only in imagination, and to others, who, having visited them, would like to compare notes with one who has made their PECULIARITIES a study for many years. A residence in more than a hundred cities, including nearly all that are introduced in this work, leads me to feel that I shall succeed in my purpose of giving to the public a book, without the necessity of marching in slow and solemn procession before my readers a monumental array of time-honored statistics; on the contrary, it will be my aim, in the following pages, to talk of cities as I have seen and found them in my walks, from day to day, with but slight reference to their origin and past history.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission November 22, 2016, Designation List 490 LP-2555 BEVERLY HOTEL (now The Benjamin Hotel), 125 East 50th Street (aka 125-129 East 50th Street; 557-565 Lexington Avenue), Manhattan. Built 1926-27; architect, Emery Roth, associate architect, Sylvan Bien Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1305, Lot 20 On July 19, 2016 the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the Beverly Hotel (now The Benjamin Hotel) and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of the law. Six people spoke in support of designation including representatives of Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer; Manhattan Community Boards 5 and 6, the New York Landmarks Conservancy, the Municipal Art Society and the Historic Districts Council. Three people spoke in opposition to designation including two representatives of the owners and the representative of the Real Estate Board of New York. In addition, the Commission received a letter from Council Member Daniel Garodnick and two e-mails from individuals in support of designation. Summary Located at the northeast corner of Lexington Avenue and East 50th Street and built in 1926-27, this 25-story (plus tower) hotel is one of the premiere hotels constructed along the noted “hotel alley” stretch of the avenue north of Grand Central Terminal. It was built as part of the redevelopment of this section of East Midtown that followed the opening of Grand Central Terminal and the Lexington Avenue subway line.
  • List of New York's Baseball Sites

    List of New York's Baseball Sites

    LIST OF NEW YORK’S BASEBALL SITES Major League Stadiums and related sites The New York metropolitan area is the scene of some of the most legendary events and home of the greatest figures in baseball history. From the first recorded baseball game at Elysian Fields in 1846, New York has been the “Capitol of Baseball” for 171 years. New York’s baseball history is written in many places – legendary stadiums, distinctive hotels, ordinary homes. Some of these sites are well-marked and internationally- known – others are marked with small plaques, tiny reminders, or even nothing at all. But every one of these sites listed played a major role in the history of baseball, is worth a visit, and deserves to be known and remembered. Enjoy! 1. Yankee Stadium (161st Street and River Avenue, The Bronx) Accessible by the No. 4, D, and B trains from Manhattan. The new Yankee Stadium, opened in April 2009. Costing $2.3 billion, it stands one block north of the original, on the 24-acre former site of Macombs Dam Park, and incorporates reproductions of many features from the original Yankee Stadium across the street, including the frieze, the Indiana limestone exterior, hand-operated scoreboards, the section numbering, and the unusually-shaped outfield dimensions. New features include a museum of Yankee history that displays Thurman Munson’s locker, a Great Hall on 161st Street, and an accessible Monument Park. Home plate was brought from the original Stadium, and Yankee relief pitcher and future Hall of Famer requested that the team reposition the home bullpen and provide it with a door to link it with Monument Park.

DESCRIPTIClil' AND ANALYSIS The Grand Hotel, an urbane marble structure crowned with a handsorre mansard roof, is a sophisticated exanple of the French Second Errq;>ire style. Built for Elias S. Higgins, an irrportant manufacturer and vendor of carpets, it was designed by Henry Engelbert in 1868 at the beginning of a period in New York's history that transfoJ::Ired Broadway between M:idison and Herald Squares into the heart of a glittering enterta.inrrent district.l . Just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War when M:idison Square was an exclusive residential quarter, rrost hotels, restaurants, theaters and stores of any distinction were still below Houston Street. However, with the end of the War and the recovery of the econ~ from the general depression that followed it, the relentless northward growth of the city resumed and a number of fashionable hotels opened near M:idison Square along Fifth Avenue and Broadway.
