General Narrative Although European settlers had encountered the region on prior occasions, legend grants September 14, 1609, a day of particular reckoning in Westchester County history: the day Henry Hudson left anchorage at Spuyten Duyvil and traveled almost the entire Westchester shore.1 Others followed— especially from the Netherlands, whose traders took advantage of the rich flora and fauna of the land.2 Piece by piece, European explorers mapped and explored its features. For example, in 1614, Dutch explorer Adriaen Block became the first European mariner to enter the Long Island Sound.3 For a time, the Dutch West India Company maintained (on paper, at least) exclusive trade privileges on the shore of the Hudson.4 The first English vessel, meanwhile, arrived in 1619.5 Attempts to establish formal settlements in the region were slow in coming.

    Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity in the News

    Manhattan Retail Market MID-2ND QUARTER 2016 REPORT Retail Activity In The News Virtual Restaurant Business Revolutionizing Traditional Food Delivery The growing convenience of home food delivery through services such as Seamless and GrubHub has prompted the launch of what can be best described as “virtual restaurants.” One company Green Summit Group currently operates 2-kitchens and boasts 8 “restaurant” brands, yet is void of any storefronts. The business model is banking on the projection that most New York City dwellers won’t care or realize that the food is not being prepared in a traditional restaurant. Green Summit has eliminated the burden of managing retail spaces, while also further benef ting from its ability to shift menu items more quickly to cater to the fast-evolving preferences of consumers by creating another online-branded “restaurant” that appeals to the f avor of the moment. If a particular brand does not meet f nancial expectations it is easily scrapped, incurring a relatively low cost of failure. Currently in expansion mode, in addition to existing kitchens in Midtown and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, the Green Summit plans to open 4 additional kitchens in the Financial District, Downtown Brooklyn, the Upper East Side, and the East Village in 2016 in order to be within delivery range of 90% of New York’s online food-ordering population according to the company’s projections. Generating about $10 million in revenue in 2015, expansion plans are reportedly expected to triple revenue in 2016. Success of the company launched about 2 and a-half years ago may be short-lived in the opinion of some skeptics of the virtual model, pointing out that consumers want to engage with the restaurant brand.

    REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’S Island Park

    REVIEW 2013 - 2014 Dear Friend of Randall’s Island Park, Thank you for your interest in Randall’s Island Park. As Co-Chairs of the Randall’s Island Park Alliance (RIPA) Board of Trustees, we invite you to enjoy our 2013-2014 Review. RIPA’s continued success in reaching our goals comes through the great work and generosity of our many partners and supporters – a true Alliance in support of the Park’s programs, fields, facilities and natural areas. You will find in the following pages photos and acknowledgements of the many local program partners, donors, volunteers, elected officials and City and State agencies who have helped to bring us to this point. We are especially grateful to the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation for extraordinary support and guidance throughout our successful partnership of more than 20 years. Following its recent transformation, Randall’s Island Park’s visibility continues to grow, and more and more New Yorkers are visiting its shores. Our fellow Board Members, challenged and inspired by what the Park can be, continue to contribute countless hours and crucial support. In 2014 the Board undertook a comprehensive plan for improvement and expansion of our free public programs. Visits to the Island have nearly doubled in recent years, to approximately 3 million! We expect our increased free programming will continue to expand our universe of visitors and friends. Many thanks to these millions of fans who visit and who compliment the Park through positive feedback on our social media, sharing photos and observations, and who help us to grow our Alliance every day.

Doctoral Dissertations. 466. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/466 Rough and Ready Relief: American Identity, Humanitarian Experience, and the Commission for Relief in Belgium, 1914-1917 Thomas David Westerman, Ph.D. University of Connecticut, 2014 This dissertation examines a group of American men who adopted and adapted notions of American power for humanitarian ends in German-occupied Belgium with the Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) during World War I. The CRB, led by Herbert Hoover, controlled the importation of relief goods and provided supervision of the Belgian-led relief distribution. The young, college-educated American men who volunteered for this relief work between 1914 and 1917 constructed an effective and efficient humanitarian space for themselves by drawing not only on the power of their neutral American citizenship, but on their collectively understood American-ness as able, active, yet responsible young men serving abroad, thereby developing an alternative tool—the use of humanitarian aid—for the use and projection of American power in the early twentieth century. Drawing on their letters, diaries, recollections as well as their official reports on their work and the situation in Belgium, this dissertation argues that the early twentieth century formation of what we today understand to be non-state, international humanitarianism was partially established by Americans exercising explicit and implicit national power during the years of American neutrality in World War I.

    The Lion, the Rooster, and the Union: National Identity in the Belgian Clandestine Press, 1914-1918

    THE LION, THE ROOSTER, AND THE UNION: NATIONAL IDENTITY IN THE BELGIAN CLANDESTINE PRESS, 1914-1918 by MATTHEW R. DUNN Submitted to the Department of History of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for departmental honors Approved by: _________________________ Dr. Andrew Denning _________________________ Dr. Nathan Wood _________________________ Dr. Erik Scott _________________________ Date Abstract Significant research has been conducted on the trials and tribulations of Belgium during the First World War. While amateur historians can often summarize the “Rape of Belgium” and cite nationalism as a cause of the war, few people are aware of the substantial contributions of the Belgian people to the war effort and their significance, especially in the historical context of Belgian nationalism. Relatively few works have been written about the underground press in Belgium during the war, and even fewer of those works are scholarly. The Belgian underground press attempted to unite the country's two major national identities, Flemings and Walloons, using the German occupation as the catalyst to do so. Belgian nationalists were able to momentarily unite the Belgian people to resist their German occupiers by publishing pro-Belgian newspapers and articles. They relied on three pillars of identity—Catholic heritage, loyalty to the Belgian Crown, and anti-German sentiment. While this expansion of Belgian identity dissipated to an extent after WWI, the efforts of the clandestine press still serve as an important framework for the development of national identity today. By examining how the clandestine press convinced members of two separate nations, Flanders and Wallonia, to re-imagine their community to the nation of Belgium, historians can analyze the successful expansion of a nation in a war-time context.
